Actually it depends on the car, so you might not need to change out the ecu.

Re: ECU Question about M/T and A/T

in most cases you would hafta switch due to slight differences in the programming for the ECU.

Re: ECU Question about M/T and A/T

i see, i found out that the A/T GSR redlines at 7500 rpm's also which is weak as hell, so thats one reason i want to change it out also. dont Si's and GSR's redline at 8200 rpm's?

Re: ECU Question about M/T and A/T

OBD1 auto to manual is cake, OBD0 is a little more involved, and often means changing programs. It's especially hard if the ECU doesn't have any provision for an external chip. What ECU is it?
