A Mugen or Spoon ECU should work as neither of these have an immobiliser.

I have the spoon ECU.

With the spoon ECU you basically ground the pump so it starts on UK car maybe the same could be applied for the stock UK ECU???

Pin 17 IIRC

I have a spoon ECU mate and it doesnt work with the UK immobiliser so i had to run a wire to ground its a known workout around with the Spoon ECU.

I cant gaurantee this will work, so i take no responsibilty if it f**ks up, but cant see it though as your is a JDM ECU and i believe it doesnt have an imboilsier like my spoon ECU.

Let me know how you get on.
