Update! Engine kill switch complete.
I decided to use the power steering signal, as it's unused in the Insight - this input is for the RSX's hydraulic PS. The way I set it up is as follows:
-Shifter button grounds EPS input
-ECU nitrous control #1 activates
-Nitrous control #1 adds negative 600 fuel units to the fuel map
-ECU momentarily activates the A/C compressor to stop the engine more quickly

They look great. I wonder if instead of two screen mounted on the dash, if you ever considered one of those windshield mounted rear view mirror screens.

I have, and even tried mounting one or both screens up there. I didn't like the sensation of turning my head right to look for a left hand turn. |

Ecky, you said New cameras! I like them a lot better than the old ones. What is the viewing angle of the new cameras? I have a passenger side camera that has a viewing angle of 170 degrees, and I don't find it very satisfying. I bought one that has a 120 degree angle but I haven't had the opportunity to install it.

It looks really great. What's your cruising MAP on the freeway?

I get around 380-400mbar at 55mph, 450mbar at 65mph. I want to say idle is ~250mbar so that's what, 20% and 25% load?

Wow that's low, next mod external EGR? Easy implementation would be a valve that's manually actuated via a pushrod/cable going to the cabin, sized for cruising. I believe it should help a good amount.
My feeling is that ignition timing isn't going to be too critical since the hotter IAT speeds up combustion.
