ECU for turbo?
Ok Hondata won't do it.
AEM is on the works, for a year now.
What about a stand alone ECU?
I'm looking at Micro Tech. but I'm open to any ideas.
I know it will take more tunning,
And what is the difference between AEM and a universal ecu?

Micro Tech, Motech, Haltech all have to be hacked and spliced in like the E-Manage

Can stand alone easy to tune?
But than again if it was that easy why AEM is having a hard time with theirs?

Rep Power: 285 haltech pretty much requires the removal of all stock wiring, and then re-running all the wires. Ive done it on a miata. It is hell to do, but fun afterwards.
If you have a choice, i would do plug and play just for its simplicity. But since that isnt an option right now......................

The AEM 30-1070 K series swap EMS will work on a 7th gen with a D17. However, you lose A/C functionality and the coolant gauge. No cutting/splicing of wires is required. The EMS still gets and displays the engine temp but the dash gauge does not work. It will be supplied with a startup map for the D17 that will have been tuned for a stock D17A2 but that should be used as a starting point for your tune, not the tune itself. If you wanted to have the A/C function then you must wire in a seperate A/C request switch to the EMS for it.
You have the ability to change everything. In addition to fuel/spark/VTEC control, It has a boost controller, programmable traction control, an internal data logger and a bunch of other stuff. Also, an optional internal UEGO AFR controller is available.
But I must warn you, and I'm very serious, this thing is not a toy. It is very powerfull and gives you total authority over your motor, up to and including the authority to blow it to ****! It will not stop you from doing something stupid like putting 40 degrees of advance at 15 psi boost or running at 16:1 AFR at WOT. It will simply do it, instantly, and you will be stuck with the smoking pile of junk that *you* created. In other words, it's a tool, and if you dont know how to use the tool then you will be very, very sorry. It is best left to someone who already knows what he is doing.
There are quite a few in beta testing now, I would expect them to be widely available in late January or early February.
