AEM EMS v1 on a J32A2 - looking for advice

Greetings, comrades. Has anyone on the forum ever attempted to run a J32A2 with a series 1 AEM EMS? Specifically a 1020 (I think that's what it's called). There's one for sale relatively cheap in my region, feeling slightly tempted to buy it and adapt it to my car. Assuming I can somehow wire it to work with my car's electronics/automatic transmission, can I actually use it? Are there any issues associated with such an install that could render my car unsuitable for daily use?

Hey InspireJ32A, haven't seen you in awhile.

The only info I could find, with a quick U.S. google search, is listed below from the supplied link:

https://www.bodykits.com/i-24243645-...m-30-1020.html

AEM Plug and Play Engine Management System Fits:
Â? 1996-1997 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder Manual Transmission Only
Â? 1996-1997 Honda Del Sol Manual Transmission Only
Â? 1996-1998 Honda Civic DX / EX Manual Transmission Only
Â? 1996-1999 Acura Integra Manual Transmission Only
Â? 1996-2000 Honda Prelude Manual Transmission Only
Â? 1997 Acura 2.2L CL Manual Transmission Only
Â? 1997 Acura 3.0L CL Manual Transmission Only

It looks like the only V6 that it was meant to run with was the J30A1 from the 1G 97-99 Acura CL, otherwise

Hi, zeta! The car has been treating me well, most of my issues are solvable with help from our local Honda Inspire/Saber community. However, tuning the J32A2 is not something that comes up frequently, and not something many people have experience with: even the guys who build their motors and do extensive head work, porting and all that other stuff - even they really don't know a lot about tuning these engines, so my last resort is Acurazine. Judging by your list, the series 1 is definitely not a plug and play unit for my car, but I've heard from a few people locally that as a standalone computer it's equivalent to Haltech Elites and Motecs (while being somewhat cheaper and simpler), so that gives me a bit of hope. As in if you do the wiring and other work associated with adapting the ECU correctly - it might actually run my motor. The way things are going so far - it looks like I'm gonna have to figure it all out for myself.
