ECU Question on swap

Ya might be a second post but the first one got lost in the shuffle.

Installed a 2000 b16a2 into a 93 civic.....In the link there is a photo of the 2 ecu's I have. I did install the knock sensor wire and the car seems to run good but a bit rich. Also at 8500 rpm it shows 4 to 5 grand on the tach...Also got the carbon creations front bumper in today...Dont bother calling trying to get one...According to them here were only 2 made and an employee of the plant has the other..... :smokin: Have not bolted it on yet but as you will see in the pics its gonna look sweet with the VIS fenders and hood.
Pics......... (http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/t_maxx_central/album?.dir=/1834&urlhint=actn,ren%3as,1%3af,0)

Thanks for any help and feedback in advance

You're using the P72 ECU correct?

That is correct.,,,,,,,What besides the knock sensor needs to be addressed?

Where did you hook up the tach to? Did you hook it to the Blue wire that's connected to the distributor? Like on here---> http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=798906
Also about running rich I'm not sure (this is just a guess) but maybe it's because you're running a GS-R ECU with the B16a2 so it's giving it more gas than the B16 ECU would...like I said this is just a guess. Hope something i wrote was helpful.

Motor was removed from a 2000 civic si. Is that not the ecu that came in that car with the motor I got...b16a2?......I did nothing to change the tach from the way it came from the factory....I thought maybe the dif in distibutors was the reason.

Thanks

Damn i'm sorry I'm a moron I was thinking it was an aftermarket tach; i don't know what the prob would be then. Everywhere I've seen p72 it said it's from a GS-R.
*damn where the hell is everyone else who know more than I do*
