Very cool! Glad to see anyother D16Y5 swap out there.

Last time I checked northwest was trying to get $400 ish for their chipped ECU, tune, and jumper harness. You also would not need to run these expensive 5 wire O2 sensors, EGR, and several other things that are alot of $$$. So while it might cost a little up front, at least you don't have to buy $200 O2 sensors anymore and make it a much more predictable drive.
