Write to Hondata. Maybe if enough folks do they'll actually release something for the J-series motors.

Hondata will probably show interest soon enough with J's being dumped in EG/EK/DC/etc cars now.

handata wants nothing do do with Jseries ecus.

i have written them multiple times. ended up going with a piggyback once and an AEM EMS the next time i needed it. such garbage.

The funny thing is that Hondata has already worked on the J-series ECU's. They modified the Ridgeline ECU that ran in the BAJA a few years back.

And even that would be fine (a simple ecu flash). I really don't want a J-pro anyways for the Ridgeline as it is not a 'performance' vehicle that I'll be tuning on the dyno, but a little better throttle response, shift points and engine management would be nice.

There are a ton of Ridgelines and Pilots out there that would gladly pay ~$250 for a good ECU mod.

i really really want to trade my pilot in on a ridgeline...and boost it. lack of engine managment is a real turn off though. seems like the only thing available is the AEM FIC, or SAFC.
