Re: ECU SWap
has to be 04-05,
non-vtec same as your engine,
and manual trans same as your trans
and it has to be programmed (immobilizer) before the engine will run, or you have to get the matching immobi system and steering lock and keys from the donor car.
Make sure all your wiring is fixed so you don't burn up another control unit.

I did not look to see if there are more differences between California emissions and the other choices, either.
Your local salvage yards part interchange books may have more info.
