Is wiring in an Honda ecu the fastest cheapest best way to start tuning a 3sgte? Post your opinions and what you think is best option for EM for the 3sgte budget conscious.

Retrofitting a p28 into a 3sgte is like retrofitting shoe laces into crocs.

Forget the Honda ecu. That was an old hack, and you had to go through the trouble of making a custom distributor for it. Its really not worth it.

For my car I built a Megasquirt DIYPNP kit. I spent about $500 bucks and soldered it up myself. You can also buy the pre-assembled unit for $800. Its a full featured EMS and works with the stock distributor and all of the factory sensors. You really can't beat it. I'm surprised more people haven't jumped into building one since I got mine running.

Here is my initial start up video on the base map.

Love old hacks, anyone want to start up a nostalgia thread?

Tricks like the cold start injector with the resistor?
