if you keep that kind of poor economy... You'll end up fouling your plugs and o2 sensor(s). You may even damage the cat and at worst glaze the bores. Put the OEM ecu in for now until you can get a tune. And dont get over enthusiastic on the throttle.

EDIT: Just saw your post above. Get it checked out. that is not normal. not even close.

There may be a problem with one or more sensors on your engine if that's all you get out of a full tank with the standard ECU. It will obviously still run the engine (badly) but when you fit the link ECU it's worse because it's a different tune. This Link came out of one of mine which has a 1996 JDM loom so it should be very similar (if not identical) to your 1995 JDM loom. Try to sort out why it's running so rich with the standard ECU, then try the Link again. Or take it to RMS and get their opinion. Incedently, when I removed that Link that I sold you, I temporarily fitted a standard 1996 JDM ECU and the car runs OK.

shouldnt make any difference if you have a 94. I have a 95 ecu in my 90 Legacy. They really didnt change much over that period. Lazy designers Must be the same people who made the 997 porsche 911.
