It seems AEM has recently developed a new piggyback engine management system that is programmable by the end-user. Not sure if anyone has used it on a protege yet, but it looks like it may be a viable option for those of us that need to maintain the OBD2 system so that our cars can pass emissions testing.
From AEM's Website:

<TABLE cellSpacing=10 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=bottom noWrap align=left>Fuel / Ignition Controller</TD><TD vAlign=bottom noWrap align=right></TD></TR><TR><TD align=left colSpan=2>The AEM F/IC is an economical solution for controlling fuel and ignition on vehicles that do not require stand-alone engine management, including variable cam timing engines like VTEC, VVTi and MiVEC.
OVERVIEW
The F/IC gives users with OBD-II 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forced induction systems the ability to retard ignition and deliver accurate amounts of fuel without the need for outdated FMUs or boost hiding controllers.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 and will not cause a check engine light (CEL).
PRECISE FUEL DELIVERY
The F/IC intercepts the signal to the stock injectors, allowing the user to modify pulse-width by +/-100%. The F/IC is the only piggy-back system that can decrease injector pulse-width, allowing the user to drive larger aftermarket injectors* while still maintaining proper air / fuel ratios. This powerful system can also tap into the factory injector signal and work independently to drive up to six (6) additional injectors.
TIMING RETARD CONTROL
The F/IC has the ability to retard timing by intercepting and delaying the outputs from the cam and crank position sensors to the engine- with no adverse affect on applications equipped with variable cam timing. The F/IC can retard timing from the factory system based on engine RPM and load inputs.
SENSOR CALIBRATION & CONTROL
The F/IC can also be used to recalibrate / clamp the MAF sensor, eliminating common problems with non-boosted factory MAFs. The on-board MAP sensor allows for proper fueling in boosted applicatons.
PLUG & PLAY HARNESSES- COMING SOON!
<TABLE width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD>
</TD><TD>To ease the installation of the F/IC, AEM will soon offer plug and play wiring harnesses for select applications, making the F/IC a true Plug and Play module. The first harnesses developed will be for the Nissan 350Z, Scion tC and Acura RSX. Pricing and availability coming soon. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
CAN-BUS SYSTEMS NOT AFFECTED
Since the F/IC works in conjunction with the factory ECU, late model-vehicles equipped with a CAN-BUS system retain functionality of climate controls, dash and other components on the network.
VALIDATED APPLICATION LISTING
The F/IC has been tested and validated for the following applications:
