I'll get back to you.
With regard to your speed sensor CEL, see if you can see what conditions will cause this to happen. It could be the surging is making it think it is out of spec or something.
BTW, nice to see someone who is actually absorbing information. I am working in an offshore environment and I don't see that very often.

^KN_TL, rodney told me yesterday that the knock monitor has a pretty long wire on it and that i should be able to mount it anywhere i want in the car.
i thought you guys said it was short tho?
second question.
i am doing some dyno runs this weekend. is it okay if i unhook the MS3 and do a few runs, then hook up the ECU and do a few runs to see the difference? or is there a relearn procedure that takes time or will it be immediate?

No. Just all my other shit.. fuel pump injectors knock monitor, ecu... I can mount everything on the car now finally and when iget the harness I'll take 5 minutes to plug it in.
There shouldn't be a problem running the rdx injectors right... just running rich..

damn Andy....why you selling all the stuff mang !!!
well with the injectors dont you need a fuel management system ? I thought you need a fuel management system for the added cc/min.....i could be wrong but thought of asking you....
anyway, bump for a cool guy !!! quick shipping !!! I have ordered from Andy before and the process was painless....

Anil,
I'm cautious to say (definitively) that fuel management isnt needed...however I will say this:
When returning my old 2005 5AT to stock, I removed the cams, exhaust, bored throttle body, then megsaquirt ecu....the car was completely stock EXCEPT injectors. I then started her up, and drove around town. She idled at 14:1 afr, went to mid 12's on WOT, didnt hesitate, and drove perfectly with nice stock 5AT power. I did a few city pulls, highway pulls, drove a few additional miles then brought her home to remove them for OEM before selling the car. Again, this wasnt a long term test, but did not throw a code yet due to being metered back (which BTW the 3rd gen TL can do, but can throw a CEL for injector pulse because of it over 20% pulse reduction).

I would disconnect it now, reset the ECU using the non-triple-D method (disconnect battery) and drive it around for a few days. Then you know it's learned just what it needs. I am not sure what the stock ECU does while it's being ignored.
I didn't realize the ECU would throw a code on pulsewidth to the injector but as long as it can run in the lower duty range, the ECU will keep it where it's programmed to go.

It's great to see the ECUs being shipped once again. I hope you all get your ECUs in a timely fashion. I also hope they all work as advertised.
Please keep in mind I am an outside party here and have no involvement in this matter. I just thought you guys should know since the forum is like a family to an extent. I may get flamed for this, but I'm only passing on information, not making something up or bashing anyone.
An issue with Rodney was brought to fruition by a member of J32a in one of his most recent threads. Like I said I am not taking sides here, just pointing something out that I thought was important since most of you have been waiting for over 4 months...
http://www.j32a.com/showthread.php?t=2259
I'm not trying to make this a bigger deal than it needs to be. Hi Speed had an issue as well that I believe got resolved (hopefully). Everyone has issues with "X" company, I'm just sharing this info with you guys. Not sure on the status of this current issue, but I hope this gets resolved as well.
Rodney, I really hope (although doubtful) you don't take offense to this as I have nothing against you or your work. I think you're doing a great thing with this ECU, and I hope everything works out. As a fellow forum member, I felt it necessary to 'warn' other members of this situation. If it's gotten resolved, great.
I will say one thing. And I know it's a one man army over there... However, if you started a group buy anticipating 15-20 orders, I'd assume after you received the money you'd order everything right away as to keep your customers happy. The promise of deadlines past just seems redundant and in a way, unacceptable. I understand there are issues, but it's been over 4 months of waiting for some of these people. Most who paid in full. I know you were preparing for your baby girl, and congratulations again. But that's even more of a reason for you to put forth every effort to get the ECU's out earlier. Again, I am a 3rd party here with no involvement in any way. But if I paid $1300 for something that I was promised to have within a month or so, and it's now going on 4 months, I'd get my money back. I'd be in touch as to when the product would be available to ship and then and only then, would I send money back. No offense to Rodney because this is how the world is nowadays, but I wouldn't trust anyone with my $1300 if I were waiting for 4 months.....

It's not real short but not long enough to reach the a-pillar on the drivers side (at least mine isn't).
I would disconnect it now, reset the ECU using the non-triple-D method (disconnect battery) and drive it around for a few days. Then you know it's learned just what it needs. I am not sure what the stock ECU does while it's being ignored.

so you think if i disconnect it now, and then do a dyno run. and then immediately plug it back in and do a few more runs back to back that it'll be ok?
i'm worried if i disconnect it and then reconnect it, it won't be accurate while on the dyno. idk why i feel that way, i just do. part of me just wants to leave it hooked up the whole time.

