Default Integra Type R ECU

I have this guy who asked me did I want a spare ecu from a 98 Type R. I thought about it just to see how my Gsr would drive then I figured I would ask. Would it run bad . Let me know what you guys suggest.

That ecu will not provide any benefit at all. It will make your GSR run pig rich, and it will not control the Intake air butterfly system. It may potentially damage your engine.

If your looking for power and have supporting mods, have your car properly tuned with one of the many standalone systems available.

It wouldnt be that much richer until vtec, but yes the intake butterfly system will be un-operable.

if it was that simple, Honda would have done that from the factory. The stock ecu is already pretty well tuned for a stock engine.

Good looking out. I was just curious only because it would've been free.

Which raises my suspicion of theft immediately. :eh:
