I just recently switched the engine in my 92 prelude from an H23 to an H22A VTEC. when i drive it now it goes thru oil fairly fast. it still has the H23 ECU. i know i need to get a new ECU for the new engine. is that the problem? or if u know what it is please help me!!

The piston rings might be worn out. Or your just drivin around in vtec constantly burning it all up.

Common leak spots are the vtec solenoid o-ring/ filter drys up and becomes brittle with age, Oil pan gasket, Oil Cooler O-Ring. First go and buy 3 cans of engine degreaser from Wal-mart. Spray down the whole engine, Including the back of the engine. Then you can better determine where the leak is. If your not sure, it's a good idea to get new gaskets from honda oem. New Oil pan gasket, New vtec solenoid o-ring seal, Oil Cooler O-ring, Distributer o-ring. Replace all of them and clean the engine spotless. Then check, I replaced all of those on my car. Now it doesn't leak or burn a single drop of oil. The engine runs smoother now. I've always used Supertech full synthetic 10w30, and the supertech 3593a oil filter.
