My friend tried putting a 2001 Type R ecu in his B16A2 equipped hatch. The car cranks but does not start.

What could or should he do?

 

Does the starter turn the crank?

 

That ECU has an immobilzer in it. The car wont start.

Also, the location of the fuel pump relay wire is differnet between both ECU's.

So if the immoblizer is disabled and it still doesnt work, then that wire needs to be moved at the harness.

 

The car runs fine with the ecu that was intended for the car.

 

So how can I instruct my friend to do this?

 

check the helms.

On the 2001 ITR Ecu the Fuel Pump relay is at A15 (green/yellow) wire.

I dont know what kind of car or harness you are using, but find the fuel pump relay wire on your harness and move it to A15.

But if the immobilzer in that ECU isn't taken out, it wont work no matter what you do.

 

2 questions
1) what year is his hatch
2) WHY

 

Ahhh jes, the whys.

He got the ECU for 50 beans... who can refuse that?

He also wanted to take advantage of the greater redline.

 

It's not the ECU that decides what redline the engine is. If that were the case, every riceboy would be revving to 19k.

The engine isn't meant to rev those 400 more rpms. It can do yah.. but it's not a very good idea.

Trade that ecu for a CTR ecu.. that will work if this is a 99-00 Si w/b16.

 

why does he want a higher redline
he probably has stock cams. the stock redline is fine.

and the redline may be DETERMINED by the engine
but its the rev limiter thats set by the ecu.

 

He has US 01 R cams. He just wanted the advantage of the higher redline, and for 50 bucks, I can't blame him.

 

does the 00' ITR have imobilzer too? my friends car almost got stolen in front of his girlfriends house and i asked him if he had imobilizor and he didn't know what the hell that was... yeah the ******* couldn't start his car and tried pushing it home...hahaha


01' ITR cams and ecu...hmm sounds stolen... j/p =x
