FJ 280z Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 i have a 77 280z and i plan on using megasquirt to control fuel and spark. im in the process of stripping my engine bay for paint and the motor swap. my question is what would happen if i disconnected the engine ECU? would my guages still work? does the ECU control anything besides the engine? i'd like to just cut the wires and be done with it, for a more cleaner look. it would be real nice to know because i also plan on using the stock fuel gauge and hopefully the battery and oil psi gauge too. i have an aftermarket h20 temp gauge. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.......

mario_82_ZXT Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 If you're gonna use MS on such an early Z, it is my understanding that the EFI harness is completely independant of the chassis wiring. What I'm gonna do for my 280z is pull it all out and make my own or buy the RS-Auto one for MS. Then use the EZ Wiring one for the chassis. You can't get cleaner then that.... well.. unless you run carbs. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
