ca18Volvo Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Hi, I have a Volvo 240 which has had a Nissan CA18det engine conversion. It is currently running an Apexi Power FC ECU. I'm thinking about putting something that isn't 20+ year old technology in there and the Link G4X plugin was my preferred choice. I am a complete noob/idiot when it comes to all this, so am really looking for some advice from people with more knowledge and experience than me to help out. Thing that i would like to achieve with this are: MAP based tuning (rather than the 30 year old Nissan Maf currently on there) ECU based boost control (rather than an add on JDM boost controller currently stuck in my volvo) Wideband o2 sensor (added safety cutoff) Bosch E-throttle DBW Exhaust butterfly valve (controlled by ECU) Should i be looking at changing the 30year old Nissan CAS??? I then want to use the old switches on the volvo 240 centre console to activate certain things: on-on-on switch for Exhaust valve, position1 valve always closed, position2 valve controlled by ECU (open after 4k), position3 always open off-(on) switch to activate cruise controll (on)-off-(on) switch to increase or decrease cruise control speed off-on switch to set a rev limit of 4k for if i let someone i don't trust drive the car Four position rotary switch off-on-on-on for launch control , off-3k-4k-5k. A hidden switch off-on than works as a kill switch cutting fuel and ignition (will be turned off manually every time the car is parked) Attached a pic as an example of the type of switches... In my head this is something a £1600+ standalone ECU should be capable of, but i need to know if its actually applicable in real life. What work arounds would be required to make it work etc. Thanks for any help, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca18Volvo Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 From reading other posts it sounds like my biggest problem may be lack of i/o interfaces? A solution to this may be something like the EcuMaster Can Switch Board v3? Does this information sound correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Does your car have the 64pin or 76pin ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
