#1- there is no replacement ECU out yet. Wait a few months, then buy the AEM. Hondata sucks, they're not going to offer anything for our engines.
#2- RSX injectors fit, that's about it. The fuel system is not easy unless you convert to return style, then it's just expensive.
#3- go to http://www.7thgencivic.com, look around in the forced induction forum.
#4- no more caps lock.

The actual EMS for the 01+ civic should be out by summer of next year.
Or so said the tech at AEM that is getting really tired of me calling once a week and asking if they're working on it.

why not quit calling and just wait, calling and bugging the crap out of them isnt gona get it here any faster... all that does is get buggy 1/2 tested products on the market.

No, what it does combined with other people calling is show AEM that there is a demand for that particular product. They were originally never going to offer an EM2 EMS until about 30 people started calling and showing them that there is a demand. We keep calling to show there is still a demand, so that they will not quit halfway through development and start working on something else before this box is ready to go to market. The same thing happened with Tein, Arias, Crower, and many other manufacturers. They were not going to offer anything until a bunch of people started calling and showing interest in the product, and now we have products from every one of those companies available for our cars as an off the shelf item instead of custom build.
Ever heard of the squeaky wheel gets the grease? The perseverant customer gets their product.

That would be cool - RC's will fit too. Only thing about the RSX injectors - they are a direct drop in, no modificaiton necessary (ok, I lied - you need longer fuel rail mounting studs). Every other injector you try will require clips and/or resistors....
