I know its possible to swap an NA EJ25 SOHC using the factory ECU. Renegade sells a "Speed Sensor" kit. I think it bolts to the output of the transaxle. Is this required or optional?
I'm trying to understand the ins and outs of these swaps because I think they are interesting. I know a swapper could go aftermarket, Link or Stinger or whatever. I'm curious how much work it is to go with the factory ECU. BTW, I've looked at most of the threads that are relevant. None of them really give a play by play on using the factory ECU. Just intimidating pictures with lots of wires. |

Since my car was the demo car for the renegade subie kit keeping as many stock components as possible was important. I am very happy with my tuned stock ECU but BJ (crazyhippy) is also having good success with with an aftermarket computer. Honestly if the two options are close in price and you can just plug and play an aftermarket computer than I would go that route.
The Renegade speed sensor is a nice kit but if money is an issue a magnet on the axle flange and a magnetic door sensor (think home security system) mounted to the tranny will work just fine. |
