@@busta351 it’s running. Not tuned, life is busy and expensive. But I’m starting to fear that what people say is true, that it’s too inconsistent to tune well. We’ll see.

I guess I'm not sure what you want to do... you want to put ITBs on an M54 but keep the original vehicle's ECU? If the ECU you are using has a MAF, you might be able to do it since measuring or estimating airflow is the ECU's main job. Are you able to remap the OEM ECU or is that not a possibility? If your ECU uses MAF and you can remap, I think you could do it. Your acceleration enrichment is going to be very different using ITBS vs a single throttle. Now for the throttle body motor... opening 6 throttles is a lot more work than opening one throttle, so there is a possibility that the motor could draw too much current. depending on the ECU that could mean burning up the motor driver chip or having it shut down. Originally I had a small throttle motor driver chip, and while it worked it couldn't fully open the throttles. I ended up winding my own throttle springs to lighten the load. I was able to open the throttles all the way but eventually that chip failed and i installed a driver chip like this: www.pololu.com/product/1451. This has way more capacity than I need, but thats better than not enough.

Yes, as an Instructor would I dream of grabbing the wheel, that is a big no-no.

www.gobilda.com/ is where I found the parts I used.

@@greenflavoredstuff thanks

Yes i had a 2.3 4cylinder was in this car before I changed to a V8. The 2.3 was originally from a 1988 Ford Ranger, but had many changes.

I used a driver. It can be done with or without a driver with this specific motor, but I used a driver.

I have posted another video showing the more details, and i have a write-up here: ironhydroxide.blogspot.com/2022/08/teach-old-dog-new-tricks.html

I fixed it, and have found and fixed many new problems since. I have some other videos of it running properly, but at the moment I'm replacing the short block.

LS coils mounted on the fender wells, triggered by megasquirt.

The MK II GT 40's ran 427 side oiler engines, not the SOHC.

Sweet opps

The projectile was a rock, wrapped in a heavy gauge wire. The wire provided a loop to hook the projectile to the trebuchet. Then the rock was covered in rags and if I remember correctly was then doused in diesel fuel and motor oil.
