Hey I recently had a ZC installed and I got a hold of a 88 Integra ECU. My question is how exactly do I go about installing it? Do I need to unplug the battery or anything or is it just a straight removal and installation?

you *should* unplug the battery for 15 minutes before you do anything electrical, but in 90% of cases it is probably not necessary.

Unplug the battery, remove the old one, install the new one.

You don't need to unplug it for 15 mins... nothing in your ecu will hold a charge for more than 10secs.
