While we struggle to fix three amigos, understand GEMs reset protocol, or find a blown fuse, this guy develops twelve custom ECUs. I'm impressed.

Thank you all for the kind comments - I really look forwards to posting the finished vehicle on here, and of course all the steps from here to there !
I misunderstood RoverCanus' question I think, but to be honest, I don't have experience with re-programming the motronic ECU or indeed with SAI as we don't have it here in europe, which raises the interesting possibility - could you not just use a european ECU (assuming that's legal) ?
Speechless! The thought and engineering that is going into this is second to none!
I think RoverCanus was asking if you could reprogram OUR ecu's that have SAI to delete it. I know on my daughter's '03 it is a major pain to work around.

Does the latest ECU control 4 cams? I'm on another (Volvo) forum where some brothers who are building a righteous track car need variable cam timing on 4 cams. So far it seems that none of the aftermarket ECU's can handle it.
FWIW they are using the Volvo/Yamaha B8444 motor from the XC90. Same motor Noble used in the M600.
If it's the same as the noble, then it's it's the ford V6 duratec unit which as you say has 4 cams, but is only variable on 2 of them (inlets variable, exhaust fixed). That is unless your brothers are running some clever kit
That said, the EMUIV can handle 4 cam sensing and variable timing on all inlets and exhausts. That and the ability to control direct injection makes it unique in the aftermarket I think. But be aware that I am still testing it at the moment. If it is only 2 variable cams, then EMUIII and indeed a few other aftermarket units should be able to drive that
I just read the entire thread.
Coolio about the ecu shit...from someone whose done stupid shit with a d2...this ain't much different
And that gentlemen, is what a 5 litre supercharged Jaguar V8 looks like in the engine bay for a TD5 !
What all was involved to make this work? Please tell more!!!!
