Yes! Actually that should boost power on your 1993 to low 330ps range. Details here.

It almost certainly will need new capacitors installed though... if you have the ability, replace those before installing in your car.

Nice, that should definitely make it worthwhile! And thanks for the link - I love the trademarked ButtDyno , that's what really matters!

I want to be able to see live data from the engine before I swap it into my car though, which leaves me some time to do the capacitors - is there a How-to for this, or is it apparent enough what I need when I open the unit? I have played around enough with arduinos and hobby electronics to feel confident in performing such a procedure.

There's not a how-to as it's standard electronics / soldering, but this thread has more info. I use the automotive-rated Nichicon UBT's like Alphasud. I've found the factory solder to require ridiculous amounts of heat before it liqifies, need to have my Weller soldering station pegged at 850°F and that barely does the job. You don't need to remove all the old goopy conformal coating, just around the 6 (or sometimes 7) capacitor leads underneath. If possible, practice on a spare/junk/low-value LH module before attempting it on your good one. Plan on it taking 1-2 hours the first time.

Yikes, hefty temperatures for some tiny components! Thanks for the link, I'll see if I can source them locally as well
