JDM P73 immobilizer removal

[Magana559]

Well I have A Problem, I Bought A JDM P73 On Ebay And I Didnt Know It Had A Immobilizer in it So now I Need To Know How To Get it Removed.


Planning On Running The P73 On My B16 Block With A 12:5:1 CR.

Here Is A Pic Of My Block.

Any Help Will Be great.


Oh Almost Forgot, Im Going To Be Running A B16 Head......Or Any Head That I Find For now.

Thanks,

David

I really need to know how to get this removed If Not I Just Lost $140.

Will A Honda Dealer help?

Very doubtful. A dealership is not even going to want to touch it...

i was told that jdm obd2b ecus dont run immobilizer's... (do you know what yours is like obd2 a or b) i know that for getting rid of usdm ecu's that have them you just use the factory honda mechanics diagnostic tool and then you can reset the ecu to use the "code" that your key and ignition is sending to the ecu.....pretty sure its even in the manual....well the factory honda manual...but how do you know if its the immobilizer, or if its even a real jdm ecu....check here to find out if you have what they told you

im pretty sure you can...when we rebuilt my buddies 01 ls teg he got a diff. ecu from a diff. car and our boy came over with some kind of scan tool and reprogrammed the ecu right there at the house....so i know it can be done

actually the only reason it wont fit is because it looks like you are running a obd2 a harness with a obd 2 B ecu here lookie here....i used this same ecu on my 96 ek and had to order a harness from rywire...actually its for sale....https://hondaswap.com/parts-sale-tr...ion-wheels-pistons-rods-ek-dc-etc-new-197283/...
shameless plug!

anyway good luck and i hope you figure it out
