Default What is this "JS Racing" box wired into the ECU?

Guys, after managing to fry my ECU a few months back, which caused a constant CEL, I've just been replacing my ECU.

Only i noticed there is this black box with JS Racing written on it, which obviously is not stock.
It is wired into the ECU plugs.

Does anyone know what this is?





It is a 2001 JDM car if it makes any difference.

Thanks

Most likely a speed limit remover box. I think the JDM cars gauges will only display 180kph from the factory for some reason.

You can also find used Flux Capacitors that will plug right in. Search for old DeLorean FC models.

The green wire goes to a white wire. Is it a solid white wire, or a white wire with a tracer color?
