Just wanted to add 2 cents on my install. Took about 1 hour (I didn't do it, I am better at watching and pointing...). Reset the BTC to far left. Used to have it 2 clicks left of center to get no detonation with no passenger, no AC running. Car runs better, no detonation even going up steep hills in 5th with the AC blasting (it was ~90 F). I notice that my A/F meter now reads rich during part throttle accel. Before it would still be cycling and that is when I would get detonation. I do notice that it tends to cycle a little more on the rich side during highway speeds, maybe it is my imagination. All in all, I am pleased with this band aid. Gonna do Hondata ASAP, though.

For those members who live at higher elevations, the MAP controller may cause a CEL since the MAP voltages will be higher than the barometric sensor within the ECU.

I ordered mine, and might install it this week. We'll see if Denver causes this error or not.

What exactly does that MAP controller do? It sounds like it is just a MAP sensor voltage clamp, though it adds something... some sort of fuel intervention that adds some injector duty during tip-in?

I did have the btc setting all the way to the left and a couple of times, when I got on it hard, I could hear slight pinging. When I give it 1 click to the right, nothing! I run normal 16 degree stock time and run Sunoco 94 octane, so if your running a lower octane you may need a little more retard in the btc setting. Please note that at partial throttle there was no tip-in detonation at all, even all the way to the left. I am extremely happy with my car now, even at 6 PSI...It's strong!

Well I've been running the car at 16deg since day one..no detonation whatsoever...I installed the JR BTC..duh..overkill...needless to say, setting is at 0 click mark...i don't need I'll waste the $$$ on the JR MAP. It's funny, every car is diff. as far as detonation goes..

I get codes from time to time since installing it. Mine is throwing too rich/ too lean though (code 45).

What is involved in the installation of this MAP converter?

Install a small adaptor under the MAP sensor, "T" into a boost line, and wire six wires at the ECU. It is pretty straight forward.
Watch the directions... the wire colors and the pin locations my NOT match.
