I know nothing about the human eye, I'm thankful for having great vision. What I do for a living is IT/Helpdesk. I solve problems so to speak, I provide a solution in a timely fashion to server issues. What I do in the garage is a different world, I fabricate custom parts (which you may show interest with your integra). Another hobby of mine is electronics, I can repair quite a few things, but my passion is hacking the circuits. I have a wealth of xbox consoles around here and even more honda ECUs.
Don't look at the ECU as a 4 cylinder civic computer, but instead as an OBD1 honda ECU with vtec output. I don't know if the 4 cylinder computer has outputs for your 6 injectors, but I do know that for the most part the rest of the pinouts are the same. It is very plausible that the alternative can work for you, I've made a hybrid engine management setup work for many-many cars. All I need is a starting point and the community enthusiasts (including me) so we can go from there.
When you define A/F ratios I hope that you are referring to wideband sensors. Face it, the narrowband sensors found on every single honda except the VX/HX civic hatch are junk - I'm actually going for a near perfect wideband tune and just turn the routine for the o2 completely off (which saves the unit from being ruined due to race fuel). Now once upon a time the 5-wire VX OBD1 sensors were the shit, they were truly the DIY approach to the much expensive wideband solution back a few years ago. I was fully about the project but by the time I got to it the price of those sensors were $300+. Right now the LSU4 bosch sensors have become dirt cheap (I mean cheap) and just about now the movement has made it for us DIY innovative guys a real dream (I'm apart of it)! I know it means nothing to the people driving 80k sports cars but it means everything to me who never lets no mechanic touch my acura.
You want to talk about making my own parts? Yes I make lots of custom parts in my own garage on my own; I spend more and more money on tools to eliminate taking things to my trusted machine shop. My current biggest venture is experimentations with shot peening (yes without an Almen gauge). I've made exhaust manifolds and I can do about any pipe. My current project car will most likely get a mild steel log manifold and complete custom charge pipes. For sway bars, the best upgrade is a Type-R with a custom made brace. I am able to do these things since I used to be a professional welder/fabricator. I still have a current business with taxes paid in full yet I seriously lack the expensive equipment I used to sport (long family story). So yes, I can just about make it all myself. I mess with electronics as a hobby (as is most things). I have over two year experience in electronics repair so the least I can do is put my skill+tools to work.
Look, I don't own an NSX, I make a fraction of what you make a year. My parents never gave me anything, the intelligence (see proper typing ability) and the cars that I obtain are all on me. So I drive a 1991 Integra Sedan.. why? Because I want to. I've had 3 other Integras and plenty of other cars, but this is what I want. I have been with the key players while the honda ECU was fully hacked. I was one of the first to develop a basemap for a boosted 91 accord (f22a1). Right now I'm nearing the top of my chipping game. I figure that the next best move would be to play with an exotic car that is still a honda.
I don't expect to get respect from you guys, I'm only here to do something different. I don't care what the rest of the doctors & lawyers say about me (my family is full of doctors and lawyers, I chose mechanics & real life above what they expected of me). If somebody shares the same passion with cars as I do than please step forward.