You're running static on the JnR. The stock is not, per se.
A day or two before your dyno plug your stock in. Let it do it's thing. Do a run or two. Then plug the JnR back in. If you were running the LiveTuner then it would probably be a slightly different story.

I totally agree that he doesn't follow the classic business model or the classic R&D to MFG model, but I knew that from the start and as I said accept what comes with that.
We have the same reactions here as he is getting over there. Some more based on emotion than fact.
I would be more concerned about the accuracy of the stock run without some relearn time based on your driving habits. The change with the ECU is immediate and you will have that data to see what the tweaks have on the dyno numbers.

I'm not playing dirty. Hi Speed posted his personal issue in here, which Rodney tried to resolve. I'm just relaying information. I'm not here to say Rodney is a bad guy, he's done everything to prove otherwise in my eyes. I just wanted to give the members a heads up like I said, because the fellow members are like family. No malicious intent. Obviously it was taken that way, but I guarantee not 1 person will be swayed, especially since he just shipped out another batch.

Like I said, same as I have seen here. Some want it now and want it done and then you get some who will blame others for something they caused and just want it fixed no matter who actually caused it.

Sonnick....i know you (from the forums) and hence respect/trust you....but i dont know the person who posted that up on the other forums....
so 1 guy comes and says the engine caught on fire BECAUSE of JnR ECU and i wont do business with them....no supporting post or supporting evidence, was it the ECU or evidence that his engine caught on fire from the Turbo (heck i dont even know if he has the turbo !!!)
so my point being its a great heads up giving by you....but then i think you are playing dirty from how you have formulated your above post....so you havent ordered the ECU but you make sure to post the time taken by Rodney....or the issues with Hi Speed (i doubt you know both sides of the story there)....again am not saying you need to know, am just saying dont mention it if you dont know.....if you would have just posted the link and left it at that, i bet you would have gotten a lot more attention....just my 2 cents brother....
i understand the turn around time mentioned was end of Feb....and its mid May...so he is not 4 months out but 2 and half months out....i do understand thats a long long time but he had some family related emergency plus he never said NO to anyone who wants their money back....so if people want their $$$ back, PM me or talk to Rodney and we will refund you....
yes i wish my ECU had come in earlier....but this is RnD....and this is your post about RnD on the other thread:
i agree that Marcus has not taken any orders for the jpipe but 10 months for developing a already existing jpipe versus 2.5 months for a standalone ECU....i think its pretty fair....
ofcourse i am biased towards Rodney.....coz he has never gone quite....what i mean is people who delay shipping wont reply to your text/calls/etc....but Rodney always replied and explained me why he is late or cant ship for another 2 days....and its not only for me....people have called him from the forums and he has always replied....
and he is taking preventive measure so this doesnt happen again....i had 3 more orders for him but he told me to ask them to wait 2-3 weeks before getting orders as he wants to clear the current orders first....so if you ask me, its not bad at all for a startup company....remember when the RV6 V1 exhaust was more than 6 months out even thow they had a prototype ready and the payments in hand ?

R&D doesn't happen overnight, neither does fabrication. They are doing their best to produce the best Jpipe for our application. Be patient. I think this teaser thread was a bit premature, but it sure has us all twitching in anticipation. We need to be patient and come to terms with the fact that this probably won't be ready until the end of the year.

I think some members feel you need to be an expert at working with the ecu for you to deserve to have it and this is not the case. This is the reason for professionals in our society, to take on tasks we are unable to, either because of skill or time. A result of enlisting a professional to perform work for you is, it's hard to judge the quality of that work when the work being performed is beyond your skill level. In my case I have the shop saying " these parts are not working right and Rodney is to blame" and the other I have Rodney saying " you shop is not following my directions ". Neither side has any reason to waste time and both have done good work or made quality products in the past. It's hard to figure out what to think.
As far as Rodney, no attempt was made to address my concerns until an email yesterday and I am thankful for his willingness to help.
My hope is to enlist his expertise by shipping the car to him this summer, to get it tuned by the man who knows this platform best.

