The main relay and fuel pump relay setup is a lil different but it looks like it still takes the same positive signal from the ECU to power them up, so that should be fine!

Have you powered up the EMS? can you with out installing it? Do you know what the EMS lets you disable as way of stock sensors and such?

The crank/cyl sensor is termed differently with the Legend. the NSX uses letters (cyl A crank A) while the Legend uses numbers(crank 1 cyl 1) wonder why.

Yes I have hooked it up to my computer already and you can mess with everything. I haven't saved anything cause I need the base tuning to fire up the Legend. But you can turn off V-TEC, EGR, VIS, etc....

WHOA! I just noticed this....it seams that the Legend ECU used the same plugs for it's VIS selonoids as the NSX ECU uses for the Spool selonoids

Not sure but it's just like me saying Toe-may-toe and you saying toe-ma-toe. It should still work fine as the wiring is still the same. As long as it's a negative trigger hall effect sensor.

how about the accel pedal angle sensor? Theres already a TPS on there. TCS maybe?

Pedal angle sensor is the same as the TPS, just moved to the gas pedal.

But theres already a TPS next to it. Im guessing TCS?

I'm really learning something here, the Legend VIS system is just an early version of the V-TEC setup.

Hmmmm, must be. I wouldn't worry too much about the small stuff. We jus need to get it running first and then we can turn off different terminals and reconfigure sensors as needed using the AEM USB interface.

damn I was figuring longer than that, any idea on current shipping rates?

$10 on the first guy to blow his motor trying to do a tune with the NSX AEM.

good luck you'll need it.

exactly, cept for they used manifold flaps to control air flow instead of a different lump on the cams, timing should be pretty similar as far as the spark and fuel

Actually if you look at the computer interface any ape could do it. As long as you know the basics of how an engine works and how to read fuel/ignition maps.

na its a slow process, you gotta tune given rpm ranges first then you'll get these crossover points that you go back and fine tune, if you'd put up the $ for a new motor Id def push the envelope lol

Actually the timing on the NSX tune changes depending on weather or not the V-TEC is active or not. But then again the Legend does the same depending on if the VIS is active or not. Makes you think, doesn't it?
