standard jdm type r computer

[jdmTYPE R]

i have a friend that is selling his type r computer just wonder if i can plug that into my vtir and would it make a power difference????

[ECU-MAN]

your Vtir wont have the hardware to make use of the ing and fuel maps of the JDM ECU, is the JDM ECU OBDII or I ,and what year is your VTiR

[ATSE]

Yeh it would make a difference... you'll lose power. What ECU-MAN said... two different engines with different characteristics.

[JSL]

And VTIR have a 2 stage intake manifold.. and the ECU can't cope with that..

[Civic Type R]

[IRI]

What if you put it on a AUDM Type R?

Sorry, something to add, if you REALLY REALLY wanna use that JDM ecu, you have 3 alternatives

1. Block the 2nd runner valve, it will make the 2nd runner open all the way, you will gain approx 4-5ps on wheel after tune, not sure about jdm ecu, should be fine

2. Skunk2 manifold, but acutally for stock engine, vti-r have better mid range torque than Type-r

3. get B16 head or type-r head, do engine work, my way of poor man's type-r
