If I wanted to be really crude, and if the information required is *just* the trigger wheel data, I could probably get a test rig with a TA card, the BrickEMS VR conditioner you sent put together really quick with the motor out of the car (and the oil put back in the crank case) and do some cranking.
Conditions i am considering with the ECU now, a year later:
- TA card builds tend to be tedious, one-off, and contribute as an individual endeavor, but have mixed use to the community and can be taxing to the existing dev resources. But I've got two, so I already partially bit into that apple a year ago.
- Dev cards in production may better fit my requirements or may influence what my configuration will be.
[*]EDIS vs CNP/COP for number of pins required vs wasted spark
--> Likely skipping the ECU controlled distributor option for now.
[*]MAP vs MAF
[*]Electric Fan Control (I am not retrofitting a mechanical fan, so I'll probably be using the water sensor feed to drive a separate circuit outside ECU control)
[*]X300 intake manifold vs XJ40 intake manifold
X300 and XJ40 manifolds differ in the MAF options provided, the injector types (AFAIK)
-->Wiring for full sequential, but likely reducing for batch-fire on the ECU side.
