As some of you know I have Nistune but it doesn't work. Matt advised me to try another ECU. I'm to the point I'm not sure I want to spend any more money trying to fix Nistune because honestly MS3X is enticing as hell.

However since I am still mulling it over my question is this, Since 88 turbo ECU's are so stupid expensive and 87 NA uses the same O2 it would seem like a viable and cheaper alternative. However it uses low impedance injectors where the 88 turbo uses high. I have dropping resistors installed to use the JWT kit and the low impedance injectors. Will the 87 NA ECU work with those resistors installed or would I need to remove them?

You can use them as is, the resistors just limit the current the ecu sees.

Its better to remove/bypass the resistors though if thats going to be a permanent setup.

Really though if you are using a nistune ecu a stock o2 sensor isnt that big of a deal. I don't run one with any of my setups.

87N/A does not use the same o2, 86 NA/T use the same o2
