hey guys, wondering if anyone knows much about a Spoon ECU from a EK9, as in what gains it would have and what cars it can be used in.

thanks.

I think he is talking about the whole ecu from spoon.

Rev limit is increased to 9100rpm, VTEC is at 5300-5600rpm. Fuel and ignition maps have been changed too, as to give you a good circuit tune.

Never used one but I would be guessing midrange would be increased, but max kw wouldn't be all that different.

I would guess that it would fit a EK4 too, may not be the best tune coz of the difference in engine internals though.

i cant see it being any good unless you have a SpooM built engine

i thought maybe the apexi power fc would be better option for the b16b.

Yeah i agree with you, since it is not a reprogrammable ecu

you see that's the thing about Spoon ECU's, they are tuned OEM ECU's, that is tuned for jap-spec cars running on jap-petrol.
would it be worth getting one? btw, i'm talking about the whole ECU

would it work properly in EK4?

900Aud for a 2nd hand...

i have dyno tuned a stock ITR ECU vs Spoon ECU on my ITR and gained 1kw - however this varied across ITR models - however the A/F was significantly different and also the power curve was much smoother and more linear than with the stock ecu.

This is in a stock ITR. Don't know what i have done with the printouts so you are just going to have to take my word for it.

Butt dyno - improved mid-range and slight increase in top end... i always believed my R revved to 9000rpm on stock ecu anyways, so the extra 100rpm was insignificant. For N1 endurance circuit work (which is what this ecu was built for and not max power) it fares as it should and the price tag is representative of the research done.

hmm.. interesting.. i wasn't expecting kw gains for anything, just more smoother power delivery.

i know someone selling a spoon ECU for a B18 engine only

think it was about 800

Question has been answered, post it in the Marketplace if you want to sell it
