I thought I should get a my car thread up now that it's running.
Ill fill out some info in this first post later on when I have a bit of time free but the short version is:- the car began life as a 320, gained a 2.5 lump a while back and has since been running on the later 24v ECU from an E36. What this means is my wiring is the same as a M50TU engine E36, but the car is still running a M20B25.
My original intent was to use the later ECU and an EPROM emulator to get the car running on a more tunable/advanced ECU but with all the stock hardware still working as it should (OBC, SI unit, Tach, Econometer etc).
That has kind of fallen apart over the last year as there is just not enough info on the OEM to get it really running properly on the 12v engine.
This is where the rusEFI comes in, my plan is to first get the car running well with the existing functions and then look at being able to replicate the OEM ecu outputs that run the additional bits on the E30 for a seamless install.
Now that my Frankenso is built and the car is running to some extent I need to start documenting the wiring and looking at getting some of these features working.
