Any Recommendations???

I'm looking to get a local 98-2000 SI engine/ecu with low km's.
I'm going to get it put in my 97EX. Can anyone recommend a reputable source to buy it from?

Thanks

don't waste your money getting the ECU, it won't plug into your obd2a engine harness. You need an obd2a (96-98) SI ECU.

ok, just the way you were saying Si engine and ECU into an EX... sounded like you wanted a B16A2 to replace your D16Y8. An EX in the US is and Si here, and an Si in the US is an SiR here.

OK so you want a stock replacement engine for your car basically. EX and Si has the same engine, so you'd want just any D16Y8, no need for a new ECU.
