I heard these ecus have a more agressive fuel map...
Would this reduce the life of my engine?
shes done 282,000kms but had reco at 200,000. The engine is strong as...

shouldnt reduce engine life. AUs spec cars are different due to emission control mainly.

Hello Adrian,
It probably won't make a huge difference because the JDM models have a higher compression as well.
Aussie one's are relatively low compression so that will limit power somewhat.
My 2c worth !

You might notice a slight increase but you would find a better improvement if you advance the static timing by a few degrees in conjunction with installing the JDM ECU. Let us know how you get on.
