A member of the mr2 forums has a mines ecu for a 93-95 3sgte for sale and I am seriously considering it.
My engine is of that same year (as well as its from an mr2!) and the ecu from what we've learnt is tuned for a stock engine, turbo and injectors with minor mods like intake, exhuast etc.
Since I'm auto-crossing the car and my current engine and ecu are JDM, I would love to take advantage of the higher rev limiter (8000rpm), unlocked high boost a/f maps and best of all, no speed cut! Plus, the ecu looks deceptively stock and as such, I will not be penalized for aftermarket engine management as is my alternative.
Do you all think this is a good buy for $550? Would it help my engine make power over a wider powerband? I am also gonna be changing my piston rings, valve springs (gen3), MHG, mild port and polish to the head, polish and balance the crankshaft and portmatch the ct26 & exhaust manifold.
I'm not big on making crazy power but more focused on building a well-handling, daily driven GT-FOUR.
Thanks for your input.
