a friend of mine was telling me that i can run an ecu and injectors from a 97-01 lude in my em1.
he said it will run a tiny bit rich and shouldnt cause any harm to the motor, and should make a reasonable gain for power.

is this true and safe?

 

no its not true and isnt safe.

the fuel maps are pretty similar, but the injectors are quit a bit larger, so consider running 25% more fuel, thats about where you will be.

more fuel doesnt mean more power. stab your friend with the sharpest knife you can find.

 

so what if i ran the ecu with my stock injectors? or will my stock intectors not be able to keep up?

what for??? your stock ecu is best suited for your stock car. what makes you think any other one would work better???

 

i dunno. thought id give it a shot,but do some research before trying it. he said he tried it before. ill get the whole story from him and post it up in here tomorrow.

 

adding fuel to a perfect mixture will just cause a rich condition. rich air/fuel ratio is bad for making power.

if you want to go fast start somewhere else. dont mess with the ecu.
i would run a type r ecu instead of the 97-01 prelude ecu.
H and B series are not the same motors

 

sorry i cant get ahold of him to get the facts on what he told me.


are you talking itr or ctr ecu?

 

You aren't going to see any gains from installing a stock ECU from a different car, regardless of what car that is.

this is exactly why i posted this. i didnt quite feel safe swapping the ecu and wanted some advice. thanks HT.
