Have no idea where the USD6,500 price comes from. Would be under USD4,000 including the adapter loom to go between the M150 and the original factory OEM ECU connector. |
Thanks, I'll update that if I can get an accurate price. Problem with Motec for one-off swaps is, I was under the impression that while they support the GT86 CAN, you have to buy a build package or development license ($$$) if you're going to swap engines.
If that is incorrect or not completely accurate, please correct me. Are either of those swaps you mentioned going to be available as a package or kit?
Please feel free to correct any of the following statements as well: "Under 4000" is still a lot of money, considering many other aftermarket ECU's with CAN connections sell for under $2000. The patch loom is great and all, but anyone swapping is going to have to wire up the new engine as well, which would involve another patch loom and adapted harness on the engine side. I was under the impression that re-pinning the few factory wires that need to be kept to the new ECU plug, wiring in the engine, and stripping out any unnecessary factory wires was a much cleaner way to do it.
