Platforms
The ECUs I know from the inside
I work at firmware level, so each new controller family is a study in its own right. This is where I stand on each one, and the list is growing beyond Honda.
Civic 9th gen 1.8 (R18)
Engine and 5-speed automatic in one controller. My main development car: turbocharged, on its factory ECU, with more than a hundred firmware builds behind it.
Deepest platform Honda · Renesas SH-2ACivic X 1.8 CVT
Sibling controller to the 9th gen. A 7-step manual mode with button paddles, driven on the road, and more in development.
Features driven Mitsubishi · M32RPajero 3.0 V6 automatic
A different manufacturer and a different processor. I have mapped the engine and gearbox software. No modifications yet.
In studyNot on the list?
Most of my Honda work carries over to sibling controllers of the same family, and I have already mapped three of them against my main platform. For anything else, the first step is a read of your ECU and a short feasibility study. Tell me what you drive.
Have a car the usual tools cannot touch?
Tell me the car, the engine, the gearbox and what you want it to do. I reply to every serious enquiry.
