hi 2001 tyepe r ecu fit on 2000 gsr whith skunk2 manifold and 8600 cutt with skunk2 stage 2 its ok ? thanks

 

i would at least get some ITR intake springs and move the GSR's intake springs to the exhaust side.

I don't think the GSR valvetrain is going to do 8600 reliably day in, day out.

 

I really don't think that 400 rpms is going to make that much of a difference, where you have to run to replace the valvetrain.

 

the type R ecu wont work unless you de activate the immobilizer.

The ECU will physically fit in the location of the GSR ECU, yes.

What for? You show no evidence to support this. While it may be a good idea, there is more to higher revs than valve springs. What is the difference in lift from the GSR springs to the junk2...I mean, Skunk2 cams?

You are correct.

 

I would upgrade the valvetrain just because of the simple fact that he is running the S2 Stage 2's personally. Plus the added stress of the extra rev's. But he can do whatever he wants. But my personal opinion would be to upgrade the valvetrain. He may not see immediate signs. But the long term effect could cause problems.

Also the 00-01 Integra wiring harnesses are the same. So the ecu is plug and play. But you will need to deactivate the immobilizer as stated above.

ok! have full valvtrain skunk2 spring and retenairs skunk2 stage2

That or bring your car to the dealership with new ecu and have your key programmed to match the ecu's immobilizer code.

 

ok thanks but what is the immobilizer???

 

Its a safety feature on all 00-01 integras. Basically there is a chip in the key. If you dont have the right chip in your key for the car. It wont start. Sort of like a kill switch on an alarm system. Just an added safety feature they put on the OBD-2B cars.

 

the device that recognizes the microchips in the keys. You wont be able to start your car with your key if you have a different ecu.

 

NO , its the other way around , you wont be able to start the car with a diff Key if you have that ECU

Neither his current ignition key, nor another ignition key will start the car with the ITR ECU installed and no provisions made for the immobilizer. Regardless, I would spend the money on a tunable setup rather than simply buying an ITR ECU, especially with the current modifications to the motor.

 

ok ok thanks alot

it actually does.

 

What if the ECU is JDM? and the integra is from the first OBD2 in 96s. Cool

 

yep, 400rpms is a lot. No, I don't have any evidence to support the need for new springs, but NEITHER DO YOU. why not go on the safe side? The ITR has those valve springs FOR A REASON. Engineers who are a hell of a lot more knowledgeable than any of us decided they were needed.

There's lots of people here with the mentality of "hey it runs fine so why don't you go ahead and do it" This applies to anything from turbos to NA setups. Long term effects like crank journals and bearings take time to become apparent. Sure, something may "work" but that doesn't mean it'll achieve a long term reliability target. How many have run 60K miles with a JRSC? I know of a lot whose engines lose compression or just blow up.

On moving the redline up 4000rpm...the crank isn't as balanced, the rods are not matched, and the valve springs are not up to snuff. It may work at 8600 for a while but eventually it will likely break.
