Should be able to get it running on the one ecu (don't need body or abs ecus), you don't need speedo. As Roman said ethrottle and MAF are super important, ethrottle is in throttle body so no pedal needed. The ecu controls the throttle from 0 to 100% however it allows manual pull on the cable from 0 to 25% for limp home mode. The ecu does the idle via the ethrottle. So manual control first, then ecu taking over not the other way around. The other thing to check is fuel pressure as they don't like too low. Can't remember the exact number off the top of my head but over 50psi. As Roman said try an OBD2 scanner. There's a guide on in a few places for setting up Torque on Android to connect (not automatic) If you need any wiring diagrams, or pics of components feel free to pm me.

Mine at a slightly higher speed, driveshaft was a pretzel. Very glad for loop...

How did you go with the new engine?

That's awesome information thanks everyone. I'm wiring in a link, so plan to use the canbus with an ODB2 Bluetooth adapter to an android tablet, at this stage i'm going to keep things simple and just put a couple of LED's on the dash for high beam and indicators failing. Since it's been confirmed i don't need an odometer that makes life a lot easier.

I've had a talk to the local performance shop, and they agreed with all the above, but they also mentioned that I might need odometer. I didn't think this was the case from my reading of http://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general But then again i missed the other stuff. Anyone know if you need odometer?

Thanks everyone, appreciated.

A question around dashes. I'm looking at replacing my dash with an android tablet connected to the ECU via OBD2. From my reading of the rules, the only thing I absolutely need to have to pass a warrant (in regards to dash) is a working speedo (that is not gps based). No mention is made of indicator lights, headlights or high beam indicators to show on the dash. Or total km's Am I correct in my understanding?

Well done on getting out to first race! Good to see you enjoying it. Need more videos of it on youtube... When do you next plan to take it out?

Congrats on getting it out for it's first run! I look forward to seeing it out on track

Don't know if you have seen this. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=894326063 An interesting combination of quad throttles and standard intake.

Congrats on getting it going! Your making great progress. I have a couple of OBD2 readers set up to read the altezza ecu (using android app), but I haven't been able to get them to work on my car (couple of cut obd2 wires may be the issue, or the readers themselves) but theoretically they should work on a good loom. Your welcome to try them, just send me a pm if your interested.

Hi Good to see you making great progress! I thought i would post some links which may be useful to you from someone who has already done this conversion (Gen 5 Beams into a KP61 Starlet). They were done by Quintin, admin on the club-k forums (http://www.club-k.co.nz/), I now own the car in question. This is the original build thread (you need to be a paid member to view) http://www.club-k.co.nz/Forums/viewthread.php?tid=24316 Here is a condensed version that is publicly available. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~quibel/Starlet2c.htm They include wiring diagrams for connecting the beams to the starlet loom etc. (if any of the links don't work pm with your email and i can send the files directly) Here's a recent video of the car at Ruapuna (more on my channel)
