Dream comes true

Dont get too excited, this is not a proper GDI ecu, it doesnt have internal high voltage injector drivers, or high current internal P&H pump drivers, it will only work with DI engines that have a factory DI driver box.

so that voodoo pro is actually the successor to the thunder?

The IO count and intent is similar to the Thunder (less DI's but more ign/inj/aux outputs) and is probably the closest we will have for a while.  A&B connector pinouts are directly compatible, the third connector (now labelled E) pinout is totally different.

Couldn't an external box just be used for any DI engine? 

Most of the OEM one's like toyota 86 etc are designed only to drive a specific injector and pump.  All the voltages and P&H times and currents etc are not configurable.  So they may or may not work on a different engine depending on how similar the hardware is.  I have seen for example Emtron supply a 2nd hand Toyota driver box with their Honda L15 plugin kit, which is ok if you sell enough to justify all the testing to verify the injectors work at all pulse widths etc, but for the typical end user it would be a lot of work when there is potential that it wont work at the end of it...  

There are a few aftermarket user configurable driver options, but they are quite pricey.  Cosworth IDU1 can do 6 cyl for ~USD$3000.  Bosch Hpi5 can do 8cyl + 2 x pumps ~USD$2000.  Syvecs have a one capable of 10cyl + 2 pumps and well priced ~USD$1000, but is not really what I would call configurable - you have to order to spec.  There are a couple of others such as life racing etc but only do 4 inj and dont have pump drivers.

Will it works for Honda L15B standalone wiring race car? Sorry that I don't know much about the technical issue.
