It really helps if you get soldering flux gel in a syringe and apply that to the joints and the de-solder . Also afterwards use electro solder tin with flux core to re-flow the joints with extra tin. The joints have to be shiny and full of tin. I was a PCB repair tech before. Still a good DIY job. :)
@@GarageBuiltHondas hi mate, i want to convert my 1990 JDM DPFI to MPFI after watching your video for that.😀. Many thanks for that video. I found PM6 ECU for the conversion but its an automatic ECU. Can i covert it to manual by this method?? Does being OBD0 or OBD1 matter?? Thanks
working on my first swap. got an auto integra ls with failed oil pump. block and head no good. just gathering as much knowledge as i can. videos like this is priceless. thank u for sharing ur knowledge and experience with us guys trying to make dreams reality.
Bro i just did my first ECU auto to manual convert for first time! And thanks to your simple instructions it was a piece of pie. Good information video. Now i think im ready for socketing and chipping. Awesome
Garage Built Hondas ... I love your channel I’m not a tuner just an owner - your channel is a big inspiration to keep my wife’s ‘99 CRV on the road no matter the depth of repair
Well, maybe you'll be happy to hear that I bought an 01 CR-V back in January! It's my new daily driver. I'll be doing the timing belt/water pump install soon and maybe other fixes to come in the future.
Garage Built Hondas haha sweet! So I did comment on replacing my wife’s timing belt with the Blue gates racing belt ... so far so good. This was my first Honda timing belt job I had a hard time getting the crank pulley off and ended up melting the lower timing cover with my torch. In the end I propped up a long extension on a floor jack and used my jack handle and fat brother to break it loose. There is an impact socket for this job that is super thick I’m curious about might buy the next go around. Also had a hard time getting the timing belt tension set right with the factory procedure and ended up pushing up on the tensioner with a screw driver. I never found a video on RUclips that was thorough in setting the belt tension or showing how much slack was in the belt after setting the tension. If your schedule allows please put up a clip of this part. And of course also put up and vids you can of work on your CRV
Curious if the auto solenoid code (19) would cause a solid check engine light? Not just a code I mean that when you turn the key to accessory the light stays lit, I’m gonna do the auto to manual conversion anyway but I got the ecu with a swap and don’t know the whole history, the car runs and drives decent at full throttle but rough at part throttle, jerks and bucks, ran the code and I have (14 and 19) ecu/iacv and the solenoids being an auto ecu, if I have too I can put in a chip and 28 pin connector but I’m just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about it, thanks for the content, makes it much easier having someone show you versus just trying to read a diagram or picture alone
For anyone that was wondering I fixed my issue by doing the auto to manual conversion, no bucking or surging, no solid CEL, cars a 2000 civic ex, b20z2 motor, gsr transmission, EM1 wiring harness with a obd1 P06 a52 ecu, everyone said the automatic ecu shouldn’t matter but I just want to put it out there that it did, idles smooth at can be now and no light, no drivability issues, thanks for the video, helped a lot
I am getting a CEL code 1 after converting my CB7 to a manual. I used a manual P13 ECU from a Prelude and did zero modifications to it. I did install a new Bosch o2 sensor during the build and not sure if its a faulty 02 sensor or what exactly is going on.
Hello this video is pretty nice but i am stuck somewhere else for my hondata +p28 setup, currently it takes the calibrations and can run the car alright but yet my IAT and ECT will send out 5 volts to the sensor but getting it back it reads 302°f on the laptop. I am tryibg to find bad circuits/capacitors/jumpers but i cant find no information about the board!
Garage Built Hondas amen to that! I can't wait. Once the ep3 is on her feet, we can roll in true Honda fashion. 😎 just in time for summer. Fingers crossed! In the meantimekeep those awesome vids coming!
Thanks, not yet. It probably won't get dyno'd again until I get it tuned. If it was cheaper I might have but it can get pricey going to the dyno often for small upgrades, although I'd love to be able to!
What exactly do those 2 resistors do? Shift the automatic transmission electronically? What would happen if a person removes both resistors and does not add the jumper? Just asking and curious to know. Thanks much n have a great day.
Those are some damn good questions, and ones that I have no idea. Considering what resistors do, I'd suggest you're probably right in the fact that it has something to do with the signals it sends/receives regarding the automatic shifting of the transmission.
My ECU has one resistor already where I'm supposed to remove and apply a straight line and the other is empty. I am still getting a code 19 on my manual transmission 94 civic ex. Any idea?
So can this be done on a d15b7 eg/ej auto ecu? im planning on auto to manual swaping soon and if i can get away using my auto ecu thats awsome. Thanks for the video.
Hi bro. I'm doing the auto to manual tranny on my 1994 Acura Integra LS.

I'm removing the rest of the bulbs off the dashboard cluster too.
