ok so if the signals that are sent back to the ecu to form the map are factory then shouldn't a factory ECU be sufficient?
hmmmm and, why do you think i would need a rewire? do aftermarket ECU's come with their own loom?
it is possible that the ecu that used to be in there was just a piggy back on the OEM, the guy i bought it off didnt seem very sure about alot of it... he told me the previous owner had an aftermaket ecu - didnt specify what kind or type - with a hole cut in the glovebox for access to the ecu or something with a plug in it so you could plug in a controller and adjust shit. judging by the 4agze technology the only thing i could see being adjustable with the setup on this engine is maybe just the A/F ratio.
ignition timing is run off the distributer.
SC clutch engages when the computer tells it to, i dont see why the when would need to be changed.
A/F ratio shouldnt need to be changed just because of a pod filter.
So yeh, i just cant see why a standalone would be required in the first place. or even a piggy back, since the only thing adjustable would be A/F ratio which would be right from factory anyway.
Am I missing something here?
