Which ECU for the Acura RSX Type-S 2005-06 (K20Z1)?
Every ECU below has a harness for this car. They all run the engine basics; the difference is how many of the stock ECU's other functions each one can still wire, and how much spare I/O is left for add-ons such as boost control or a wideband. “Of 51” counts the stock functions at least one ECU here wires.
Most complete
Haltech Nexus S3 HT-213000
Can carry 49 of 51 stock functions, with 5 spare outputs and 4 spare inputs left.
“Smallest” is by pin count, not price. Picks come from harnesses with no validation errors.

Categories are read from the stock pin names and are a guide; each item shows its full stock name. Power and ground pins aren't compared, since every harness powers and grounds the ECU. Prices aren't considered. Always check the harness's own findings before building.