Awesome information, what I'd like to know is how to have the CEL to stay off after removing the EGR system on my '90 Integra which is obd-0 original motor, transmission, and ECU, apparently the manual version of this car doesn't even have an EGR system using the exact same b18a1 motor, I've read it can be done however can't find how... Most people with these classic Integra's have either completely converted to obd-1, have a manual conversion, or leave them completely stock. Everything is long gone, including the black box on the firewall with all the vacuum lines, and the EGR port has a delete plate over it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The only way i would think of is just chipping your ecu and bypassing your egr ecu code or the other way would be swaping your pr4 ecu with a pm6 ecu jon explained on one of his videos that both ecus work fine with b18 nonvtec motors the pm6 is not programmed for egr

Problem is I can't find it and I'm stuck most people do bridge transmission solenoids etc.. but I not want to do that as is in my opinion is not safe and my feeling is not will push whole power
@@GarageBuiltHondas Hi. I could not see the resistor at the main board but there were this another small board on the upper side mention R17 & R18 is it the similar meaning as per described by your RP 17 & RP 18? Tks
Oddly enough Jon, doing ECU’s soldering in a chip or quick release (removable chip) or anything solder related to Just ECU’s I struggle with badly. Ruined an obdo b16 ECU chipping it, a obd1 h23 prelude one as well!! Had a plunger or solder suck tool, a good iron and solder and adequate lighting and killed both!! I usually pay someone else to do. Really irritating can’t get the hang of it
Garage Built Hondas my civic dosent rev above 4.5k and the fuel consuption is really bad, like 3km per litre. Mechanics have said that its all because of the auto ecu, what do you think?
Garage Built Hondas the check engine light was turned off by the previous owner, and i tried to get it on but the mechanics just said you need to get the ecu replaced first, then they'll be able to turn the check engine light, ecu work in my town is like magic, none can do it for some reason.
will this work on a 05 civic lx sedan, im buying one that is auto and i want to manual convert it, this will save me from buying a new ecu, also besides that can i tune the ecu because i also want to turbo it
@@GarageBuiltHondas so I’m doing a manual swap on mine, and I have the manual ecu but not the key paired with that ecu, would you happen to know what I could do to get the immobilizer to turn off?
What about an OBD0 PG7 ecu, anybody know the resistors to pull and bridge? Hopefully didnt actualy fry my ecu and the main relay is just bad, but i kind of want to attempt this swap anyway. I have two auto ecu's just sitting and might as well have back ups.
Garage Built Hondas I found some info on it a couple days ago on a website called PGMFI.org it works for pm6 ecu's as well as other obd0 ecu's. Pull R66, R64, R62 and bridge resistor BR3. Im thinking I fried my manual ecu somehow because I get a solid CEL, no fuel, it cranks over but I cant hear my fuel pump prime in accessory. CEL does not go away after turning key to accessory and no flashing codes. Checked all of my fuses, they are all good. Ground at thernostat housing looks fine, never touched it. But as soon as i threw the auto ecu in from the swap, fuel pump primes, she starts and runs fine. Still a solid cel after turning key to accessory but im assuming thats from the code 19 whixh is the lock up selenoid. I guess we'll see if this conversion makes that cel go away.
It really helps if you get soldering flux gel in a syringe and apply that to the joints and the de-solder . Also afterwards use electro solder tin with flux core to re-flow the joints with extra tin. The joints have to be shiny and full of tin. I was a PCB repair tech before. Still a good DIY job. :)

Unfortunately no. You'll need a manual PM6. You can't convert obd0 ecus like this.

It won't work on *obd2* ecus. 96-98 is obd2a.
@@GarageBuiltHondas ecu number is 37820P45G31 53A
how many is this obd?
From a quick search it's from an 05-11 Accord, OBD2
Like always brother. Very informative. Thanks man! Keep on keeping on!
Thanks buddy for always leaving a kind comment!
Garage Built Hondas Ofcourse man. Like I said before lol. B20V time lol since you're obd1 :)
Lol, no vtec!!
Garage Built Hondas Ahhhhh come on lol
I wanna become faster in a slow car first!
Hi I did a manual swap on my 97 accord wood this work on my ecu
Only works on obd1 ecus.
Hey was wondering if this would work on other cars?
I have no idea.
Can I do this to an automatic obd2 p75?
I don't know. It would be a different process, one that I'm not familiar with. Sorry
Can I do this to a p06 automatic ecu for my 93 eg ?
Yes
Can i use any thin piece of wire to create the bridge?
Yes
@@GarageBuiltHondas thanks man your tutorial was very helpful 💯
Hey my car lags a little after start up could it be the auto to manual conversion on the ecu or would it be something else?
No, the conversion doesn't have effect on engine performance.
Would this work with a p2p a92 ecu? I have a 96 ek coupe ex that was auto and I did a trans swap to 5 speed and still running the auto ecu
No. That's an obd2 ecu
Thank you! Now I can convert my P75 auto!
👍
Can you just Swap the Auto ECU to Manual ECU? I have one in my Garage for my D16Y7
Only on obd1 ecu's.
@@GarageBuiltHondas I have a 1996 LX
my ecu has something on the ic16 and ic15 can i just leave it there?
Yes
but what happens if you run, ecu auto in manual?
I think it does not affect or if?
It doesn't run correctly and you'll get a check engine light too.
