    K20A ecu on K20A2

    Can the K20A2 run properly on the type-r ecu, because i just wanna know if i can get it running to bypass the immobilizer because the type-r doesn't have it. i'll get k-pro later, just a little low on cash that's why

    YEA it should work... I dont see why it wouldnt but the map might be off a little because both motors have different cams and compression...but you should be good to go..

    I think you can but I wouldn't really get into it to much.

    You will have to rewire your fuel pump relays, and it will NEVER pass emissions. You may have an issue or two with the oil pressure sensor.

    Yes its not OBD II. That is why Im using my stock EP3 ecu with KPro on my
    k20a swap.

    I ran a K20A.kal on my Z1 & it was very rich, horrible. I don't think the K20A ecu is worth using for your A2.

    so what about running the a2 on the a3 ecu just to the dealer to reset the ecu won't it still be running lean or off......

    I've ran a PRC ECU on my K20a2 swap in my EK. I passed emissions testing cause I was tested in a hot rod class here. So just a tail pipe test no obd testing. I'm sure you will fail the odbII with that ECU in your EP. But if you don't need testing yes the car runs fine (a little rich), however vtec is high on that ECU and I found that with the Type S tranny you can just fall out of vtec. Type R tranny must be a little shorter on the gearing.

    If you already have a PRC ecu then sure run it. If you need to buy one I wouldn't, cause they go for about half the price of Kpro.

    was your A2 stock, and did you have k-pro, because i heard the PRC ecu doesnt have the immobilizer that's why, right? also would it be running bad on the A3 ecu just to get to the dealer, which most people recommend, i figured that the A2 and the K20A is sorta the same but when compared to the A3 which is more off in compression, etc, etc....
