It is entriely co-incidental that both radron and PJL's engines blew up, and that they both ran the Spoon ECU. I don't think it was ever concluded exactly what led to the engine faliure in each case.

However, I'm a sucker for coincidence so as a result I wouldn't run the Spoon myself

 

would it be ideal to install a 3rd party alarm like a clifford for insurance purposes?
are there any clifford fitters that are recommendeD?
or does anyone think spoon euro can mod my ecu to work with imibillieser?

 

I am going to stick with a VTEC controller and have it mapped and just save for a turbo or s/c!

 

how does that logic work..

because there are blown engines posted every week on UTH forum.. and 99% of the time they have honda ecu's..

feels very risky staying with honda, you should have had that mugen ecu off me

 

I know I should, but i couldn't at the time

logic is sometimes illogical

 

Nick had a good look at PJLs engine at the Institute day and concluded that the likely cause was overheating in cylinder 4 IIRC.

 

That's right.

It had all the classic signs of No.4 failure and the small end let go.

 

Spoon ECU is meant to work with other spoon bits too

and did we ever find out what causes cylinder 4 failure??

overheated.. lack of lubrication??

this car had a baffled sump.. and probably the oil jet replacement??

 

I don't think it had the baffled sump prior to the failure.
