Lol he sure is.

That's the answer I expected to see Anil. But that's a good answer imho!

Woot can't wait!

Anil, I see what you did there

Mahara: Would you object to me emailing their distributor? I don't want to blow up your spot or your buddys.

Well I mean the cat is kinda out of the bag now. That public facebook post obviously, to me at least, shows there is something coming.

Just don't say where you got the info from! LOL

Those ECUs are K series. I guess it's safe to say that the breakthrough was actually on the OBDII K series ecu. I assume that just enabled them to look at the Js too.

To me his comment was spot on. Vague but not misleading.

Anything this doesn't have? Lol. Damn.

Call me crazy, but I didn't see anything that specifically stated timing can be advanced. I did see ignition retard and plenty of "ignition" based parameters, but nothing that specifically said it can be advanced. I'm assuming it can, and if so, this sounds great.

EDIT: Ohhhh, they responded to Anil "We can't give any details at this point. "

Lol I don't know. I really know very little about this stuff.

AFAIK you can do whatever with timing.

Yea the response indicated (to me) that there is SOMETHING, they just can't divulge anything yet. If that's how it all is working I'm going to assume they will push forward with the K stuff first and deal with our much smaller market later.

^ Lol.

I'd have to agree with you Mahar. I hope it comes out soon I really need a tune.

I'm going to email Xenocron and see what's up. I'll keep it simple and 'anonymous' (well, sort of) and let you guys know what is said.

They probably know very little but I bet they will confirm if this is legit or not.

That's because Timeline has ruined finding stuff easily on (business) fan pages.

Only so many ways to lay out a GUI for tuning... Lol

Neptune has looked like that forever though. The 3D mapping is something new.

And I agree Timeline for businesses makes no sense to me...

How does this compare to the Hondata solution?

Since Hondata has been doing k-series ECU's forever and just touched and ran away from the j-series ECU, has this company really done the impossible or just made things prettier?

So what do you guys have cooking for the J series ???

NepTune Engine Management
Can't give any details at this point.

Edit: I like how you wrote out the emoticons as if you were on here. Lol

I have no idea at this point. If all K series have been OBDII then I don't know what he was talking about when he said they figured something out for Ks that no one else had... Then he said what they have will kick Hondata Kpros ass...

As far as the J I think they really did the impossible and completely reverse engineered it. That is what I was told.

He then went on to tell me a story of the guy who is doing all this. I'm not sure if he owns Neptune or what but he said that this particular individual cracked the Mercedes SLK 55 AMG ecu. Something no one else in the world had done. Mercedes caught wind of this and took legal action. To get around the legal issues a 55 AMG owner sold the car to him for $20k. He then cracked the ECU, tuned it, and sold the AMG back to the customer for $40k. Lol

Damn lol. $20k more.

Currently, there is nothing out for the 'new' K series (2012+ Si). If I'm not mistaken, I'd imagine their claim that 'no one else has done this' would apply to the new K series. If so, then I do believe that they could crack the J series as well. Considering his FB response, I'd say there is something coming.

Swoosh, keep us updated on the message you sent them.

Damn lol. $20k more.

Currently, there is nothing out for the 'new' K series (2012+ Si). If I'm not mistaken, I'd imagine their claim that 'no one else has done this' would apply to the new K series. If so, then I do believe that they could crack the J series as well. Considering his FB response, I'd say there is something coming.

Swoosh, keep us updated on the message you sent them.
So new Ks start in 2012? Or would they start like first year of the 2G TSX? That would make more sense to me... Funny how when you own a certain platform you stop paying attention to everything else. Lol

+1 on keeping us updated. I didn't want to reach out but I'm glad someone did. However I'd say, let swoosh keep doing the contacting. We don't need 20 AZ members bugging them for info one person has probably already obtained.

An alternate perspective could be ...

If done in a respectful manner, it could be helpful for all AZ members to bug them. It would let them know that there is an interest and a market demand.

Emailing mob to get maufacturers to start making custom J parts.

I guess it would be a new strategy.

Hey if this happens then pat me on the back for the heads up.

Beyond that I was just wanting to be part of this community and to let people know what I do.

^^^ if you are looking at it from a price stand point you can get the AEM FIC which does pretty much the same thing (assuming this "new" unit does not/cannot advance timing).....and the AEM FIC is around the 600-700 price range as well

you might wanna see the capabilities and what each unit has to offer and what fits your needs + budget and then pick one....
