280bhp at the wheels
that ecu unmodified produces 208bhp at the flywheel.Just looked at the advert address and it's just down the road from me.
Just looked at his other for sale and he says the car produced 281bhp

I doubt it's mappable (I'm sure the seller would shout about it, if so) - reads like a generic map on a chip fitted inside.
I've not heard of this chip and I see it's Jap in origin; they can run very aggressive timimg/boost/fuelling (Mines chips spring to mind) - not advisable IMHO (if you value your engine, that is).
That said, I suppose you could buy/fit it and immediately get it on a RR to check the A/F throughout the whole of the rev range, etc.... and bhp/torque gain! If all okay, then fair enough (but I'd fit a boost and A/F gauge too).
If not, then simply sell it on...

No that is a 4 pin ecu you need a 3 pin.

No. It's for the early MY93-96 cars - A-C.
The sticker on the side for the one for your MY97/98 car needs to read "PFC GC8-D..." Basically yours will have a 3-plug socket (the one in the ad is a 4-plugger).
Why not periodically check the Classifieds on SN (subscribe to the two "For Sale" threads) - there's usually one available within any one month period
