when using a standard s2000 ecu for a mk2 escort conversion how do i remove the immobilizer
i looked into it breifly and i was told you need the key and the cool digital dash out of the s2000 i don';t know if the ecu is unlockable or if you will now have to go aftermarket for the management.
i did hear you can do away with the mobilizer chip but don't know why
I've done this. It can be done but you need to keep the key and ignition barrel sensor. I'm currenlty thinking it would have been much better to just use an aftermarket ecu though.
My top tip would also would be to keep the airpump relay (I didn't - tricking the ecu into thinking that it's working is driving me nuts)

Airpump ?

Yep. Airpump. It's the big hairdryer that blows clean air into the exhaust during warmup. Whether that's to speed up catalyst heat up rate, or just to dilute the exhaust to meet the emissions laws is debatable (in my opinion - probably a bit of each). In the Honda it's under the battery I think - in the fron N/S anyhows.

Hi, sorry for bumping an old thread.
There is a way to remove/replace the immobiliser on the S2000 ECU. The infomation to do so is not readily available on the internet because many people are cautious about the decreased security if their vehicles.
What I will say is that you can remove a chip in the ECU and the engine will still run but it will throw a CEL. The other way of doing it is by replacing the chip with an "immobiliser simulator", available from http://www.doctronic.at/mobilizer_fx01_E.htm.
Why take it out, I bought a standard ecu,key and barrel (23 quid off ebay) bought the bit of wiring from barrel to ecu 40 quid and now I have extra security on the car as I have mounted the barrel in my tunnel with the key removable hey resto carnt start my car with out the Honda key. Easy peasy.
Are you guys still using the s2000 dash as well? I don't mind using the immobiliser but don't want to have the dash.
Use an aftermarket ecu gets rid of all the headaches.
