      Dads latest purchase redlines at 7500 but the tacho finishes at 10000.... Limiter kicks in around 8500. Imagine a V12 at 8500. I have never heard something so beautiful.

              VR6 ecu is under the black plastic rain guard thing that sits between the windscreen and engine bay. Pull the left one off.

                        you wont regret it with that price.

                        was your ecu socketed or soldered?
                        I'm selling my VR6

                            Those clips are a multitude of expletives that I surely cannot say on this forum.. I'm looking into ECU options and I know standalone is my way to go, but seriously funds are gonna be a suckerpunch to the gonads once I get the block rebuilt and pieced back together :\ I'm hoping for a sign that I could even temporarily get away with a chipped ECU but I'm not liking my chances.

                            AHHHHH more money!

                                giac/tt/autotech and all those chips from mjmautohaus aren't compatible with any of our ECU'S here.. mjm won't even reply to me when I say i'm from australia haha. not sure about obd2 though. however, vince from stealth racing in uk can make you one for about 300 that's right for your mods. UK vr6's have the same ecu's as us.
