Bolting the thing up is a different story.This thread has some useful info on the specifics of configuring a factory ECU to run the engine without any associated security stuff or the ABS module. Probably more detail than you need (goes into specific changes to ECU parameters) but useful reading nonetheless.https://forum.pcmtec.com/index.php?/topic/32-howto-run-pcm-standalone-eg-engine-swap-pats-disable-and-speed-source-setup/Are you planning turbo or NA and what transmission?

I am not planning DRAG WEEK ride - but the relatively light Jag and BARRA - even in OEM form should make a 'half decent' traffic light surprise to many people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moby935 New Member 2 Member For: 1y 14d Posted 03/12/23 12:03 AM Share Posted 03/12/23 12:03 AM HA - I guess my calculator must be faulty - kerb weight of MK 2.4 manual is listed @ 1-440.0KG - BA BARRA manual is listed @ 1-672.0KG. What an idea - remove 500.0KG from my 1-440.0KG MK 2 and it will weigh less than my 280Z (soon to be converted from LHD to RHD, and that I was also considering a BARRA swap into) - HA - what a BEAST (AKA - "...animal...").