It's like you going to the doctor for a cold and they're going to tell you that you need a vasectomy to cure it when you full well know that they are wrong.
I talked to Rodney and things your tuner was saying and the approach was totally wrong. If you had at least some knowledge under your belt, you would know that. This stuff is not marketed by ANYONE as a turnkey product.
It's the same thing over @ j32a. Someone's car burns up from the headlight short circuit and it's somehow the ECU's fault?
I'm not an expert by all means but I am doing everything I can to know that I am not going to damage or burn down my ride.
It's foolish to do this to something you rely on to get you to work everyday.
BTW, don't you think spending 3 weeks in the hospital awaiting a child to be born is a legitimate excuse?

Just because we love each other so much... First page straight from JnR... "Jandr plug and play ECU". :P
I can't imagine anyone with tuning experience having 'too' much trouble with TunerStudio and or MS3.
But we are talking about an individually, handmade, product here. There has to be some allowances and or room for error.

Sonnick....i know you (from the forums) and hence respect/trust you....but i dont know the person who posted that up on the other forums....
so 1 guy comes and says the engine caught on fire BECAUSE of JnR ECU and i wont do business with them....no supporting post or supporting evidence, was it the ECU or evidence that his engine caught on fire from the Turbo (heck i dont even know if he has the turbo !!!)
so my point being its a great heads up giving by you....but then i think you are playing dirty from how you have formulated your above post....so you havent ordered the ECU but you make sure to post the time taken by Rodney....or the issues with Hi Speed (i doubt you know both sides of the story there)....again am not saying you need to know, am just saying dont mention it if you dont know.....if you would have just posted the link and left it at that, i bet you would have gotten a lot more attention....just my 2 cents brother....
i understand the turn around time mentioned was end of Feb....and its mid May...so he is not 4 months out but 2 and half months out....i do understand thats a long long time but he had some family related emergency plus he never said NO to anyone who wants their money back....so if people want their $$$ back, PM me or talk to Rodney and we will refund you....
yes i wish my ECU had come in earlier....but this is RnD....and this is your post about RnD on the other thread:
i agree that Marcus has not taken any orders for the jpipe but 10 months for developing a already existing jpipe versus 2.5 months for a standalone ECU....i think its pretty fair....
ofcourse i am biased towards Rodney.....coz he has never gone quite....what i mean is people who delay shipping wont reply to your text/calls/etc....but Rodney always replied and explained me why he is late or cant ship for another 2 days....and its not only for me....people have called him from the forums and he has always replied....
and he is taking preventive measure so this doesnt happen again....i had 3 more orders for him but he told me to ask them to wait 2-3 weeks before getting orders as he wants to clear the current orders first....so if you ask me, its not bad at all for a startup company....remember when the RV6 V1 exhaust was more than 6 months out even thow they had a prototype ready and the payments in hand ?

I haven't ordered an ECU for a few reasons:
1) He hasn't started working on an Accord harness yet as far as I know
2) There still seem to be some kinks that people have been dealing with
3) I have new mods coming
4) There is a potentially cheaper option in the near future who's main distributor happens to be a GREAT tuner and pretty local to me
As previously stated, he is a one man army and because of that he has limited time, resources, and $$ to do R&D. For being the lone ranger, I think he's handled most of his dealings pretty well.
Like I said, I commend Rodney for what he has done. I mentioned that in a couple of my posts. I also mentioned that I am a 3rd party with no involvement in any of this. All I was doing was relaying information that I considered important for those purchasing the ECU.
I don't remember how RV6 dealt with his exhaust batches. In regards to Marcus' thread, it's 100% different. Marcus hasn't taken any down payments or made any effort to start a group buy. His intentions were made clear: to create the most efficient Jpipe on the market. I completely agree that it was way premature, but the concept is very different. I don't recall him giving any dates on when it will be finished, and that was for a good reason; he doesn't know.
Please refrain from commenting that I'm 'playing dirty.' I'm a very active member of this forum and contribute accordingly. I try to keep an open mind with everything and don't have any issues with anyone. I gave my unbiased opinion on the matter, being a 3rd party, and that's it. I didn't speak down to Rodney nor bash him in any way. I did mention that I think he could've handled it better, but there was no indication of me 'speaking down' to him or 'playing dirty.' If I was playing dirty I'd say basically what that guy said on J32a.
I've never dealt with Rodney on a business level so I can only comment on what I've seen from other people. What I've seen for the most part is positive feedback. When I emailed him he seemed eager to answer the question(s) at hand and in a timely fashion. All I did here was provide a link to a thread where someone had an issue. I'm glad he got back to Hi Speed and things are working out.
I hope you guys realize I wasn't bashing Rodney nor trying to deter anyone from purchasing his product(s).
