Default S2000 ecu in a RSX Type S

i had heard a rumor that a s2000 ecm will plug into a rsx type s......can anyone verify???

since they are both 2.0 liters......are there any advantages to that?? optimal fuel mapping for instance???

rumor has it thet it does plug in and with a i/h/e combo produces high HP gains.....

I highly doubt that it would be a "plug and play" deal..
Keep in mind that that would also raise the revlimiter past safe levels for a stock RSX motor.

The S2000 engine is VTEC and the RSX TypeS is I-VTEC...The plug may fit but it won't work....

well im pretty sure it would be hard to make them work, cuz the s2ooo is vtec and the rsx-s is ivtec, it might work, but then again., it might just mess everything up. my crew member has a s2ooo. i'll look at them both and see whats up. if it works then hell yea. but first i will check into them both. that would be sick to see a rsx-s with a spoon s2ooo ecu, hahaha. all i can say it rev to 11ooo!!!!!!

If you believe that is the ECU that limit an engine to spin up to 11,000rpm...What can I say, why stop at 11,000, it is just a chip, go to 25,000 rpm...

Just let me know the results!!!

9k on stock H22 rods? Thats just asking for trouble. The rod ratio is pretty bad for high revs.

I assume they have same plugs but for sure they run different programs so don't bother.
