Evo VIII Ecu (USDM) in Evo IV (JDM)
Wow this thread is awesome! I hope you guys are still active and can help me out. I have an Evo V RS LHD and am interested in using an Evo VIII ECU, while keeping the Evo V wiring. I also have the built in antilag (SAS) system and am wondering if the VIII ECU will be able to operate it properly. I am almost ready to get the car started and need to figure out which ECU to go with. The car came with a MOTEC but I have no experience tuning it and figured the VIII ECU would be easy to tune and easy to come by in the US.

succesfully swapped VIII ecu in IV
now installing slim fan and how to wire it ?
it is one speed unit, so has only 2 wires - positive and negative
so how should I connect it to oem harness' 4 wire plug ? is it safe if I join car's hi/low wires together and negative wires together and connect them to fan's two wires accordingly ?

It stays on as far as I remember, but it is easy to double check. Having it stay on would be the safer way to do it, because if there is a failure of the high speed circuit this way the fan would still run.
