Default Mines ECU - where to purchase? (did search)

Since I decided to leave my replacement engine stock, I`m looking for an aftermarket ECU. A while ago somebody recommended "Mines".

Does somebody know numbers and where to purchase ?

I know their website http://www.mines-world.com but I can`t find numbers for the DC2 there...

If someone knows another ecu to choose, this is the No. of my stock ECU:
37820-P73-G01 / 1117-101787 CHW
I want a redline not higher than 9100rpm.

What do you expect from an stock engine with aftermarket ECU? 3whp? ...just currios since you know it better that aftermarket ECUs on stock engines gives nothing which is worth to spend money on.

What's your setup? What do you want to run? I can convert and re-program ECUs for different applications. OBD0-OBD1.

I need a higher redline for example.

I tested a spoon ECU on a stock R last year and the difference was HUGE to the stock ECU. But spoon`s redline is too high (9500).

Okay, this is what it`s at:
On my favourite track there are some curves with shorter straights between. I need some raised rev limit to stay in 3rd in a few situations... With stock redline I only have two options:

1) shifting to 4th for 0,5sec
2) lifting acc.pedal too

So the main idea is a redline of 9000 or 9100 and an optimized f/a ratio and ignition timing of course... Vtec crossover doesn`t matter, I`m at 8k+ all the time.

IMO you should shift to 4th instead of winding the **** out of your engine in 3rd. Unless you race your car, spending that much money (ECU now, engine maitenance later) on convenience is not worth it.

The Ecu I have is for the 97-99 North American ITR. Straight plug and play. RPM is limited to 9200 and the VTEC cross over is at 5200rpm. Idles great at 900rpm.

Then you don't have a Mugen ECU. Mugen ECU revlimiter is 9100 and VTEC crossover is 4700 RPM.

Well, I need more a JDM specific software. This is all the info you need:

My car:
1998 ITR euro (JDM spec). The longblock is a 1996 JDM spec (replacement engine).
Motor is stock, compression is JDM,
Our fuel is shell-optimax (99octane).
Relevant mods:
Comptech Icebox, 72mm throttle-body, JDM 4-1 header, 100cell racecat, 63,5mm stainless steel catback.
