Mugen ECU install
I was looking for info on the Mugen N1 ECU but my search was cut short when this site's search was disabled.
First, is it a plug and play, so to speak, ECU? Meaning, does it plug in after removing stock with no modifications? I know on the RSX it requires a wire-splice and a ground.
Second, does it drastically hurt gas mileage? I read that it runs in open-loop at all times, thus giving horrible around town gas mileage (again, on the RSX, not S2K).
Thanks for any info.

You'll do fine with 93 octane. I've been using that for about a year now without problems.
What Sam said, you will need all of the cooling mods to complement the ECU.
Your city gas mileage will decrease. I used to drive 23-24 mpg city, now 20-21 mpg city. Mpg hwy does not change.
