I looked into the products that are available. It is a huge price into the market of DI control and tuning is intense. The factory ecu is already done and at OE level of accuracy. It is hard to beat. I keep the EIS and Keys but other than that the stock ecu is working with my automatic transmission controller. I have the steering lock in my car but emulators can be used very cheap. I can program up to 8 keys and it is still below what it normally costs to buy an ecu to run the engine much less tuning.
The complexity of the OEM systems is there primarily for emissions reasons. Good performance, drive-ability and fuel economy can be had with far less complexity in an application that does not require emissions controls.
The OE calibration is only any good in the OE application making the OE power, and it really isn't well understood by the aftermarket so the quality of performance tunes for the OE ECU is very poor in general.
