CAPS LOCK OFF UNLESS YOU'RE SHOUTING PLEASE

In answer to your question, the Mugen ECU's are based on the K20A engine as found in the JDM ITR and JDM CTR. The Euro CTR uses a K20A2 engine, it has lower compression, different cams, pistons, revlimit and ECU. Thus fitting a Mugen ECU may work, but it certainly won't work to it's true potential.

If you want to alter the ECU on a Euro CTR the only realistic option (for those without huge budgets) is one of Hondata's ECU upgades.

As Paul said its for the JDM car.
You can get it to work but the wiring harness is different on the JDM cars so you will need to make some changes, PLUS you will need a wideband lambda sensor and they are about £200. It wont work otherwise. :wink:
