3312DC

I just got my bolts in...
theyre real small. cost about 11-12 bucks a piece.

and just to clarify, it wasnt a recall in the US, just in europe/UK etc. But all the cars after mid-2002 are equiped with them.

hmmm ... it wasnt a recall, so it could be that here and in Japan they already had it changed. will check it. Thanks for the info.

3312DC can you share the part numbers? for the bolts.

I will upload pictures of the knock sensor side as well shortly.

Yesterday we removed the AC compressor, starter, oil pump, pulleys, intake manifold and all from the JDM engine, just comparing visually if any difference.

Took out the ECU from JDM Car, shape and all is as Honda ECU. But the screws were opened, the seals are not there and you can see the screws were open and one screw was quite lose, could open by hand. Could it be that is reflashed/replaced or something, how do i check????? Thats will great if the ECU is from Spoon (Wish full thinking), cos i have ordered one.

The JDM car had headers, which i sold, RSR exhaust system, racing break pads and airfreshner! When i bought it from scrap yard.

I thought thes Spoon / Mugen / J's ECU's were stock ones with a different chip inside, and that they came as a unit - rather than you adding the chip after. For that reason it seems strange that the lid has been off.

Can you take a picture of the ECU internals?

Yes, i will do that. JDM ECU comes without imobilizer.

I know what you are saying that J's/spoon/mugen are stock ECU with different chip inside and imoblilizer removed (for markets with imoblizer) thats why you get the key light flashing on cluster all the time.

But knowing all these tuning companies quite well (TODA, Spoon, J's, i deal with them lot for the tuning shop we run here). TODA always mentioned that they have lot of japanese tunings companies which are not known internationally doing ECU and other tuning locally. One very famous ECU tuning company for Honda S2000 ECU's (They sell replacement) is called Freedom ECU, the software is in Japanese and they dont have time or interest to make the software in englih.

Will upload the pic soon.

I believe the JDM ECU incorporates a speed limiter.
Can someone else confirm?

umair_k

Yes the ECU has speed limiter, which can be removed, and the ECU that came out of the scrap car is tuned, then i am sure the guy has done something about the speed limiter.
