yes doesnt matter what ECU u use as long as its a VTEC but with out the right one it will run like crap

it does matter.... the fuel maps will be WAY off and the timing maps as well... your risking melting a piston if you run that ecu.... not to mention i think the H22 had secondary butterflies and the ECU youre using (Im assuming its either a P28 or P72) might not have the board built in for it, so they wont work. (Unless its a P72, then they'll work)

H22A peak & hold injectors on a saturated compatible ecu :thumbsdow

you can do some serious damage without even knowing it..... so use it at your own risk
