How to tell ECU

[sicones]

ok this sucks ass I just bought this ecu off ebay and its so not the right one its almost, twice the size as mine and it also looks old, I need a 00 civic ex manual ecu and I have a 00 civic ex auto ecu in my car and the one I bought was suposted to be a 00 civic ex manual
look at these pictures
Mine looks excatly like this, and reads 37820-P2P-A92 and its made by IPT and it also says 6E in big letters

can some one tell me what the numbers are for a 00 civic ex manual and what the hell did this ass just sent me???

[sicones]

callin people with the civics

ok i did some research I think a 99-00 civic ex manual are identical and it reads 37820-P2P-A12 and its made by IPT (smaller ecu) can someone verify this

and I think the bigger ecu is for a eg 92-95 civic can someone verify this also
Im not 100% sure on this though
THANKS

p2p is d16y8 - That is the only set of digits that matters, when ID'ing a honda ecu

Whether its obd2 a or b, that depends on the pinouts:

This is obd2b, and is what you want for 99-00

There are no "D" section pins

This is obd2a (96-98)
http://technet.ff-squad.com/wiring/obd2a/plugs.jpg
There are no "B" section pins

Compare to yours :)

(Physical size isnt an identifier)
92-95 civic ex is p28

[sicones]

yes thats what he sent me OBD 2 A but isent the ecu suposted to be made by IPT, im going out side right now to look at my brothers 98

THANKS

What does it matter who made it?
If they said its a B and you got an A, tell them to refund your money and they have to pay for its return shipping.

[sicones]

yea my brothers 98 is picture 2 obd2a but his ecu is still made by IPT and i still dont know what the hell this guy sent me.

[pdiggitydogg]

Ok, It doesnt matter who made it.
All you need to know is that its an obd2a p2p...and thats not what you paid for

[sicones]

yea this is an obd2a p2p but what if its not a ex ecu, how can you tell if its ex dx etc.
well it will fit my brothers car if its a 98 ex man, then I'll keep it

[pdiggitydogg]

Because its p2p
Like I said, that is the identifier digit set
dx is p2e
hx is p2n

It will fit in your brothers car, yes, but I dont see why you'd bother putting it in, unless your bro's ecu is fried

I have a P2P ECU for sale. Came off my 99 civic EX 5-speed. Yes, it's OBD2b. Let me know. I'll sell it to you for a decent price.:yes:

[sicones]

yes will it pass smog in a 2000 though, I will definitely take it, oh these ecs are for our manual conversions.

[thermal]

It will plug straight up. The only way that this ECU will fail your smog test is if you manipulate the fuel curve using other means. It's completely stock man... LMK
