Will a 420a ECU from a '96 work in '95 Shell?
I'm looking into buying '95 Eagle Talon shell, but the motor I plan on swapping into it is from a '96.
I'm aware the '95 420a DSMs have a different ECU's than the ones from '96 down. But what I need to know is can I use the ECU from the '96 in the '95 shell? Would I have to swap out the harness as well? Is the harness a direct swap? I just don't want to use the ECU from the '95 because they're known for having problems, at least the ones I've encountered have been junk.

Re: Will a 420a ECU from a '96 work in '95 Shell?
The harness is different as well. 95s are a single piece and the 96+ are 2 piece connectors. Best way would be to just replace the whole harness. The coilpack connector will be different, going from the round to the flat pin. Bu I believe that's the only other difference.

You mean replace the 95 harness with the 96 harness? How easy is that to do?

Shouldn't be too hard. I never had any problems with the 95 ECU personally, and never really heard of anyone else having problems with them. They're cheap enough to replace anyways. I would just keep that in there.
