i was actually looking into this topic..
it seems like getting a standalone ecu would be the better bet if ur planing to go turbo ot sc.
and if ur gonig to stay na a piggyback would do just fine.
i think, correct me if im wrong.

My Daily S2k is an 01 (with 01 ECU) with an F22 engine, great combo IMO

how hard was the install? hows the driving compared with a 02-03 ecu

There was no install. He has an 01. If you’re talking about the f22 swap then that’s an entirely different topic.

There is no perceivable difference between the two ecu other then some slight added responsiveness reported with the 02-03 ecu in closed loop, but once you run it on an f22 any comparison is void. Talking form experience, there is no difference running an ap1 ecu on an f22 vs an ap2 ecu, other then the extended rev limit. Driving impressions are identical to stock otherwise. It’s pretty cool actually.

haha i actually missed the fact that he has a 01.

ive been reading and people say its better to run a 00-01 ecu with a f22 appose from a 02-03 ecu

Well thats proving not to be as true as people thought. My 03 ecu was rich as hell for my F22c

Its just a theory, a sound one, but one none the less. Reason being as stated earlier, the F22 consumes more fuel then the f20, and the 00-01 ecu runs richer then the 02-03, but all this fuss is based on the assumption that the 02-03 ecu runs leaner then the 04-05 ecu open loop map, which isn't founded. As I mentioned previously, if your running a bolt on f22 that may need more fuel as a result and you are running it on an 02-03 car, then get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator to dial up the fuel pressure a bit so your car runs optimum afr in open loop. closed loop the ecu will self adjust to the f22 as well as any higher fuel pressure, so that's not an issue. So basically, no matter what ecu rout you take, you can deliver the fuel you need for a bolt on f22 and stock injectors. No engine management needed or warranted to run properly.

I have a 04' f22 in my 02 with intake and test pipe, i was running lean. Switched to a 00-01 ecu and Its running on point.

s2000Junky

Not surprising. You didn’t think about using an adjustable fuel pressure regulator instead I guess? Any headaches/corks with calibrating/running the different ecu?

Boostedtaco

I did, but i was lazy. No issues or anything. I did the ecu swap at the honda dealership, and a few weeks later drove out to LA for the S2k Homecoming. about a 3k+ round trip.
