I need to pick your brains on the value of a mugen ecu for a DC-2. Our ITR Rally car has been running on one for a while but the rules have now changed and we must run a stock ecu and an un modified harness, no piggy backs or anything ( which sucks ) so now we have this high $ ecu and can not use it.. Any ideas???

 

This Mugen ecu not the crap you find on e bay..

IF you can't use it resell it... Taking a loss sucks but not much you can do about that at this point

Thats a good point but for how much? I have never even seen another one.

 

does it have a little use or a lot? how's the condition?

As for year or years are unknown, the car was retired in 2000 and we brought it back out this year. The ecu looks like it just came out of the box ( which it did and we still have the box and all of that stuff ).
the owner never installed it and it just came with the whole car and spares package.
We run production class which is the slowest of them all the motor has to remain stock all the way to a paper air filter in a stock air box. the ecu was the only non stock idem.
At our last event with our stock car and a rookie driver we were 4th right in the middle of the open class ( which the sky is the limit on mods). Not bad at all... I sure am going to miss that damn thing.. The only thing i did not like is how hight the rev limiter got with it 9500 rpm is waaaayyy high for a stock motor.
Who ever buys this thing had better have some damn good springs..

 

Take a shot and place it for 200 shy of what you paid and see what comes about.

good luck

 

thanks....

 

Post a thread in the classifieds. I am sure someone will make good use of it if you can't.

 

I have one for my CTR motor. VTEC is 5300 (looks like 5500 on the stock tach) and redline is 9100 (looks like 9500 on the tach).

Beware we have a tack with a memory and piggy back to monitor all systems that 91 is a lot more like 95 90% of the time..

 

Not according to the dyno

 

Is that the new in dash heads up one?

 

Genuine Mugen ECU for DC2 ITR has 4700 RPM vtec engagement and redline is 9100 RMP.

 

I had it for awhile it worked well, but I never recouped what I paid for it.

Why? It's not like a set of brake pads. When's the last time you saw a "worn out" ecu?

 

its important because we need to know if the smell of newness is still there hehehe

Any one have some cool **** that they may want to trade for?????

 

i have one for a civic type r p/n 37820-xh3-0000-b2 mgn02090 and not many people want them cause they think the can buy a chip off ebay and it will do the samething but cheaper (idiots)

 

1G for a ****** ECU???!!!??

thats expensive...

ill b sure to get one of that lol

 

 

I sold my Mugen ECU for $600 a few months ago. Mugen no longer makes it specifically for the DC2. Don't expect to get anywhere near the orig retail price. Too many chipped ecu's out there with the same program for way less.

My buyer appreciated the genuine article but those kind of buyers are hard to find. So expect to get between $400-600 for it or a trade of some sort.

Good luck!

 

Damn thats one expensive ECU. I know many people that can create the same program for way less than $100

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the mugen ECU uses a faster board and not just a stock ecu board so having a Ebay "Mugen" program is not the same thing as the real deal. Also, anyone that has looked into the fake "Mugen" maps out there will know that it runs way too rich for anything other than extreme mods and the ignition timing is set to stock as well.
