Fitting a P28 ECU into stock location in CRX
How did the rest of you guys who put the p28 into your crx mount it to the stock location? My p28's mounting tabs are not the right length apart to mount it where my PM5 came out of.
Any tips/help on how to mount the new ecu would be appreciated... going to have this thing running by next saturday.

Thats a good idea, I just had to dent a lil bump on the non wire side, fit decent.

is it safe to dent the ecu? it looks like it is about a half inch to one inch to far over on the left side hitting a bulge in the firewall. also the bolts dont match up either is this normal?

LOL didnt think of it that way... I was sitting here trying to figure out how to dent the ecu itself without damaging the pcb board inside of it... LOL
ok so it's normal for the ecu not to match up then.... thanks. Thats all I needed to know.

Re: Fitting a P28 ECU into stock location in CRX (thumbtack)
I am looking at the two ECU and there I really do not think it's a good idea to take the guts of the p28 and put it into the CRX ecu. The do not fit properly. Just look at the plug location man.
Right next to the plugs there is a transister and how will you mount that correctly??
Just find a way to mount it in the stock CRX location. I will see how I will do this so Post pics later.
