well i raced my buddy w/ an 01 s2k the other day w/ my 06 Si w/ i/e/reflash n he's impressed what an improvement the reflash did for my car...his mods r aem cai n stock exhaust but made to single out let...he said next he wants to buy a test pipe n then some new ecu..he's already stated to me that he doesnt want the apexi vafc jus wants an ecu he can jus throw in their n go....i recommend the mugen ecu to him......his only concern is that will that ecu b ok bc it is his daily driver im pretty sure it is but i wanted to double check w/ some who mite know more about it...thanx help much appreciated

 

As long as he has access to 93 octane fuel there will be no problem.

 

bump anyone w/ any experience?

 

Mugen ECU?

tell him to drive better and he should out run u...

 

I ran one for a couple years. The low rpm advance makes the greater octane necessary to avoid pinging at traffic speeds. There is no ignition lockout. Overall it was a gas to have in the car and I only removed it when going with the AEM EMS. It definately gives the car some greater power.

 

Ive been running one for 5-6 years. Better acceleration and over all driveability. But you need to run 93 octane fuel, and install a mugen low temp thermostat, fan switch and radiator cap.

 

so how much did you pay for these "MUGEN" ecu's....

 

I ran one on my B16b with 92 octane fuel with no problems whatsoever.

 

he always runs 93 octane so thats not a problem...but will he b ok w/o a mugen low temp thermostat, fan switch and radiator cap?

 

he'll be ok w/o, but might as well go with the whole package

 

ok thanx man

 

I think it was around $1300

 

It needs those parts for the ECU to function properly

 

I'm sorry, but there is no way in hell the ECU "needs" a low temp fan switch and high pressure radiator cap in order to work properly.

 

this one maybe...
