Was wondering what is involved and what is required.
I want something stand alone.
I no longer have ECU/PCM anyways... I have BigStuff3 in the car.

Thanks,

BigStuff3 doesn't seem to support drive by wire.
My understanding is that v4 does support it.
Hence I was thinking on something that would be independent of the PCM... a stand alone thing.. so that BigStuff3 only sees throttle position anyways, and doesn't control any input on the pedal.
The tilton seems more like a headache than anything else. Firewall, fabbing, etc.
As for the brakes lights, I don't have any, I ripped the whole dashboard apart and made my own dash w/ speedhut gauges and my own lights.
The more I think about this, the least attractive the idea becomes and there doesn't seem to have a simple solution at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Even Motec doesn't have a standalone solution.
Why do they have to be integrated w/ the engine management ? what happened to KISS ?

Why the fuck would you want to convert to DBW and then not take advantage of the engine management abilities it offers?

That's really the main benefit. Eugenio is putting a nasty twin turbo 427 in his car. So, the DBW setup would allow some traction control and other such features that might make the car less likely to "bite someone". That would be the only reason I'd consider moving to such a system. I prefer the feel of a real throttle cable, but that's just me.
