Hi James,
This is a replacement chip for our '88 STS Civic. The rules allow changing
'stuff' inside the factory box, but not external 'piggy-back' systems (but
you can modify signals sent to the ECU from sensors.)
Fortunately, this kit puts a socket in the ECU so we can put in the stock
chip as needed. The chips we have change the fuel and ignition maps, as
well as change the rev-limiter. Very inexpensive, as there are several
'standard' programs for our D16A6 engine.
I expect there is an even bigger market for engine swap systems, like
B16/B18's into the various Honda products. Of course, there is already lots
of companies with good and not so good products...
Thanks!
Kevin

hi kevin,
that gives me an idea. i will ask our electronics guy if we could market a
kit that will would bypass the ECU without having to unsolder it. the tuner
product we just released was designed so that you dont need to remove the
ECU, wire taps are used instead to the harness.
the idea would be you could switch back and forth to the custom ECU, and
could return to the stock ECU for smog, etc.
also, what does your custom ECU do? we could provide the same functionality
in a remote box that is splice-in if the market is big enough.
