A chipped 3.5 Legend isn't the same as chipping an RL

Although i guess it would work.

no it wouldn't.

the ECU in the RL is OBDII. Almost every system, including the ABS and stability control, interact with the ECU.

The ECUs are comprised of completely different architectures lol.

I looked into it a few years ago... The MCU is flash programmable but figuring out how to interface and flash it would be the problem. If it's anything like other Honda OBD2 systems its pretty much locked down.

Yeah then it just becomes a "why" issue I suppose... "Why" spend all the time cracking it if 9/10 people are going to go with an EMS anyway.

With how complex the RL is, i'd be glad to not go EMS... factory did a great job with it... May as well just improve on the awesome base...

But i'd be that 1/10

I'd have a strong interest in a mod chip if Telion or somebody else can do something with my RL
