OBD2a or OBD2b?

Whats goin on fellas.... I got my VAFC2 and I need to get the PnP harness that plugs into the ECU that way I dont have to solder into it.

The site where I can get them has an array of harness but I need to know if I need OBD2a or OBD2b. Here's the site below, check it out and let me know which one I need to get.

They guy got back to me and told me that the manufacturer couldn't tell.... I also called around to some auto parts stores and noone knows.

So can anyone tell me if we have an OBD2a or OBD2b?

That's hard to figure, but here is a website that's speaks on it. This site has a lot of interesting information on Honda ECU's, but mostly concentrate on the 4 cylnder stuff. They do speak of the a and b ecu, but associate it with the smaller honda motors. They do have readers for the ecu's and it's quite possible that our ecu could be hacked as the other have. Explore this website, there's a lot to it.

This website is the company that makes our ecu's and other OEM parts. Somewhat interesting, don't expect to get anything out of them as they only answer to the auto makers.
