Use the search. "zero sports" is a pretty easy search string. As for what you've been told, it means diddly squat. 350bhp at 1.4 bar on what type of engine? Turbo? Fuel?

This company is Japanese, and their maps are thus designed for 100 octane fuel. At least one user has blown an engine on a Zero Sports ECU in the last few months, so if you're at all concerned about the health of your engine, and don't know the providence or technical details of this ECU, steer well clear.

The ecu came from a 96 STI V2 running with a uprated pump and regulator (now has GEMS installed) He ran with no problems,apart from blowing a hole in his std headers, on optimax for over a year I run my STI on opti+n f The query is to find out about the company if poss.......maybe a jap website or tuning guides How did the car ,with the Z S Ecu, blow...........cheers

IMO, I wouldn't touch it. It will be set up for 100ron fuel, and whilst the last guy got away with it, maybe (blowing a hole in the headers ?) it's not worth the risk.

Personally, I'd email Pat, who can remap the '96 ecu's, and see what he can do for you.

Mark.
