Swapping ECU's?

[Nexus1155]

I have seen someone swap a Toyota ECU into a Honda, but I think they used a Toyota engine as well, it was a weird swap on honda-tech.

But that dezod thing is not the future. I don't know anyone in their right mind who would shell out $1800 for something like that vs. an excellent standalone system which would even be cheaper. Just because it requires wiring, doesn't mean its impossible to do.

I could see the use for something like that on a more expensive/exotic car, but nothing like a scion or a toyota or honda

[why?]

it depends what you want. If you don't want a straight on race car, having the ability to have the stock ecu still available is rather nice.

Thats when you just get a Greddy e-manage blue, that has already been proven to work.

Thats all that device really is is just an interceptor as well or so it seems.

I dunno, I just think it is silly, I can see spending money where money is needed. IE: name brand turbos, meth kits with failsafes, etc etc, but not something like overpriced piggybacks or .... backpurging piping when welding

Give us an example of a "excellent standalone system which would even be cheaper"
