ECU chips? Programmers?

Anyone know of any good ECU chips or programmers for the J32a1/2000 Acura TL? Thanks

There isn't any.
You can change the ECU though, but that would require a 6 speed.

Looks like there may be some hope but I don't think it will be cheap. You would have to convert to 3g ECU and run Hondata. Not sure what all will be required but my have to swap wiring harness and maybe the cluster. You could run standalone or E manage but I have only heard of the FI guys really getting much gain from the E manage.

There are NO chips or programmers for our ecus. They cant be reprogrammed period. Your ONLY options are to convert your wiring and sensors to the 3rd gen and pick up one of their ecus (has to be a specific few) and then get Hondata to reprogram, or you get a full standalone and wire that up to control your engine.

fsttyms1 how is the progress with the 3G ECU and harness conversion? Will we have to change out any of the sensors (crank, cam.....) and I assume it will be transmission specific?

I havent had a chance to do anything with it yet. There will be some work though to get the proper crank sensor. As far as i know this will only work for the manual trans. As our autos are different from the 07-08 tl-s autos
