Anyone know which ECU this would have, and what a reasonable price would be ?

OBDII

Think he's selling engine/gearbox ecu etc as 1.

It will be OBDIIb i think so you need the transponder that goes with it.

[BassAddict]

By te sounds of it the OBDII ECU could be more hassle than its worth ! Just started another thread as I'm thinking of Hondata now, or Megasquirt !! Matt will be pleased !!! :D

I know of a lad with a 1.8 VTEC engine, bored slightly, ITR head, DTA ecu and box with Quafie or Cusco LSD.
He was after £2500 for that one, was putting out 230bhp with room for improvement as well!

He's still around, no one has yet taken him up onit. No idea why, but I suppose £2500 isnt pocket change. Definately worth it over an ITR swap imho.

I only paid £1500 +vat (£1762) for mine, removed and delivered inc drive shafts, radiator and what was left of the burn wires on the loom.

You don’t need the ECU or distributor if you’re using a DTA system, only a Ford coil pack.

Just received an email from him:

>>Hi Colin

I have now sold the gearbox.
I was looking to sell the complete engine with ancillaries, with loom and ecu for £1850 ono.

Is it the bare engine that you are after? I have the drive shafts.etc - feel free to make me an offer!

The only thing wrong with mine is that the mount has broken off the engine, I will get it repaired, otherwise it has only covered 26k miles!

Front seats have now sold.<<

Any takers?

I wanted the cam cover but he wasn't having any of it!(BOO!) Understandable i suppose.

Paul,

You can buy cam covers like Pauls & mine on Ebay, expect to pay around £90 + - Mine came from the States via Ireland

I sold my slightly burnt factory cam cover for £30 recently.

Look here for cam covers mail order from the states:

Impossible performance do tenzo R ones and Mugen, in a host of colours, you can also get type R ones, but the are £150+ :(

Bill B has a crackin yellow mugen one on the CRX

[B20GT]

I recon one of those could be made up with a spare cover :D

Cheers Colin thanks for the links. I'll put it on my wish list with everything else!!
