Hello,
Here is my first post, being a GM guy on a Honda board. I have a 80 Firebird, two 86 TA's, a 76 Chevy truck, etc. Just bought a little 86 :rice: rocket EXi Accord for dirt cheap. And now I want to tinker EFI like I do with my TA.
I've started reading a little bit about the ECU exploits here on Accords, and I have to say, the 82-92 Camaro/Firebird scene has WAY more stuff going on in terms of tuning. I don't know the import scene at all, but I always thought the Honda boyz :rolleyes: were all over it, I have to say I've been surprised so far.
Anyways, I thought I'd do some PROM burning, until finding out the Honda ECM doesn't even have a PROM? At least that's what I thought I'd read. So, started reading lots about swapping to GM ECM's, which really put a bee in my bonnet :lol: , didn't think I'd ever see that!
Anyways, I'd like some info on what ECM you swap to in the GM family, the 730 SD MAP system? I've heard the 165 ECM, but I know that the 165 is a ECM from my car, and is set up for MAF. Other choices maybe 749(Sy/Ty, Turbo Sunbird, Quad-4's, etc)? I have access to everything I need from junkyard, and other sources, so it's not a prob finding this stuff at all. For those who are, what Mask(ex.$6E) and BCC(ex. ARAP) did you start with for tinkering?
Also, any info on a cheap junkyard turbo setup? I have access to probably most/all of what I need, just need some info on what to go after.
Thanks,
-Dustin
