Soo my best friend who is my tuner threw out the idea of converting my CA to be run off a Honda ecu, ignition and harness.
So im like why the **** not, theirs soo much aftermarket tuning support for hondas.
Anyways the main concern I had was how am I gonna mount the Honda Distributor to the camshaft.
Well some of the honda distributors are actually very simple. Take a look at the ends.

Soo one way I thought about doing it is by making a adaptor on the cam gear where the 4 bolts are and weld a female end to the adaptor, maybe have it professional milled through a friend.
Heres what im talkin about.

The rest is simple stuff like wiring, adding Honda sensors etc etc.
Now your probably thinking why switch over. Well why not they are great systems and with Neptune its insane. Also I havent seen it done in the Nissan community, Toyota community do it quite a bit. Plus I love pushing myself to do new things.
Now dont get me wrong their is nothing wrong with Megasquirt, I love the damn thing couldnt be happier with it, its just I like to try new things see if it can be done maybe give someone new hope to give it a shot. Look at when I did megasquirt it was practically unheard of in the CA community and because of my help and write up its becoming insanely popular. Plus im thinking converting to Honda stuff will cost less than megasquirt too. The ecu can be had for about $17-$50, a harness about $30-$50 as well, sensors for about $50, than its pick your tuning software. I will be going with Neptune and is $100 license fee but unlimited tunes afterwards.

If successful expect a full write up with tons of pics.
