I’m very naive on electronics, so don’t beat me up too much here...
What is stopping someone from swapping a motor and using the stock ecu and harness to run everything then using a product like ECUTEK or OFT to create a map/tune? The obvious obstacle is if someone swaps a motor with more cylinders then that could be a problem, but say someone did a f20, k20/24, 3sge, ej, etc, couldn’t it work?
The proposal would be to adapt the stock sensors and controllers to the swapped motor. In some cases, this may be as simple as splicing wires. In other cases, this may mean creating a custom retrofit like in the case of the throttle body and sensors/actuators, removing the new motor’s TB, make a custom bracket then mount the FA20 TB. For other sensors like the MAP sensor of AIT sensor, create bungs in the new manifold.
If this is not possible then please explain. If it is possible then what sensors or actuators would be the hardest to adapt, in general, understanding that there are differences between the different motors? If it is possible, would an ECUTEK work, and if not, what would? Would tuning be different? Could a standard map from the new motor be used?
