JDM ECU...HP Increase?

I have in my possession a JDM SVX ECU (and TCU), anyone know if it would give any gains in HP or Torque, when plugged into a USD SVX?

I don't believe so Huck. The main difference is that the JDM won't look for anything related to the EGR since JDM motors didn't have them.

A XT buddy Down under bought a JDM clip, I got a few things from him before he scrapped it.

I was hoping for a more definite than "I don't believe so"...anybody know for sure?
Thought I might drop it into FrankenWedge(which is currently running a 95 US-ECU...)

I may throw it in to see if I can "Feel" any difference...I don't figure it can hurt any.

I'll trade you a stage 1av1 for them. That will make your car faster.

Re: JDM ECU...HP Increase?

Well, if it helps I have a JDM SVX, which I run on 'Tesco 99'. It appears to be significantly quicker than the wife's 3.0 A4 Quattro. Both have similar weights and claimed bhp. Audi brakes, however, are awesome.... sorry guys.

My brembo brake kit would fix the Svx braking for you....
