Any issues using Integra Type S ecu for cloning?

[S2K_FD3S]

Hi all
I've searched but haven't really found an answer.
Are there any issues with cloning a DE5 ecu to our FL5 ecu? I'm wondering because it looks like DE5 ecu are half the price of FL5 ecu which is odd.

1/2 the price probably because they aren’t coming from Japan. Just a guess. Otherwise…I have no idea if you could “clone” it into an FL5 version. Seems like you theoretically could. You might have to be the Guinea Pig tho.

This is a common practice and one that we recommend to save some cash.

So no cons?
If were to send you a DE5 ecu, you can unlock it and clone it with my FL5 ecu? And hondata flash pro will work fine?

Yes, we offer this service in partnership with Derek Robinson at IMW and he completes several for us each week. He is very quick to turn them around as well.

Does a clone ecu work w/ just switch them each other?
Immobilizer, too?

I had mine done by @Jester04 and everything works as it should.

awesome!! Just bought a used DE5 ecu. Can't wait to get this car tuned

On a basic level can anyone explain what does/doesn't get cloned? Ie, does the odometer get cloned too or is that data actually stored somewhere else? Swapping cloned ECU's won't change the actual mileage on the car right?

EDITED: From what I gathered it does NOT store mileage in the ecu

 

[EJHonda]

Yes, true, from what I've been told. It's not a fool proof method of hiding your tuning from Honda. It supposedly keeps counters of key turns and mileage, which are also store elsewhere on the car, so with some diagnostics it will be evident that it's been tampered with.
