Default mugen ecu questions

Who stocks them and how much? My car is lightly modded now....Intake, cat-back Fuel rail, FPR and soon header and cat...isthis the way to go. Money is somewhat of an Issue...would I be better with a rechip. I plan to do Spec B's in the fall. (Can't afford HOndata)
TIA

I have a Mugen ECU I might be willing to let go in a couple months.
Probably don't want it for anything but stock cams, w/cam gears and some more compression (CTR pistons).
Probably not something you'd want for the Spec B's though.

I'm leaving work for the evening. Later
BTW -- I paid full price for the ECU.
And, someone here recently made 208 hp ...EPG.

i would go with hondata, i had a mugen ecu and with my 12.5 cr i couldnt stop knocking on 93 octane, tuning with a vafc also. It is an ecu for a lightly modded car like yours with a slight compression raise(11.5 or so). Nice ecu, but much better off going with something else for the money

The Mugen N1 ECU was designed to work <u>optimally</u> on a car with 11:1 compression (not 10.6:1 like the USDM ITR), STOCK cams, and Mugen bolt-ons. It also likes more fuel. Those that have this setup, or something similar, have had excellent results with the Mugen ECU. However, the ECU was not made for aftermarket cams or fully built motors. Those with these types of setups have had poor results. I suggest you finalize your plans for the car and then decide...if you plan on aftermarket cams, the Mugen ECU is probably a waste of your money.

Yeah, what Bob said.
I'm running it on the street in my daily driver R at the moment, but boost is only a short while away in my case.

True, Mr Mugen Man (EPG) did his 208 hp on race gas!

208 whp on STOCK cams <u>with</u> the exhaust on the car is impressive no matter what kind of gas he's running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So maybe I should do an OBD 1 conversion and get the spec B profiles put on....those are the cams I wanna do. Also Ti retainers upgraded valve springs, CTR pistons is the general direction I'm headed
