NY What ecu is this???? Ksrom

I bought this ecu and got it cheap but have no idea what brand/ what the chip is knight sports maybe? It has a switch on it and it doesn't allow it to be opened far enought to see well inside. But the chip does look to be re soldered also the switch goes between the pin out on the chip and the solder point in the circuit bored the third wire goes to a second smaller chip. It has a sticker that says KS-ROM and a sticker with lots of Japanese writing...don't have pictures till I get home

If you try the Knight Sports website,it should have Numbers that correspond to the Chip inside to give you an idea of what mods are required to run that Ecu.

Isn't a Knight Sports ecu still going to be an N374 or whatever the JDM equivalent of a S4 JDM ECU? Meaning you are still going to have all the issues discussed in other threads about trying to run a JDM ECU with USDM wiring?

More detailed pictures of the ecu would be really helpful, if it a s4 ECU then only a car equipped with a RHD S4 harness would be able to use this with no trouble, I would fall into that category. I'm either going to try and source a s4 modified JDM/EDM ecu or modify a US s4 wire harness so I can use a Rtek or something similar

Mitsubishi is a huge company made from hundreds of smaller companies that makes everything from electronic components, tv's, heavy equipment as well as cars. They even have life insurance and a brewery. Lol

Don't jump to conclusions with that logo just yet!

Ok, i think i should reply to this cuz no one seem to know.

KSrom does the kind of update which improves the mpg of the car, yep, mpg. They also claim that their power level is somewhat above stock(better respond)

Ksrom does a lot of roms for different cars. They have been around forever.
