Is this true?

ok im reading up on the net about my ultra rare automatic b16 and saw somewhere that there is a second ecu that controls the tranny? is this right? cuz i only have the PR3 that came with the motor.

now they were installing there auto b16 into a first gen crx(84-87) whereas i have a 91, can anyone shed some light on this?


plus i was wondering if anyone knows if the DX-VTEC wire conversion harness from Hasport is a good investment or if it would even work on my autobox.


thanks team.

It makes ur swap alot easier. I'd say go for it if you're lazy to do the conversion urself:D WHy do u want automatic anyways?

thank god someone knew, i feel better now, cuz god only knows where i would find a tranny ecu for a motor thats not even from america.

...later model cars have ecu's for the tranny...but the 88-91 tranny's are all controlled internally by valving and all that..no idea how it works, really ;) ..but no ecu ;)

EG SiR IIs had the auto option as did the XSi 'teg off the top of my head. I've seen both in front cuts :) And no - they arent that rare - just not as desirable

nah i had to get the auto box from the XSi since my moms said she would sometimes have to drive my car, and she cant drive stick, so i had no choice since she was paying for half the swap anyway.

plus i didnt wanna go through the hassle of converting it over, ok so i dont need the tranny ecu, but do y'all know if that harness will work for the auto?

I don't see why not seeing as how there is no wiring on a tranny.. The wiring is for VTEC and MPFI.

dont let them give you shit for having an auto tranny ... i got my SOHC ZC on an auto tranny since i hate traffic ... and its so much simpler on my life ...

I had a DOHC ZC with an auto tranny too.. If I bash on it, its because of experince.. An Si with slight mods would give me a good run for my money, so thats when I was like "fuck automatics" and I put a 5 speed B16 in. And now that I know and love standard, I say "fuck automatics". :)

But I'm the only one who drives my car and pays for my swaps, so I was pretty much free to do whatever I wanted to my car.

:eek:
hey man, finally someone else who has a automatic crx who's looking to make it fast. I'm just wondering if you could email me so we can talk about our rex's. I'm interested in what you've found out about our cars. hope to hear from you man. I am thinking about finding a 1.8 for my car...i heard all i'll need is diff. axles and wiring. is that not true?

you need some more than that, but ill holla at you over the email.

and that my friends "... is a shared momment ..."
