Hi,

I have the chance to get a 4-port (European) cylinder head for cheap. Can I still use this with the JDM ECU?

Thanks,

Darian

Stupid question, but what would that involve? If it's something quick, I might be willing to do it, but if it something really involved, it's probably not worth it.

I have had JDM ECU's running my (EURO) 200sx with 4 port heads with no problems. I also had a guy read my chip from my 200sx and he said the only difference he could see on the chip from the JDM one was that the Redline was different and that the speed limit was different.

This is what he told me but I have had Mine's and HKS ECU's from Japan running my 4 port with NO issues.

You should be fine to run the 4port head on the jdm ecu. The UK guys do it all the time.
