Exclamation CRX HELP ECU Which one?? PLEASE

Hey I have a 1988 CRX DX 1.5L and Its auto and has DPFI.

Now I have everything needed to swap the auto out of there and everything needed to put a MPFI in there.. now which ECU should I use??

should I even swap the tranny from a resale point of view? is it worth more or less with 5 speed?

Thanks for the help

a CRX will always be worth more with a 5 spd tranny

Use a Civic Si ECU

true, but he's got a 1.5L, so the 90-91 may actually be a little overfueling it, no?

very good input thanks guys. Just like to get this overfueling issue sorted out..

so a 1988-91 civic SI ecu should work fine.

Thanks.

I hope everything here works out nice.

yeah, if you got all the plugs and you're handy with electrical work, everything should work out well
