dc5r ecu compatible and plug&play witha dc5s

[r3ckless]

I have a Type S. Was wondering if a Type R's ecu is a plug and paly with my type s with no drama's at all?

Nope. Hence why Kpro needs a conversion harness, because it is a specially modified 02-04 ECU. If you modified the wiring and got an 02-04 ECU to plug in and the car somehow started, which it wouldn't, then it would throw a heap of codes because the VSS and primary 02 sensor are different. And possibly other sensors.

Hmm, u reckon if i obtain the 05-06 harness and change the priamry o2 sensor to dc5r.. it cna work>

Jsut get the conversion harness, why risk headaches splicing and modifying wires and causing more dramas ?

Probably best to do a search on clubRSXx to see if anyone has got an 05-06 to run using an unmodified 02-04 ecu. I am not sure whether such a thing is possible. I doubt a stock 02-04 ECU will run an 05-06 though, and at the very least your speedometer won't work. Why so keen on an 02-04 ECU? Anyone selling the 05-06 Kpro conversion harness most likely has an 05-06 kpro too and they are unlikely to separate.

kinda considering the mugen n1..... but yeah... no lcience so jsutbored at work hehe.
