b20z2 swap questions

Im posting this in the motor section because i no longer own a da. I now own an ek civic and i just cant seem to find another Honda or Civic forum i like. Im removing the b20/b16 from the bay in favor of a good old ls b20, ima ls guy. The questions i have concern the ecu and such.

I intend to purchase a b20z2,but im am not sure which ecu i will need for the swap. Im sure a jumper will be needed, but i am unsure of that aswell. The ex harness was used for the current swap and as far as i know i will need a jumper for the harness in the least.

I would hope you guys would show a Civic owner some love and fill me in where im missing. Ive ben a member of this forum for a few years now and i would like to stay. My swap has already begun so ill be in this thread with questions through out the time it takes. thanks in advance.

You can run an ls ecu, but it will have rich and lean spots. I just ordered a chipped p28 from phearable.net with a b20 basemap. It will run it a little better but you honestly have to get a dyno tune for it to run perfect.

Would you mind telling me how much you paid for it?

If at all possible, I need to find someone that can make me a "tuck" harness for less then chase bays or rywire.

Got my ecu in and installed. It definatly makes the motor run much smoother. It has a smoother powerband and pulls hard all the way up to redline. No more rich exhaust smell and seems to get better gas milage so its definatly better than tryin to run a stock pr4 or p75 and adjusting the fuel pressure.
