Which ECU for the Honda S2000 AP2 2006–09 (F22C1, DBW)?
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 49” counts the stock functions at least one ECU here wires.
Most complete
Emtron KV16
Can carry 49 of 49 stock functions, with 26 spare outputs and 14 spare inputs left.
Smallest that keeps every engine function
Emtron KV8
106 ECU pins, and still gives up nothing.
“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.
