I can't say for sure, but in all honesty, I don't see how it could be any different.

I'm sure it'll work just fine.

Mugen ECU have a note on saying the ECU can't be reprogram and the RSM can take off the speed cut so would that be concider as Reprogaming

As far as I know the S2000 has no speed limiter. So even if it could, how can it eliminate something that already isn't there?

Also, Mugen might mean you literally can't reprogram their ECU because its been locked out.

Its fine to use. The rev speed meter will not hurt the mugen ecu, or any ecu.....

I have RSM in my stock S2k. RSM has two ways to connect, one for disable the speed limiter and one is not.

BTW, I don't think there is speed limiter for S2k too (except JDM).

as far as I concern the S2000 doesnt have a speed limiter

and RSM doesnt change the rev limiter/VTEC engage pt, its just a Rev and Speed Meter, plain and simple

Mugen ECU wont be effected by the RSM at all, there is no chance of engine damage

Ok to clarify, S2000s in Japan do have a speed limiter. Not sure of the exact speed but there is one to limit them. That's why Amuse also sells a SLD (Speed Limiter Defenser).
