I have made my own VICS controller and im using that to control the VICS until I can get this ECU sorted out.
I havent had much of a chance to drive it but the few times I did get the chance to floor it I have noticed that it as soon as it hits 5000 rpm and opens the shorter intake you can see, feel and hear it!!
Where as the old engine ran out of puff at about 6000 rpm this one wants to keep going past 6500.
Now to get the JDM ECU figured out so I can unleash the higher rev limit, you can feel it wants to keep going.
Im slowly translating the wiring diagram, its taking me ages with the translation engines online.
I think I might end up learning to read Japanese in the process.
