I have a 2007 TSX and am putting the drivetrain and wiring harness in another car. Hondata says they offer nothing for it as far as ECU programming for engine swaps.
Basically, I just need a good stand alone ECU. What are some good recommendations for it?

I'm assuming it's an ECU for an automatic transmission then? Hondata will absolutely tune 2007+ manual ECU's, regardless of whether it's in a different car or not.

I don't think anyone on this forum has done anything like that... You will likely have better luck at www.k20a.org.
Tons of folks have swapped K20's and K24's into older Honda's which is the info you need with respect to stand alone EFI engine support.

To keep the original TSX ECU and harness is going to be a challenge.
How much of the original harness will you need for the TSX ECU to run the engine?

Does the ECU need the TSX power mgmnt system to run? Does it need the dash cluster to run?
What about the immobilizer system? TPMS? VSA? ABS?
Hopefully it will be a manual transmission.

Is there anyone that can disable these systems in the TSX ECU firmware? Perhaps Little Bo or someone similar?

Yes. It is an automatic.

Those are all the questions I have and am trying to get. I am 51 and have hip/Lower back issues so a manual is out of the question.
I do plan on disconnecting things to see if I can get answers to some of those questions.
I'm guessing that the Transmission has its own control unit but it could be in the ECU. Need to know that too.
Thanks for the referral...
