A third option would be to use an OBD-II protocol sniffer to pick up the data in "pure form" as it is being transferred from the HIM/HDS and written to the ECM. Extract the data, learn the coding, manipulate the coding, replicate the communications and you are set. That is another option worth considering but honestly the JDM Type R appears to be the better target ECM to use considering it has .6MB more of flash memory to use and would be easier to program.
