AEM is looking for someone to loan them a car with a STOCK D17A2 so they can do the basemap for the new EMS.

It has to be SoCal only and they want it for a week.

Check this thread for details:

Before anybody asks, the reason they want a stock car is because the basemap needs to be confirmed that way. They may want a turbo D17 at some point but not right now.

No. It has to be a factory VTEC motor.

The EMS is the 30-1070 K-Type Swap ECU. It is not specifically a 7G ECU. It is designed for people who swap a K20 into an older chassis. It fully supports all variants of the K20 engine but it does not support the 7G (2001+) chassis multiplex scheme. What this means is the coolant gauge and A/C dont work in a 7G.

It just happens that a K20 ECU is almost pin to pin compatible with a D17 computer. AEM has taken this into account on the 1070 and they need to do a final base map.

I had one of the earlier prototypes on my car but can't do the testing anymore since I swapped out the D series.

So to answer your question, they are not holding up the K20 swap ECU for validation on a D17 7G, it's just a knock on feature that really helps the 7G community. Scheduled release is December, give or take a month.

Damn, I wish I had an EX. I have an LX that could easily go back to stock right now.

I am glad to see that real parts are coming for us but how good would this be for both N/A and FI 7th Gens... also would it be a direct replacement for our ECU's etc...... A bit more detailed info would be great..

No, the most important thing is a totally stock electrical system, meaning VTEC wiring, ECU. No aftermarket VTEC controllers.
