ECU question

does anyone know if an ecu from an 88-89 integra would work on an 86-87? cause from what i have found there is only one difference and that is that one is vac advance and the other is electronic advance. I dont know what the difference is and if the 87 will run with this ecu. Any insight would be useful

the zc was a totally differnet animal from the b18a.

the ecu should plug in, but will run like poop

i just need conformation that the old ecu is in fact fried

zerodaze, u mind explaining the difference between vaccuum advance and electronic advance?

vacuum advance is just that. the distributor advances timing based on a vacuum signal.

electronic advance controls timing based on the different sensor readings, and the maps in the ecu.

ok so hence the timing will be off when i plug this ecu in
