Unhappy H22 ECU manual to auto conversion?

Hey this is the first time using a forum so I hope I'm in the right place. I just bought a H22 with it's ecu and I'm planning to swap it into a 1993 accord lx. The engine and ecu came out of a manual accord and I was wondering if it is even possible to convert the manual ecu to work with an automatic transmission. There are threads all over the place about auto to manual but none that I can find about manual to auto. Can anybody help?!

No it can't be done, you'll have to find an automatic ecu.

Yes, it shouldn't be too expensive to find one on ebay or a site like that.

you can use a auto p28...but it will need to be chipped and then tuned....since the p28 is from a b series engine.

And most places won't tune autos.

That's your excuse to convert to a manual trans...

Haha thanks guys. The problem is I come to a lot of dead stops on steep inclines with people right on my bumper. I'm not that great at a manual anyway. Thank you all for your help again!

How much do these shops usually charge for tuning the manual ecu to auto?
