sorry, don't know for certain about 2wd.. but for 4x4:

The label is handwritten with reference "L3e.31"



The outer label on the ECU also carries the same reference, so maybe 2wd is similar, with the external label reference matching the eprom label??

Dave, that's a bog standard L8 ECU, baby board is fitted as standard to L8, the Pectel version is visibly similar, but obviously different electrically.
This particular ECU still had the Marelli seals intact before we took the lid off

Maybe its a P8.

Does it have some large red capacitors inside it, near to the ECU connector in one corner? If so its P8.

Certainly wasnt an L8 then thats for sure.
A L8 will work without the board but its virtually a crappy Level 6....

it could say anything realy ,as it is not a special part, only the data in the chip is special, but when i program a chip for a cossie i normally use ......27g4a-15 chips ,the only real way of checking is to put your chip in a eprom pragrammer and veiw the data on it
