I have a problem my wonderful boyfriend bought me a Type R Mivec/VTEC YO!!!!! controller i was so excited until I opened the box to discover the Manual was all in japanese. I took it to my mechanic and i have been searching for it on the internet but the company doesnt make them anymore. I was wondering if anyone has a manual that could help me out as i am so wanting to put it in. I mainly need the wiring diagram in english and the steps to put it in. I really need a hero with a manual

Please help

Umm... it would help to specify the brand and the model number...

Try this link:

I think it could be this one, or the model up from this one that you may have...

Ok, after some searching this is what i found... that's if you have that model number. The FTO ECU is located, on the passangers side, behind the plastic bit on the floor that is meant to hold the flares.

If this doesn't help the only other way would be to ask the FTO Owners Club in the UK...

Just a warning... Mivec controllers don't do that much... you will actually loose power if you put it too early or too late as Mitsubishi did a fine job... I heard that putting it slightly later does a little bit, and also putting slightly earlier like 5.3k... but is also strongly depends on your mods...

Best thing with them is the REV readout, the speed limiteer & you can time your performance
