I believe that the TCU controls the tranny so The ECU i Believe is the same...

The ECU's are interchangable. Doesn't matter which trans the ECU is.Comment

It will work, however I don't think your torque convertor will lock it like its supposed to. I had the same setup in my Accord.91 ex auto-sold!Originally posted by nine_deuceWhat I'd do is this: spray brake fluid in her eyes, shoot her with a nail gun, while she's down, give her a "chili dog" or a "strawberry shortcake" a "rusty fish hook is always fun"

an ECU is exactly what it is. ENGINE controll unit. has nothing to do with transmission. some people say they feel a difference, but its a load of crap and its all in their head.
TCU = TRANSMISSION control unit u need only if u have an automatic. in a 5 speed YOU are the TCU !Comment

LOL at 65 u should be at 3.3 AT MOST !!! i know at 90 im at 4k and btwn 70-80 im at 3.5
with that DX ECU your butterflies arent opening so ur only running on half the runners, basically strangling your engine hahaa
ECU is very important to a motor. u can cause just as much harm modding or using the wrong ECU as you can every other way imaginable to deteriorate a motor. if you dont know how to properly mod and tune your motor then u shouldntLast edited by xkjnboix; 12-20-2009, 12:36 AM.Comment

You guys are all asking the wrong question. He says the car is auto, but I'm afraid some (most) of you are thinking that the car has a manual trans. The OP isn't very clear.
What trans is in the car? Manual or automatic?
If the car is automatic, then someone up there was correct- you'll just need the automatic TCU

Ahhhhh, I see. That makes sense. Glad I learned something. And in the OP's first post, he says his car is an auto, and he's using a 5 speed ecu.91 ex auto-sold!Originally posted by nine_deuceWhat I'd do is this: spray brake fluid in her eyes, shoot her with a nail gun, while she's down, give her a "chili dog" or a "strawberry shortcake" a "rusty fish hook is always fun"

Yes, I read that same sentence you did.Originally posted by Lawman_745 View Post
My point is that the CAR can be auto (so it already has the auto TCU and associated wiring harness in it) but the transmission is a manual trans. I would assume that he meant exactly what you said, but I thought it more prudent to make sure first before offering advice.Comment
