Found this on one of my US DSM boards: Just “finished” another DSM ECU on a stock KA. Here is the mod list: Stock KA (130k+) SS Autochrome 46trim/.63 (mad China powah!) SS Autochrome manifold Tial WG Efeezie racing fuel rail (stock DSM regulator) 660cc Dynoed 383whp/377wtq @ 18psi (110octane) KAs keep impressing me! [http://nismokc.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10208](http://nismokc.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10208) I am inquiring about the wiring and how much work it is. This is definitely a cheap tuning solution for alot of KA-Ts out there. ---

I read you have to remove the entire wiring harness off the dsm and wire it on teh 240sx , almost the same amount of work as hooking up a motec system or standalone . You have to run every wire to the car such as knock , temp sensor , cam sensor , speed sensor and some to the dash ect … Pretty much every wire comming out of the ecu has to go somewhere Sounds like fun :lol: ---

Hmm, sounds interesting, personally if I was going to rewire the car I would just go for a megasquirt stand alone setup. Its hella cheap, you make it yourself and its more versitle than most of the stand alones out there. Yes you have to do a little bit of modification to work on the KA but It is well worth it. I wanted to run it on a SR but with the direct ignition you would have to do allot more work to get it to run. Also, it looks like this guy changed his ignition too, looks like a direct sr type in the pics. That turbo looks like its gonna suck you in hahaha.
