Open ECU Rule

[Tkczecheredflag]

Same spec line? knock yourself out.

If you would be willing to part with a '98 nose in exchange for a spare '95, I'm interested. I'd like to consider using an airdam that Carpenter has for sale, but it only fits '98s. - GA

See I wasn't clear if that's okay. Your interpretation of the rules is that you could use the '98 cover?

The TEG I grabbed was a rust free '94 with an engine cooked "well done", still a good core

I have a air dam I will be trying that I grabbed from Tom K - I will see how it mates up - If it's good we can mold it assuming Tom hasn't already.

Yup, same spec line, you can swap noses. Frankly, from a realistic standpoint, nobody will probably notice anyway.

Good, please let me know.

I think TurboEdit is supposed to be pretty decent for OBD0 ECU's although I'm not sure what non-Civic engine applications are available...

TurboEdit works great however it works on OBD0. Dave's car as well as mine are running pre OBD0 ECU's and the distributor is vacuum advance so we have no timing control. When I run my car in Honda Challenge I run an adapter that allows me to run a distributo and ECU from a 91 Si but that is not legal in my understanding of the rules for IT. It would be cool if we could do that but we can't.

That's correct

Looking at ITCS page 331, D-1-a-6 and 7 - Says "the sky is the limit" for ECU mods. Yet Page 334, D-1-s says all mods must be inside the original ECU housing. Is this a "pick the one that works for you" rule or is there a mistake? Seems odd and conflicting to me. I've been chatting with folks off line and scratching our heads. Maybe someone has figured out how to get a Measquirt system inside my little ole TEG box. Enlighten me please.

I tried to cut and paste the ITCS sections referrenced but was not able to alter the PDF file. If someone could post these two sections - that would be great help in understanding the new ECU rules.

When the rules went into the GCR the old wording wasn't cleaned up in the D-1-s section. That one will disappear in some upcoming Fastrack as a correction.

Thanks Josh - very helpul. Are we sure about the printed word in Fastrack coming sooner than later?

Be aware that not all 4 round Integra headlight assemblies are the same. I forget what year was the switch but I thought it was with the bumper change. You can tell if you look closely at the a front end picture of the lights.

When going to the newer bumper you will also need the headlights. They are different.

And go with Hondata.
