My redtop came with an E5 ECU.

dont redtops only use the 62 ECU? maybe you have a blacktop with a red valve cover. look for the heat sink fins on the deck of the head.

J4 is the TYPE X ECU. E5 is primarilly 94-96 180sx blacktops.

Is your Power FC numbered #414-N017 ? Give me a call.

red tops came with fins too

i believe it was the 93+ ones

i know mine does and it's def not a black top

P.S. there is no TYPE-X blacktop, TYPE-X is the body style of the 180sx, it's simply the kouki 180sx blacktop

Those redtops where rare. They only made so many before they switched to blacktop production.
