All EU markets and Middle East still are AP1 F20C
They're AP2's -- check the VIN. AP is chassis designation. They're just F20C equipped.

Because talking to the UK Distributor of Hondata the KPRO isn't workable for the UK ECU's.

There is no harness for the Hondata K-Pro at the moment, the wiring is quite different from what I'm told. I believe there are also software differences between the AP1 and AP2 ECUs although I do not know what.

@takeshi, all F20C equipped cars are AP1 unless they've had they're engine swapped out then who knows . Even the 09 car in the UK has an AP1 chassis number it's easily confused with the facelift car which coincided in the US with the introduction of the F22C engine and so many people think that the cars with the newer bumpers are all AP2 .

You can use a MoTeC ECU. Pricey but it works. You will need the M800 to get all the functions, you can a plug/play unit for about 5,000 USD.
ViPEC is less than half the cost of a MoTeC with all the same functionality.

I hope you are sitting down Yankee


I've been quoted a wallet busting $3600 by the UK distributor of ViPec to buy it and get it installed and initial tune so I can drive the car away.

I'm picking myself up from the floor.

Have you looked at Greddy Emanage Ultimate? I understand it would work with DBW F20C for FI.

Meeting with Mase on the 4th.
So we will see if his handywork gets us a step closer.


But keeping all options open.
Would like some FI go-go for the good weather.
