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.
Nice deal and set up. I almost want to experiment with this, but I don't want to lose my OBD2 port's functionality. I have looked at SAFC2 units, which can be even cheaper, but seems to require some splicing. I have not been willing to take the leap (yet). Anything I do will have to be reversible for the emissions inspection. And swapping from the DX to the CX transmission was a ig enough task for this month.

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.
