Or keep your eyes on teh For Sale section here. That's how most of the guys here managed to get theirs.

how hard is it to do the ecu swap? (mp3)

 

[mx-p5]

very easy.

It's under the passengerside floor just below glovebox .

Remove clips that hold in the cars plastics, pull up carpet, and remove bolts

I did the swap over my half hour lunch

 

[frank354]

isnt there something you have to take out of the intake manifold, vics or somthing?

 

[mx-p5]

You don't HAVE to, but it isn't a bad idea.

Myself and another member are running MP3 ecu's without removing anything.

 

[frank354]

any noticeable gains?

 

[stdntDrvr]

you won't notice much...but it does smooth things out a bit...and the car feels like it has a little more 'pep.'

 

[eszoom]

i know from reading the threads that you're supposed to run 91 octane , but some guys said 89 is ok too. your thoughts on the matter. (just in case gas goes up again)

 

[Captain KRM P5]

you need to run premium gas on the mp3 ecu to eliminate all knock.

Could mp3 ecu work in my e-spec p5?
I'm just thinking that would it be worth the trouble..

 

[stdntDrvr]

no clue. do you guys run the fs-de or another engine?

 

[Maikel]

Jep. Going with FS-DE, only 131hp.
Been readin TheMan's faq, and EDM and US-engines have little difference, cams, if i remember right. But I'm wondering about the electric side, and maybe little also aobd-test..
