Na Xr6 Engine Conversion

[lucas s]

Hey guys im new here and new to fords. Im in the process of building a budget drift car. I have a s13 that I was considering putting a rb30e in as its easy an cheap but I really like what the ba/bf engine has to offer with power an torque. Turboing may be an option later on down the track but atm im trying to make a reasonably reliable track car that cheap go fix.

Now iv done a fair bit of reasearch an cant seem to get a solid answer to my questions witch only concern what I would do with the ecu. Will be useing a manual halfcut.

Will flashing the ecu allow it to function in another car

Will it be tunable with out a flash tuner device

Is there a way around the fly by wire tb

Thanks for your time in advance cheers lucas

Yh but it comes down to a cost factor. Ill be getting a xr6 manual half cut for a good price. An only only thing im worried about is the ecu so if I can get it to run cheap enough I think it will be a good engine chocie based on my budget.
