Default Ecu help.

Hi peeps. I have a 2.1 zvh conversion to put in my track ka. It has ofab ecu. I would like after market management but canny afford it right now.

My question is, can i run the lights, dials, starter, leccy windows etc through the KA original ecu and then put the RST OFAB ecu in with a live feed just to run the engine?

So basically, 2 ecu's, 1 for the lights etc and one for just the engine.

Thanks, Help really appreciated.

Though your goin to have to run the starter off the zetec ecu, maybe a zetec s fez ecu would be a all in one solution

A lot of peaople have used 2 ECUs on Ka conversions.

My mate had a puma 1.7 ka running the puma ecu and the ka ecu and he also had an RST ka with both ECUs originally and then jsut the RST ecu after that.
