Yeah, the SECU Gold is pretty slick. Zdyne has some as-of-yet vapourware datalogging in the works that Steven/Speed_PHreak was showing me. I was told at one point that Jeff Matthews had a regular 9-5 job and that Zdyne was just a side project, so it would explain the lack up updates on the product.

Someone on HT had a line on a nifty four channel generic datalogger that interfaced with a PC for ~$40. He was supposed to get back to me when he had it worked out, as I wanted to hear details, but... you know how it goes. Time to use the search function, I guess ;)

Let's see... wideband, RPM, MAP, and ???. FYI, turbohf, datalogging the knock sensor if notthrough the ECU is going to require some finesse. The knock sensor, just like a wideband O2, needs DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to be rendered into anything useful. I'm not a big fan of the knock sensor anyway - the (Honda) ECU ignores it above 5000 rpms as it spews a lot of garbage.

Yeah, it'll handle knocking during part throttle cruise, but WOT and or over 5K rpms? The Honda ECU ignores it - it's an emissions device, not a safety device like on the Ford 2.3T for example.

You ever look into a Saab APC? Here. They can be found cheaply at junkyards, I have one.

KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid.

Easy will get you 90% there... you 90% enough of your car and it turns into a strung out cat on crack.
