Thanks Kristian! A friend of mine who is a programmer is looking into developing a tool for interfacing to an existing ECU. This would have to involve either replacing the existing ECU or sitting in series with it (since the Honda units lack any external inputs, except those cool European ones with the prom socket). Guess if they debut a 2006 CRX Renaissance model, that would just *have* to include user-tunable inputs for the onboard computers (Honda, are you listening?).

Essentially replacement ECUs that are fully programmable. I know a guy with a turbo NSX (17 pounds of boost) that runs a TEC2 from electromotive. Zdyne makes one too, the Gold SuperECU. http://www.electromotive-inc.com/ http://www.zdyne.com/ http://www.hondata.com/ All are about $1000, plus or minus a couple hundred. I don't think any of them have the "Manifold temperature critical" warning. :) -Kristian On Wed, 28 Aug 2002, George Freeman wrote: > I remember a discussion years ago on the list about ECU emulators but > haven't heard whether or not there were any new software utilities.
