[Cb7xChun]

its the pt2 ecu, but from what i read on here-its rare, but there are alternatives. just gotta do more research.

So whats the gas mileage like on this motor?

[Cb7xChun]

i haven't keep account of it yet. car was out of commission for about 2 weeks. so i just started driving it again, will get back the gas mileage question soon.

I don't understand how you "break in" a motor that has over 30,000 miles on it already.

Unless you installed new rings and new bearings, there is no need for a "break in". Unless you installed a new clutch.

its not so much as breaking it in, its just that im not sure how long the engine sat at the engine distributor. I'm gonna take precautions and won't get on it til i at least do my first oil change. make sure the engine is properly seated in the bay, all seals are properly lubed up, fittings and hoses are tight, etc. probably change my oil after 1500 miles, and 3k from there on. i don't see any harm in being careful with such a big investment, but i will get numbers back as soon as i can.

Good mentality to have great job on the swap

I'm still running the f22a1 ecu, so i feel that it still has a lot of potential. As is the powerband is good from mid-range on up. Haven't been able to push it yet, still breaking in the engine. I'm probably looking to get another ecu properly tuned for the f20.

Try a H23 ECU, it's very similar to the f20- both DOHC non-vtech. It shold work well, but before you buy one, see if you can borrow one from some1 to see how it does. I've even used it on my h22 for a couple days 'till my Skunk2 p13 came in.

Does it plug rite in?

[d112crzy]

Any OBD1 ecu will plug right in to your harness.

Will it run without modification? Nope.

You need to wire a knock sensor.
