Swapping HX ecu with EX ecu??
I have a 96 5-spd HX, which has VTEC-E. A friend of mine is getting rid of his 96 EX ecu, and i was wondering if swapping the ecu would be at all beneficial. Some people say that it would enable regular VTEC in my car but i wanted to know for sure...
Thanks for the help

if it is free id go for it, you still mioght have some more p[ower out of it, but you will stil have the same vtec system. vtec E is 1 valve to 2 valves i think while vtec is 2 valves to 2 valves higher lift. I am alsoi not certain if the engagement points are the dsame on the EX and HX.

i suspect that an ecu swap would cause some serious issues. ie: fuel distribution and engagement times that would baffle your engine. you'd have a constant check engine light on, and likely goo for spark plugs and seals after a very short time. if you want the v-tec, get the head.
you could pick up a d16 for not that much...I imagine...and with some turbo... www.hmotorsonline.com
