Background:
I am putting together an Excel spreadsheet that captures the wiring details when installing a Programmable Engine Management System (PEMS) on the 2006+ Civics. I have the pinout descriptions for the stock Engine Control Module (ECM) (details on the stock ECM can be found in this thread) already populated and am looking to acquire more information to complete the spreadsheet and this post. With that being said, I am hoping to receive input on the following:

1. A concise list of PEMSs that have an application available for the 2006+ Civic (information to be incorporated into this post).
2. A concise list of PEMSs that are adapted/being adapted for the 2006+ Civic (information to be incorporated into this post).
3. A concise list of PEMSs that are in development for the 2006+ Civic (information to be incorporated into this post).
4. For each PEMS, a description of the engine management functions provided/limitations when using on the 2006+ Civic (information to be incorporated into this post).
5. For each PEMS, a pinout description and wiring diagrams/instructions (information to be incorporated into the spreadsheet and later added to this post).
6. An accessories list to detail information on additional sensors that can be added to most of the below PEMSs.

PEMSs Available: AEM F/IC, Greddy e-Manage Ultimate...Others?

AEM F/IC:
Overview: The F/IC gives users with OBD-II race vehicles and non-factory forced induction systems the ability to retard ignition and deliver accurate amounts of fuel without the need for outdated FMUs or “boost hiding” controllers. This system works parallel to the factory ECU preventing tuning limitations due to complex factory timing patterns.

Pinout Description/Wiring Diagram/Instructions:
The below images include extractions from the Excel spreadsheet that I put together from reading the AEM F/IC installation manual. I am hoping that someone that has the AEM F/IC installed on their 2006+ Civic can verify the information. Specifically, I am not sure about connections 1, 13, and 16 on the 24 pin connector.

Greddy e-Manage Ultimate:
Overview: The GReddy e-manage Ultimate is as close to a stand-alone management system as you can get while maintaining the best features of a "piggy-back" engine management; an economical price, the usage of existing sensors, the ability to easily alter factory settings and not having to tune from scratch. But unlike the original e-manage, the Ultimate is more refined, requiring specific application usage (which we are constantly adding application updates that you can download FREE via greddy.com, Tech WebPages.) The benefit of this is, the included PC-based USB "Ultimate Support Tool" allows for even finer tuning capabilities, improved flexibility in fuel & ignition control and adds impressive data-logging qualities to make tuning quicker and easier. The increased number of input and output ports of the Ultimate, along with new built-in adapters add many new options to the unit. In addition to standard e-manage airflow-based adjustments, the Ultimate version includes new and upgraded features. The Parameter Set-up, tab menu format of the Ultimate has improved direct Map control for adding and subtracting Fuel and Ignition. The ability to switch between 2 preset tuning Maps (i.e. Street or Race program) via externally mounted toggle switches. There are Maps for Individual cylinder adjustment for both Fuel and Ignition. There are also options to convert injection and ignition systems (i.e. group or sequential injection and group or individual fire ignition.) An Airflow Output Map option even allows for airflow meter elimination. And when used with a wideband A/F Meter, the Air Fuel Target Map can self-tune an Injector base tuning Map, to speed up initial tuning. There are also built-in Boost, Rev and Speed Limiter-Cut features. To create super smooth operation, there are various fine tuning Correction Maps to adjust for Throttle Acceleration, Vehicle Speed, Water Temp, Intake Temp, Auto Trans Shift, Anti Engine Stall, and Idle. To further aid in tuning, e-manage Ultimate’s improved integrated Monitoring, Map Tracing and Datalogging features far exceed any other piggyback controller on the market. Even when not connected to the software, 8 channels of datalogging (at 20msec intervals) can be recorded and stored to be reviewed later. With the Support Tool connected, over 30 channels can be covered. Other new features include: Improved RPM recognition, Warning Settings, Password Protection for individual tuning Maps, NVCS (Nissan), VTEC (Honda), O2 Feed-back, Clean Fouled Plugs, and numerous others in future updates. Ideal for optimizing and fine-tuning for performance products like Exhaust, Air Intake, Intercoolers, Boost Controllers, and Turbochargers, the e-manage Ultimate fills the gaps between conventional piggyback and expensive stand-alone engine managements. All installation and tuning should only be made by a trained technician with proper air/fuel monitoring tools. (Some or all functions may not be compatible with some applications).

Pinout Description/Wiring Diagram/Instructions:
The below images include extractions from the Excel spreadsheet that I put together from reading the Greddy e-Manage Ultimate installation manual. I am hoping that someone that has the Greddy e-Manage installed on their 2006+ Civic can verify the information, identify what wires are not used, and fill in the areas with question marks.

PEMSs Adapted/Being Adapted: AEM EMS (Being Adapted), Greddy V-Manage (Being Adapted), Haltech E8v2 (Being Adapted), Hondata K-Pro (Adapted), MoTeC MX00 (Adapted), Vishnu Exede (Being Adapted)...Others?

AEM EMS (Being Adapted):
They have been working on the 2006+ Civic for several years. On a positive note, I have heard that they have an offering for the 2006 S2000 that has DWB and is CAN based like our cars.

Greddy V-Manage (Being Adapted):
Overview: The V-Manage, Variable Valve Timing Controller was designed by GReddy engineers to take advantage of some of the modern technology OE Manufactures* are now commonly incorporating into their latest engines. Based on the intuitive controls, datalogging and Maps of the e-manage Ultimate software, a tuner with a laptop computer, can now alter the factory’s ECU control of valve-timing at any RPM and load to optimize power output and fuel economy. However by purchasing GReddy's application specific V-manage Kits, you can simply "plug & play." V-manage Kits, include the V-manage, CD software, Plug-in Harness with adapter, and Pre-programmed MAP to optimise cam timing for increase horsepower, toque, and boost response.

Notes Regarding the Below Pin Connections:

1. For WB02 Sensor: Any single auxiliary, injector, or ignition output can be used for the heater control wire.
2. For WB02 Sensor: Connect to power source (same wire as A26 after the "12V From ECU Relay").
3. Outputs marked with * do not have a recirculation diode; reference the section on Output Specifications in the User Manual for more details.
