Default Have a MY01 ECU on the MY04+ ?

I have a friend at work that bought a MY01 ecu. He's had it for at least 6 months and still hasn't installed it into his MY04. I'm tempted to buy it from him. Other than the guy that installed one (and tracked it immediately), anyone heard any horror stories about running the 2.2 to 8900rpm occasionally? Billman ?

Thanks

- Dan

8900 = Horror stories period

8300-8400 = Not as many horror stories

i wouldnt run that motor at that rpm. use it as a kind of rev limiter. run it out to 8200-8300 rpms. it is suppose to make the MY04s run really well.

Hell, fuel cutoff is 8200 on the MY04. I'd say that's a given. Where I work, the mechanical engineers over-engineer EVERYTHING by at least 15%. I'm just curious if anyone that's actually done this mod is now sorry.

the problem is long term reliability. some extremely knowledgeable people have posted their concerns regarding this. to be honest, the answer isn't will it fail, it's WHEN will it fail. the bottom end of the F22 isn't made to rev to 9000rpm every day. no matter how over-engineered you think it may be, the reason honda dropped the redline was because of the possibility of damage to the bottom end with 9000rpm every day driving.

That makes no sense. Why would the F22 be weaker than the F20? They just increased the stroke of the F20 to give it 150cc more displacement.

I crunched some numbers and based on something I read on a S2000 page on the Japanese Honda site. A F22 running at 9k rpms generates a higher piston velocity than a Honda F1 engine at 18k rpms. Take the stroke of the engine and calculate how far the piston travels in 1 rpm, and then do the math. I did it in MMs of piston travel per second, and the F1 3 liter V10 at 18k was the highest, and stock F20 at 9k was next lowest and a stock F22 at 8k was a little lower. An F22 reving to 9k was higher than the F1 car.

is it just me, or did you just argue against your own point in the same post that you tried to make it in???
