How can I tell what kind of ecu im running. Ive got some tags on the side, but I'm not really sure. Nothing there looks familiar.

Also what are the ecu's that I can run in a ef with a sohc zc?
And what would be the best ecu for me.
I fell like the motors not putting out as much as it should,
and ive gone over everything else. Changed, cleaned everything.
Including full tune up, all flushes were done.

ECU Part Numbers

All Honda ECUs have a part number which is located on the side of the ECU and inside the ECU on the connector. e.g. 37820-P72-A01

The part number consists of three components:

Honda's part number for ECU, which is always 37820
Three characters (which are loosely related to the model of car/engine). e.g P72
Three characters (which are the revision of the ECU) e.g. A01
The middle three characters are the most useful to identify what the ECU is. Different generation ECUs may use the same characters. e.g. a P72 OBD I ECU is different from a P72 OBD II ECU. Here is a list of common ECUs:

PG6: 88-89 Integra (all makes)
PM5: 88-91 Civic/CRX DX
PM6: 88-91 Civic/CRX SOHC Si
PM7: 89-91 DOHC ZC (JDM 'EF' ECU)
PM8: 88-91 CRX HF
PR2: 89-91 ZC (Euro)
PR3: 89-91 JDM B16A EF8/9
PR3-J00 or J51: 92 JDM Integra B16A EF8/9
PW0: 89-91 JDM B16A EF8/9 DA6-XSi
PR4: 90-91 Integra LS/GS
PS9: 88-91 4 door Civic EX Auto
P05: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic CX
P06: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic DX
P07: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic VX
P08: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic D15 JDM
P0A: 94-95 OBD-1 Accord EX
P13: 93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Vtec
P14: 93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Si (non Vtec)
P27: 92-95 OBD-1 EG JDM Civic 1600 sohc
P28: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic Si/Ex
P30: 92-95 OBD-1 DelSol DOHC Vtec Si/EG SiR
P54-G31: 1997 Honda Accord 1.8 LS
P61: 92-93 OBD-1 Integra GSR
P72: 94-95 OBD-1 Integra GSR
P72: 96-00 OBD-2 Integra GSR
P73: 96-00 OBD-2 Integra Type-R (JDM & USDM)
P74/75: 92-95 OBD-1 Integra LS/GS
P75: 96-00 OBD-2 Integra LS/GS

I was going to say, check the code/decal on the back, but this is so much more thorough :P

whats the best to use on a stock sohc zc motor. obd 0
or what about if i throw a z6 head on there. which would be obd1.
