immobilizer

What I want to know is what parts do you need from the original car to do a swap (this is in reference to the immobilizer system).
I have everything but the original key I have the ECU, and the Key tumblers. I went to both Honda and an Acura Dealership. They said to rescan it I needed Acura tumbler, because my Honda civic tumbler wont talk to the Acura RSX ECU. So I made some calls and was able to get the same tumbler units from the car my engine came out of. (There are 2 of them, one with a green plug and one with a blue)

Now that I explained all that, the heart of my question is, what is in the Key that talks to the tumbler, is there anything in the actual key, or now that I have the tumblers and the ecu from the same car can I just start it up. Or will I need to haul my car back over to the dealership to get a rescan. Also is there any way to bypass the immobilizer crap.

What is it exactly you are trying to do and why?

obdII swaps suck. they suck even harder when you have to use the immo-equiped ecu.
