Sorry to tell you the bad news, but it won't work.

Application Notes

Base maps are included only for K20A2, K20A3 (RSX Base), K20A3 (Civic SI) and K20A engines.
The 2002- CRV ECU (5 speed) (PPA -A0# ECU) can be used.
Support for the manual K20A3 engine and the secondary intake runner as used in the base model RSX and CRV.
The Japanese PRD and PRC ECU do not support a fuel tank pressure sensor required for some US emissions tests, but will likely pass a tailpipe sniffer test if the catalytic converter is in place.
PNF, PPA and PND ECUs for 5 speed transmissions will not operate the reverse lock solenoid on 6 speed transmissions.
The K-Pro ECU will not work on Automatic vehicles. Automatic ECUs cannot be converted to manual.
To use the K-Pro on a 2005-2006 RSX, an adapter harness is required, an 02-04 specially modified ECU must be modified for used and the primary oxygen sensor from an 03-04 must be used.
Turn around time is usually 2 days from the time it is received.


I have my stock PNF ECU if you need an extra one to KPRO. I already have a PRB KPRO ECU so no worries. PM me if you want to purchase it.

Sorry for the late response, but USAF EP3 nailed it.
