it wont work, the EF's run 100 pin ECU and use coil packs, the EB has a 60 pin ECU and runs a dizzy. you can use an EL XR6 manual one providing that your car has smartlock.

it changes the fuel mapping allowing you to run a lumpier cam with minimal loss of idle quality. will also let you run thermo's with out the need for a temp switch and also you will be able to run a BBM easier too.. i paid $200 for my manual ED XR6 one.

the ED one has less features than the EL one ie BBM stuff/thermo wiring...and id assume the mappings are slightly different again. both dont have the speed limiter.

I paid $250 for an EL manual xr6 ECU 2 weeks ago, but I would assume anywhere from $200 up to $400, depending on how quickly they want to sell it. I say go for it, they are very much in high demand.
