Friend doesn't say what mods were carried out. If the engine was spec'd for the States - well, they only do 65mph (just kidding!).
No, I wouldnt agree. We can remap the OEM ecu amd It can use the sensors to monitor the engine reasonably well..

My engine for example only uses the standard wiring for: starter motor, and water temp

Mine's a 2.33 too.

Question

David,

So you use knowledge to re-map the OEM ECU - that was my point. When say "We", is this your business, or do you mean that it can be done in general?

Cheers

It can be done, I have done stuff with the oem 92-96 but decided it wasnt good enough for my needs, so I use an Autronic SM2
