Re: ECU query

Hi All,

I received the following from Phil in the UK:

"The different market ECUs are not 100% interchangable, the car will run
but unless you are lucky, you will get error codes. If you need a
replacement ECU then I would advise to try and get one from NZ,
Australia, or the UK. Maybe Europe also, I'm not sure that all the
European ones are the same though.

The JDM cars have catalyst temperature sensors, a 180kmh speed limiter,
and they don't have EGR control. The Euro/UK cars have EGR and I assume
the Aussie/NZ ones are the same. The US cars have a different sort of
EGR and an atmospheric pressure sensor. When I tried a UK ECU in my JDM
car I got an error code because of no EGR system."

Fingers crossed I am lucky!

Has anyone installed any alternative ECUs?

Cheers

John
