Pettit Racing in Florida did chipped ECU's. Was there any sticker on the outside of the ECU?

The fact the date is written year first and says "FD3S" makes me think it's a Japanese chipped ECU. Back then few in the US used FD or FD3S, most called it a 3rd gen. Any US shop would not have written FD3S.

The code number of the ECU itself is also a clue, if it's a JDM ecu, there ya go.

With the JDM ECU's it's really potluck as to what you get. Some may be custom-made ROMs for a customer's car, you really just don't know what the map is.

what are your mods?.. I would control boost to 10 psi until you can hook up a wide band to see what afr's you are getting at different boost levels. it may be a good map inside !! who knows?

The dating format, YY-M-D makes me think it's not US and therefore not Pettit.

But what do I know. :P


I see you're from BC - did you import this car/ECU?
