Default L8 ecu in 2wd cossie?

hello,

Is it possible to put a L8 ecu in a 2wd sierra cosworth 3dr?
now the car have a L6 stage 3 ecu bij MSD
but I want to put the new MSD software in with closed loop, anti lag and maybe launch control...
Is it posible to put the L8 ecu on the engine loom of a 2wd?
can i fit somewhere the lamba sensor on the engine loom or do I have o search a engine loom of a 4x4 sierra?

sorry about my bad english

Yes you can

you need a 4x4 TPS and will need to swap the two outer wires round

you can add the lambda control with the existing loom (run a seperate mini loom from the ECU)

Yes you can, but if going this expensive way, to get a few more features you may kick yourself that you did not go aftermarket ecu, as it works out cheaper for a LOT more features, some can use any sensor type/rating as well, and are adjustable sensor inputs too, as well as direct coilpack drive Al/LC/TC/ in gear adjustable booste etc, triple map etc etc etc etc.

second hand of of any 4x4 cosworth (see if a car is being broken in the parts for sale section)


its is very easy,its is just screwed onto the the throttle body and there is a multi plug (the one you have to swap the wires round on)


I'd get one second hand, you can get the lambds sensor itself from stu though
