Ok here it goes. I am running a b20z engine with a gsr tranny. However I am still running the stock sohc ecu. Its a 98 civic hatch dx. First question is, Does my car have a obd1, obd2, or obd0 ecu? Second question is, can I plug in a ls ecu and will it work fine? I need help because the stock ecu causes some glitches sometimes.

Also, is there anywhere I can see what ecu's came with what cars and the type of connectors, etc?

your car is obd2 and the ls ecu should plug right up if u use a obd2 ls ecu

you'll need a 96-98 LS ECU. Or you could get an adapter harness to be able to run an OBD1 ECU (92-95)

the best thing to do would be to get an OBD1 ECU and adapter harness, where you could get the car tuned on the dyno and a program made especially for your setup. The OBD1 ECU can be chipped to whatever program is needed to run the car best.
