Re: stock itr ecu in gsr? (b18cu)

the following is "i'll try to help but not sure" information:

it should work, although its programmed for itr cams, i thought it might need a harness due to different wiring in 00 models..

Re: stock itr ecu in gsr? (b18cu)

the only problem is since the gsr manifolds has secondaries they will not work .

Re: stock itr ecu in gsr? (vtec.dc2)

it may not work the 00-01 obd2 gen2 ecu have an embolieizer so your 98 GSR might not be able to use it,also you had better have a free flowing manifold (i.e. skunk2 or a JG)because the itr ecu will not open your secondaries makeing your car run like ***,your best bet if you have a diffrent manifold would be to find a 97-98 ITR ecu.

Haha, well if I put an ITR part in my car it means it will make it go faster.

Reminds me of that Carfax commercial, "people do strange things to their cars"

A friend of mine has one in his gsr. You will need a jumper harness to get it to work.

I cant remember which years, but you are sort of correct. Some years it will stay open all the time and others it will stay closed. I believe it was the way IAB solenoid was hooked up.

No. I've tried and no luck. The emmobilizer owns you, and you'll go no-where.

Wouldn't the secondaries on the GS-R stay open instead of closed? When the IAB solenoid valve is turned off that is when the butterflies are open. Since the Type R ECU has no control for the IAB solenoid I would assume it would just stay off and leave the secondaries open full time.

Always open. Youll just loose some bottom end.

Re: stock itr ecu in gsr? (nfn15037)

just wondering, did anyone notice that 98 ecu should be OBD2 ver 1 and 00 ECU should be OBD2 ver 2?

about the redline, i don't see any problem reving to 8400rpm with stock cam. i used to have a gen 2 b16a with spoon ecu, rev it to 9k rpm with stock cam everyday, and every track event for a whole year. i am happy with it, so do the guy who i sold my engine to.
