[RESOLVED] Swaping turbo ECU In my turbo 420a??

[Car_guy_09]

Is it possible to take a turbo 4g63 ECU and put it in my turbo 420a? I searched first but really could not find anything. I was thinking about getting a turbo parts car so i could swap the mas and all the sensors. The main reason i want to do this is tuning since there are many tunning solutions for the 4g63 and the turbo ecu is meant for boost. It may be a dumb question but i wanted to find out for sure.

I want to just tell you no, but since almost anything is possible, I just strongly say it's unlikely to work for you. I'd suggest a megasquirt or some other standalone ECU.

I know they've gotten DSMLink to work on several applications other than DSM's, so I don't see why not... as long as you can configure the proper sensors, I suppose its possible. MegaSquirt would definitely be easier (and probably cheaper) to install.

yea dsmlink is the main reason i would do the ecu swap. I surprised that nobody has already done this How hard is it to setup ms? Can i just use it to control fuel?

Yes you can use MS to control just fuel for now. Later on you can get it to control spark also.

It's pretty simple to setup too. You won't need to mess around with retrofitting crank angle or cam position sensors since MS has 420A support built right in. You'll simply need to install two new temperature sensors and run wires to all you other pre-existing sensors.

UHm, well, I would strongly encourage for you to NOT try swapping the ECU. Not enough people with the 420a have done it so when you run into problems it's all on you and you could be SOL if things go bad. There are many other practical and realistic options for a successful set-up and swapping the 4g63 ECU into the 420a is not one of them. If you ask me, of course.. Just my .02...

Ok looks like it would be more than it worth which is what i thought but wanted to know for sure. Thanks guys
