I have a 92 EX, but a previous owner swapped in an A1. I wonder if I'll gain anything from this since I've got the A1 motor. I'll take a look at my ecu. Is pt6 what it would say if it was for the a1 or the a6? Sorry, I just read through 6 pages and I may have missed this info along the way.

If you have an F22A6, your car comes with a PT6 ECU. This unit should NOT be replaced with a P12. The P12 ECU is not capable of operating the IAB system found in the F22A6, and would likely reduce performance.Original-Owner 1991 Honda Accord

I have a 90 ex 5speed with an a4 I found a 93 prelude that has an a1 but it is automatic. I have read everything on this thread I shouldn't have any problems swapping in the p12 from an automatic into a Manuel. Or would it be better to find a Manuel p12One Day At A Time"Honda Connaisseur"1990 Accord EX Sedan Granada Black Metallic: DD1992 Accord LX Sedan Phantom Grey: SOLD1993 Accord EX Coupe Seattle Silver:FML SOLD1992 Accord DX Sedan: SOLD1993 Accord EX Sedan Arcadia Green: Stolen1999 Acura Integra LS Coupe Milano Red: DeadBought From: mndude07 h23cb7, deevergote, hondaccordgirl, keeledesign, Fatman88, JarrettSold To: Timmyotool, mndude07, Mayberry (RIP), greenbme89, DeadlyNome92

I just did this swap on my automatic, however it would have helped if I knew that the TCU is also underneath where the ECU is. There was no way the P12 would fit in there unless I unbolted the TCU as well. Luckily I did that and it worked out. Had kind of a hard time putting the metal plate back on though.
I just hope I didn't crush any wires when I installed it, it was kind of a tight squeeze. I didn't bolt the plate down all the way though for that reason.
So people beware: If you have an automatic and you put the P12 in, you're going to have to unbolt the TCU in order to make it fit. I was nervous (and kind of still am) that I may have crushed the wires on the ECU (where they go into the connector). But there was no CEL when I turned the car on so that's a good sign.
I just want some affirmation now. Do you think I damaged the wires? I mean, someone has to know the resilience of the wires and what not. Whether they tend to break or become uprooted from their connector plugs.Last edited by Mishakol129; 09-21-2012, 07:37 PM.“Speed has never killed anyone.
