im trading my jdm p13 for a usdm p13 with a spoon program. will it work ok for me being that its a USDM ECU?

It will work, and you wont have the damn JDM speed governor on there anymore. I am interested to see what gains you get with this "Spoon" program.

thanks. Your names Tyler right. your always there with an opinion that i always need. suppose to be getting a call from the shop and we will see if they have discovered the idle problem. anyways im sending out the money today for the ECU so il let yall know if i can feel the gains since there are no dynos around here. later

No prob...

I would just be careful or "Spoon" chipped ECU's. Mae sure that it is an actual Spoon program, because nyone could reprogram an ECU and label it "Spoon" just to sell it. Make sure the guy you are buying itfrom can give you a list of specifications that go along with the ECU (like in which ways it has been modified versus stock... redline, etc...)

well its KMSluder on honda-tech. his name used to be jgluder and he had a 13 sec all motor lude. he got the ecu chipped at prospeedperformance which i hear is the best place to get one chipped anyways. but its 8500 redline with no speed gov and better fuel curve i believe. but its a copy of one of the actual spoon programs.

Todd (KMS Luder) is a solid guy, and Prospeed is a trustworthy dealer/chip guy.

I have no doubt that it is the Spoon Program, Todd wouldn't dick you around.

what is the speed governor set to for a US 5th gen?

LudedudeSi · 03-04-2003, 07:56 PM

3 MPH! J/K i dont think they have one. just the jdm p13 that has it.

red92si · 03-04-2003, 10:59 PM

USDM ECU will cut fuel at around 135-140mph. JDM ECU will cut fuel at 180kph, around 120mph.

UDSM has no governor on speed. It's just when you redline in 5th you get an rpm cut
