I would like to turn off the variable cylinder management temporary. My dealer says... not possible. Canīt he turn it off with his Honda Diagnostic System Tester?

I don't think that would be possible... it would be nice, but not likely. What might work would be a manual ECU... but even that is conjecture

Not possible, its a seamless funtion of the ECM and why would you? It only engages at crusing speed and saves you gas. The HDS does not let us turn off VCM

That's problematic. The circuitry for the automatic transmission is not in the 6-6 ECU.... The 6-6 is so different for 2008 I have ended up wondering what they're up to with producing such a strange car in such small numbers.

My sincere advice would be to abandon this idea immediately. It's not a single circuit. It's very complicated and there is interoperability with any number of other systems, some of which might be adversely affected.

I cannot think of anybody who knows enough right now to accomplish what you're asking about, and I think it's honestly just too potentially hazardous to the operation of your car.

Why do you even want to do this?

To true... there is a J35Z TL car that is auto though. worth a try if your TL friend has his car laying around. but GK is correct, the whole exercise is futile I believe


I want to try the TL type S 6 speed ECU in my car... it rated/governed to 150 mph where as the 08 coupe is limited to 130 mph
