A bit OT - Silly simple OBD-II ECU search

G'day Folks,

Very general question for those who are used to using Obi wan kenobi stuff.

I'm looking (in principle) for a very basic - silly simple - ECU that has been fitted by a manufacturer to four cylinder petrol engines. Could be Land Rover could be for other makes - doesn't really matter.


I don't want to play about with an ECU that freaks out about things such as brake pad wear, headlamps, air conditioning, abs, etc etc

Ideally I want an ECU that just needs things such as a water temperature sensor, a crank position sensor, perhaps manifold pressure if it is so inclined, an O2 sensor and a throttle position sensor - simple engine management stuff but nothing else.


Does anyone here know of such a simple ECU?


I don't want programmable after market options that the boy racers use - they are too expensive for what I have in mind.

It's probably the racing boys who are most likely to do what you want, or probably obscure hobbyists .. I'd search Youtube ..

I've tried the tube and kit car forums - it is all boys with toys money no object type stuff...

...hmmmm...

@dave658 - the OP of this thread https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/6-wheel-drive-discovery-ii-am-i-totally-mad.301730/ might just be man to offer some guidance.

Or get megasquirt

Mega squirt isn't simple, and isn't cheap .. but it is very good, from my limited experience of it (A mate runs his V8 Disco with it)

Thanks chaps I'm really not prepared to spend silly money on computers and software - I'll see what I can come up with...
