Hi Culebra, i have a N3B7-18-881A but on side sticker is N3B8 and N3B8A, car is a '92 EU FD.
Eprom is a 27C256.
I could be interested in pettit ecu file too, but the best thing for me would be to have the original file.

The Petit ECU (not sure if it was the Unlimited) has a daughterboard installed to intercept certain signals. A shop owner I know who does a lot of work on Hondas (Honda guys chip their factory ECU all the time) pulled a Petit ECU apart and dumped the binary after noticing the daughterboard. He said the daughterboard configuration was unusual. You can't just reflash the stock EPROM and expect it to work the way Petit intended.

You would want to use a 93 non-Cali based Pettit ECU or a 95 Pettit ECU. The difference is the EGR which has an electrical component on on the 93 California based cars and all the 94 US cars which the ECU for those years/models will look for... It doesn't hurt performance, but it's annoying to have that code being thrown. However, depending on your car, it probably doesn't have a Check Engine Light to begin with so it wouldn't be that annoying.
