what kind of ECU i can use on my [AT] dc5

[mikoZ]

like what i m say at beginning
i was confusing abt VAFC II, lots of ppl use it on their honda ride, but most ppl here suggest not using it, it doesnt make much different.
my question is ,1. is it possible to swap the factory ecu for my car(i know i can not use k-pro and k 100)
2 if i can, which brand will be my best choice
3 any problem i ll meet when i setting on that ecu
4 what s the best choice of the piggyback ecu(i perfer to haltech one)


thx all

Its possible to use either Greddy Emanage Ultimate or use kpro as a piggyback to the auto ecu, you need to buy a kpro compatible ecu for this and find someone who knows how to custom the harness. It has been done where i come from but i don't think they have the expertise for that here. bad luck mate

get a Kpro,


also thread moved

[Tofu]

the sad fact is with the auto DC5 you can't do much with it in terms of ecu tuning...

[ECU-MAN]

yeah your right

Kpro and K100 is for MT only

[mikoZ]

eah, maybe can us kpro or k100 like a piggyback.

[45SET]

maybe email Hondata direct and ask them.

there's only a few that have done it in the USA, and it was using a harness that last I've heard is not being put into production.

still need ur suggestion~~ppl

dude... pick one and do it.

Most people on the forum with a DC5 own a Type R or S

Tofu (who currently owns a Type S) use to own a Auto DC5r, but sold it due to the fact that he couldn't really mod the auto model.

Do some more investigation into the matter and find out what other auto owners use. Best bet would be to look at some forums from the states.
