I read this article in Sport Compact Car magazine and thought why could'nt we use the k-pro unit to control everything? I just want to see what everyone has to think about this. I have the paragraph below and here is the link to the article.

"The Fit seen here uses a K20Z3 from a 2006 Civic Si, although HASport recommends using a K20A2 from an RSX Type-S, because the curled intake manifold is required to clear the radiator support. The motor is stock, except for the custom work required to squeeze it into a Fit. This includes a custom header and exhaust from Jackson Racing and a slightly shortened AEM cold air intake. The engine is managed by a Hondata K-Pro unit, which piggybacks off the stock ECU. The stock computer is still responsible for operating the gauge cluster and accessories. The Driveshaft Shop built the custom axles necessary for the swap and, of course, HASport used its billet motor mount kit. For more details, check out our Hybrid How-To piece on page 104."
