I don't know if it is worht the gamble of even trying an OE ECU, the A/F ratio will be really skewed with the bigger TBs and MAFs. As well as the kick down and tip in.

Of topic, but I see the GTR is in the house! Looks like time for a field trip.

I didn't actually work on the car, I made a 78mm TB that we just couldn't get to tune. It made power for sure, for a short time until the ECU went into limp mode. Doug sent it to the PLayboy team to see if they could do anything with it. I don't know if they really fooled with it much or not but they returned it. The part that was killing Doug, was when the voltage did not match the feedback with the stock ECu and UTEC. I figured with a standalone that could be ignored or tuned around.
This will be one ugly Hybrid if I can get it to work, but WTH I like a puzzle.

Haven't read the full thread yet, but depending on if you have time, we'll be working on HR support shortly. Just find a stock plenum and intake from a totalled car, grab the ECU also. I'm sure we can help figure out the minor stuff.

The single big throttle body we've done, full prototype, was expensive as hell for very little gain and wouldn't really recommend it unless it was just for the show factor. We just wanted to see if our software was up to snuff for custom things and it worked great, the throttle body didn't work very well though.

I've also only $350 in the long block and it is only missing a few things.

In a nut shell I was wanting to the the GTM cams, Dual 69mm TBs on an HR, can the stock ECU deal with that?

My only question deals with the need for bigger throttle bodies, you can do it but to what real gain? I know it seems pedestrian when trying to do something custom, but messing with that causes alot of tuning stress as that's an unknown at this point. Plus you could spend the money on something else that makes your car perform better.
