Seems too obvious and maybe I'm missing something but here goes. . .

Type-S cams, Type-S pistons, Type-S ECU and USDM ATTS ECU

greddy emanage ultimate

or the type S ecu which will likely be VERY pricey and even more rare.

wrong. It may be a seperate from the ECU but it needs the Type SH ecu to function.

You have just about two options for new OTS parts
VAFC
Greddy Emanage Ultimate

keep your stock P5M ecu and use those for your tuning. If you want decent power upgrades across the board you can make them with your stock valvetrain and the Type S parts....I would suggest since you are doing alot of head and block work already to spend the extra money and go with valves, valve springs and retainers, and go with a bigger cam if you plan on tuning....but thats my .02

for keeping ATTS
join the club of SH tuners.......welcome to our headache

Research more before posting again, you dont have a clue. The type - S ecu wont be smog legal, none of the type-s gear will be smog legal either. If you are really worried about being legal its got to be CARBed with a sticker and number. You might be able to pass the sniffer test with that gear, but in a real inspection by a referee you would fail.

just because it says spoon doesnt mean it is better....and to top it off its for a civic. You may be able to get away with it....so go right ahead, but be forwarned. I dont condone doing that
