ok guys i have searched for a long time and this is what I have found.. there is 3 kinds of ecus for the k20a, they say that is you have the type-3 then you will need a engine managment system from hondata you can buy called the, k-pack, this can also do all your mixtures and timing. and eliminates the use of the coded key. but the type-3 comes from anything thats 02-03+. thats what I have found out any comments
