ok so i have had a look/search and cant find a compilation of all info needed to make the oem dash stuff work without an engine running etc since modern stuff needs the ecu.
so im gonna collect a bunch of info and then compile it all for the wiki, atleast thats my plan.
so a few questions for the brains trust..
those of you who have done a conversion with a relatively new car, how did you get the speedo tacho fuel gauge to work?
how did you get electronic power steering to work?
how did you interface with the ecu and or canbus?
at evworks they converted a few focuses for the government and they made a little pulse generator to trick the ecu in to thinking the car was running so that it would all light up.
tim there is wanting to do something like that for his rx8 but hasnt had much luck so far.
using a basic aftermarket ecu would probably make things easier as then it can be put in to any car.
ps: may ask some dumb/common sense questions but i want to be thorough!
thanks !
