2 more questions: ECU and bumpers

[civic44]

Hello again,

Three more questions about my ITS Civic Si build:

ECU: can I run an OBD1 ECU on an OBD2 engine if it fits in an OEM ECU housing? Can I change my redline?

Bumpers: I can't find the IT rule for bumper beams. Can I remove them if the cover and appearance remains intact? Actually, the front one is lightened and the rear one is gone. I need to know if I have to find replacements.

Windshield washer fluid reservoir: do I need to reinstall it?

Thanks again!

Hello again,

Three more questions about my ITS Civic Si build:

ECU: can I run an OBD1 ECU on an OBD2 engine if it fits in an OEM ECU housing? Can I change my redline?

Yes and yes. In fact, the "fit inside OEM housing" restriction is gone now.

Bumpers: I can't find the IT rule for bumper beams. Can I remove them if the cover and appearance remains intact? Actually, the front one is lightened and the rear one is gone. I need to know if I have to find replacements.

The reason why you can't find a rule is because there isn't one. The rules are written on the principle that "if it doesn't say you can, then you can't" and on this point, it doesn't say you can do anything to your bumpers. So, you can't. You need to find replacements.

Windshield washer fluid reservoir: do I need to reinstall it?

Same answer. Yes you do.

I don't think I can add anything to that...
