Thread: Honda ECU

I did not say Nistune isn't worth it. I say it still costs a pretty penny. $676.50 for a Type 4 board + install + USB cable + software, or maybe a little less if you get it from AutoVaughn? EDIT: Yes, $565.00

If I had a Nistune, I would also hold on to it, tighter than to the Calum, but I see no reason to jump from a Calum RT to a Nistune though.

So with Nistune ruled out for now, please help me see the light to get out of the cave. What have we got that is NOT standalone and cost nearly $1K? Of course I would be more than happy to go standalone...

Megasquirt? (supposedly not costly but a headache to implement by yourself or $$$ to pay someone to install it anyway)
Honda ECU? (Again, not costly but some work to implement and do you have to burn chips for it or is it realtime?)
Piggy-backs? (E-Manage Blue / Ultimate, SAFC, Others?)

Another company called Bibki-rom has a realtime ecu they have been out for ages. Also the $675 you quoted ($676.50) is in AUD for the US market it's about $618. Tho that isn't right either because you won't be shipping your ECU to AUS to get it installed and it would be done locally at a TV/VCR repair shop or some other electronic place that will charge you $25. The price would be $557.97 from nistune with prob 8-12 shipping. I don't remember seeing anyone saying to give up the calum realtime?

Well, I am not talking only about me but about options for the SR20 now and the Calum ECU has to be given up because it is no more, unless you have one like me or happen to get one 2nd hand.

So right now Nistune at $565.00 it is. Does Bikirom or Enthalpy ECUs work on B13 and B14? Or just RWD ECUs?

Last time I checked the bibiki will work with the B13 ecu never looked into the B14. In the end I didn't go with them because I heard some bad stuff about the owner. I chose nistune in the end because I heard nothing but good things about Matt. I started with the Nistune software 1st on my calum basic board, loved it so I ordered a Type 2 board for my RB in my 240 then ordered the type 3 to replace the basic I had in my NX. As for specs Bibik is more powerful but I'd rather have good customer service if I have a problem.
