generation. The kit is composited by several PCBs and cable harnesses that
connect PCBs together and to engine control circuit.

DCD-440 System Kit is suitable for 4-cylinder engine with SFI and regular
heated O2 sensor. Its engineering sample is available now. Road driving test
on a 1.6L AT vehicle results a 9.8% fuel saving at 30 MPH cruise speed.
Stop-and-go test around the city block could go up to 13% savings. I think
I need to find some other vehicles to repeat the tests, thus to verify the
nice fuel saving result. Trying is believing. Is anybody interested in installing
and playing with this magic gadget?
Many of us have cars that fit this description. I believe "Christ" said above that he would like to test it. So did "Frank Lee." I have read the whole forum, and from my perch--no expert to say the least--it looks interesting. I'm impressed with the debate. I don't have the AT you refer to here. I have a 1.6L MT four banger. I would be interested in aiding a test, but I'd like to know what you propose and if you are expecting test subjects to accept costs. Not certain I want to saddle any costs other than my time and my vehicle.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
