    The REDOM ECU is the factory ECU modified and tuned by RE Amemiya and would usually include in it's most basic form lowering the thermo fan start up temperature and removing the 180kph speed limiter. (this basic ECU tune is marketed as REDOM Mini). Then there are custom options such as raising the rev limiter, different fuel maps and boost control etc.

      Thanks for the info. This one says type a on it and 0.8 written on it? I’ve put it up for sale on eBay now as I will go single turbo instead…

    one of the nicest cars ever made in my opinion... would love to see the 20b back in there once more... there's no other option!

    That generation Cosmo came with either a 13B or 20B. You may consider a 13B (ideally a half-cut from Japan). Of course, that’s still as rare as hen’s teeth… There’s always the possibility of swapping in something completely different (small V6, turbo 4) , but the size of your engine bay would be a key consideration. Wish you the best on this one.

      Thanks. I think the car is too good to do a swap on it so the hunt for a 20b will continue… I’m sure I will find one eventually. Then the build gets exciting 😎

    It should have a D-series 20B-REW but just sourcing anything is the priority.

    I believe the Redom ECU is from famous rotary tuner Re Amemiya. Awesome car, definitely a dream car for me. Shame it's been gutted for a rx7 swap 😔

    • @Resto.Nation
      @Resto.Nation  Рік тому

      I reckon that’s probably the reason it’s been removed unfortunately too… always the way. Makes an epic rx7 and kills a Cosmo in the process.

      I’ve been told less than 10. I’ve trawled the internet to try and find as many as possible but they all failed their mots years ago. I’ve only found 2 others myself that I know are actually on the road, a red one and a blue one. Yep, Japan only.
