Installed the later model ECU just before....
Plugged it in.... connected the battery up......turn the key to on.....no problem there.....turned the key.....VROOOOM!
It works
Drove it around for about an hour, no problems.
Throttle response is better and u can fell that extra 20bhp there too, my head gets pushed back a lot harder than before
Now me thinks that the ECU from the manual VR4 is the same as the later models auto ECU INSERT INTO post VALUES ( i plugged the later model autos ECU into the manuals wiring loom to see if they would connect up which they did); they just started to put them into the autos at a later date. So if any of u guys could get together to do a test for me and get 2 cars that are of the same year or as close as, one manual and one auto and plug the manuals ECU into the auto. They must be the early models as well before the face lift.... duh
