Resolved 1G ECU Compatible?

[bzzzt]

Ok, the ECU in my Talon fried, it was numbered MD145902 E2T34477, 89-6/90 AWD 5 spd Cali ECU. A buddy of mine has one that is MD166262 E2T36578 this is a 6/90-92 ECU, Federal.

Now logic would dictate that this one will not work with my car. Is this correct? Are there any simple modifications I could make to get this one to work with my car, or am I best to just keep looking. Thanks!

There is a way that you could make that ecu work but i am not quite sure how. I believe that you have to cut a wire or something like that. As far as i know the 89-90 ecu's will only work in those cars but the 91-94 ecu's are all compatible as far as i am aware. I would just find yourself a 89-90 ecu that way you don't have to hack anything up
