Re: ECU Question

You'll want to use the ECU that came with the engine, unless you decide to switch the head of course. You should also use the auto or manual ecu for what tranny you're using; or else from what I've seen with my own eyes it doesn't work well at all.

Re: ECU Question

If you have a manual trasmission and have a auto ecu, you can use it but it would have a severe loss in power with the auto ecu. I have a manual b18 ecu on ebay right no starts a ten bucks no reserve. Check it out.