Oddly enough Jon, doing ECU’s soldering in a chip or quick release (removable chip) or anything solder related to Just ECU’s I struggle with badly. Ruined an obdo b16 ECU chipping it, a obd1 h23 prelude one as well!! Had a plunger or solder suck tool, a good iron and solder and adequate lighting and killed both!! I usually pay someone else to do. Really irritating can’t get the hang of it
Not One get some old electronics and practice!
Jorge Carbajal, yeah your right probably should round up some old electronics and practice.
I've had good luck so far, converted 2 autos to manual with no problems! *Fingers crossed*
Jorge Carbajal thats what i do when iv done them
Is it necessary to bridge the rp18
If you do as setup in this video it'll work perfectly fine.
Garage Built Hondas my civic dosent rev above 4.5k and the fuel consuption is really bad, like 3km per litre. Mechanics have said that its all because of the auto ecu, what do you think?
Do you have a check engine light on?
Garage Built Hondas the check engine light was turned off by the previous owner, and i tried to get it on but the mechanics just said you need to get the ecu replaced first, then they'll be able to turn the check engine light, ecu work in my town is like magic, none can do it for some reason.
Is the bulb still there for the CEL? If not, get that replaced then see what codes you're throwing.
will this work on a 05 civic lx sedan, im buying one that is auto and i want to manual convert it, this will save me from buying a new ecu, also besides that can i tune the ecu because i also want to turbo it
No. That's not an obd1 equipped car.
@@GarageBuiltHondas i meant 95 sorry
Is your car obd1?
How do you know which resistor is for the transmission
because i have a lexus that needs a manual swap
Would this be the same for a 98 Honda accord?
No. That's OBD2A. I'm unsure if it's possible on those ecus.
@@GarageBuiltHondas so I’m doing a manual swap on mine, and I have the manual ecu but not the key paired with that ecu, would you happen to know what I could do to get the immobilizer to turn off?
It’s the same thing in the D17 auto to manual ????
I don't believe so since that's an obd2 ECU.
Could have just added a shorting wire across the resistors on the board bottom.
i'm new to this kind of stuff...but will this work on OBD0 ECU?
No. Only obd1.
Can you not do this with ob2b Ecu like a y8
No unfortunately
Loving those purple rims!! What are they??
I'm not sure, that was a subscribers car.
@@GarageBuiltHondas alright thank you anyways. And love the channel. Hope to see more content!
I need to do the same in a Civic 2000, ECU P2P-A92, Can you help me?
I don't know how. I've read it's not possible unless you send it off to a tuner who can. It's not simple like this I was reading.
Does this work on any obd1 ecu? And the same pins?
Yes
Nice video good information. What happened if’s is Vtec is ECU
Same!
Thanks you
You can desolder rp17 and call it good. Not sure how the rp18 mod became a thing. Been desoldering rp17 only for years
Wow, I'm going to try that on the next auto ECU I find!
billy bob what's the rp18 mod??
Edit: what's it do?
I think he meant just leaving it alone instead of modifying it, and just desolder rp17
Does it work for all Honda obd1 PCUs???
I'm not sure. But it just might.
How do convert a jdm gsr auto ecu obd1
Will this work on a POA A51 ecu from a 95 accord
I believe so. It's still obd1. You may want to read around online also to confirm.
@@GarageBuiltHondas so ive looked around some forums and youtube but cant seem to find much on the subject
Pull open the ecu and have a look at the resistors, see if they are the same as the ones in my video.
@@GarageBuiltHondas thanks ill give it a try, just need to get one from pick u part
👍
What about an OBD0 PG7 ecu, anybody know the resistors to pull and bridge? Hopefully didnt actualy fry my ecu and the main relay is just bad, but i kind of want to attempt this swap anyway. I have two auto ecu's just sitting and might as well have back ups.
I don't know how to do obd0 ECU's and there's not much solid info online either.
Garage Built Hondas I found some info on it a couple days ago on a website called PGMFI.org it works for pm6 ecu's as well as other obd0 ecu's. Pull R66, R64, R62 and bridge resistor BR3. Im thinking I fried my manual ecu somehow because I get a solid CEL, no fuel, it cranks over but I cant hear my fuel pump prime in accessory. CEL does not go away after turning key to accessory and no flashing codes. Checked all of my fuses, they are all good. Ground at thernostat housing looks fine, never touched it. But as soon as i threw the auto ecu in from the swap, fuel pump primes, she starts and runs fine. Still a solid cel after turning key to accessory but im assuming thats from the code 19 whixh is the lock up selenoid. I guess we'll see if this conversion makes that cel go away.
Next time I get an obd0 auto I'll try the above mentioned to see if I can get it to work.
so why pull out the resistor if you just rebridge it?????
The bridge offers less resistance but theres still signal
Is any honda series the same?
Obd1 ones are.
I haven’t taken my ecu out but are the oem? On the dseries?
Can someone tell me what the wire is called
Which wire?
This is the same for the p06 ecu??
Yes
And what is that for, what is the function?
To work properly in a manually equipped car.
@@GarageBuiltHondas what could go wrong? I just did my conversion
I don't get what you're asking.
