Honda CRX - Dinosaur Tuning With Accel Dfi - Reachin' Back

This 10-second Honda CRX was powered by the ACCEL DFI engine management system.Before Hondata, before the A'PEXi Power FC, even before Speed Pro, there was ACCEL DFI. Pioneered by Eddie Kim and company at SoCal-based Dynamic Autosports, it was the first widely used standalone ECU adopted by Honda racers. The DFI box was key in helping drag race legend David Shih break the 10-second barrier. Honda guys could finally plug a laptop into a car and legitimize themselves as tuners. No more boost-dependent fuel pressure regulators or silly timing retarding boxes. Old-school tuners knew that once that little joke of a pixilated car made its way across the DOS-based screen they were on their way to making real power, which in those days was only about 350 whp but that's beside the point.
