True, but in speaking with a few companies out there, they have nothing planned for the J series.

I really tried to get Hondata to build a program for the J series. They flat out said no. I've heard in the past that Honda has the new (OBD-2B) ECUs coded, and Hondata is the only company that has the licensing for them, at least the K series.

It would be nice for some sort of valvetrain upgrade to come out, but until there is a real ECU I wouldn't purchase it. I really don't think the $2k+ price tag on the AEM EMS is what most people want, plus you have to make it work with the J series.

The K series are still just beginning to take off. There is so much potential with that engine, much like the J series, but people are actually paying attention to the K. It really is a shame, but thats where the market is.

Sorry for the ultra thread jack.
