Hondata locked to old ECU & Engine
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2023 6:34 am
Hello,
I have an issue with my Hondata being locked to my original ECU which had to be replaced. My son blew the engine in my 8th gen 2009 Civic Si, and through the process we purchased a new ECU, and an engine. I am hesitant to try and put the old ECU back in to the engine (to unlock it), as they had to modify the wiring harness to accept a different K20 variant.
Is it possible to send you the old ECU, and my Hondata for you to unlock if for me? I'm unsure if my Hondata will actually work on the new engine/ECU combo, but would like the ability to try, and if it doesn't work, would be able to sell it.
Thanks in advance!
