Well it turns out that if i dont replace my ECU then I will be stuck with revving no higher then 5200 rpms in every gear. Thats just not an option to me anyway. So i need some suggestions on ECU's. I'm willing to high price for a JWT, but i would really be happy if i could get away with an ECU for cheaper. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks.

I think what my brother is asking is are there any special requirements for swapping in a used ECU? (aside from being from an S14) i.e. Does he need to find one with his particular options? (ABS, cruise control, power everything and so on) I know the ABS has its own computer, but does it also use the ECU in some way? He has since found a used one from a '95 that is near us for $150. Will this suffice?
