You're right, inputs and outputs are limited however take some time to study the diagram and you'll find it's 128 pins. Only exotic ECMs can take on the job and ALL of them require the use of the OEM VVEL unit. It would take a Motec PDM 30 or something along those lines to handle all of the inputs. which is why a flashed OEM ecm is the best it gets cost wise

Cheap american 4 cyl truck. Ideally you'd want a truck that companies make DE swap kits on since the mounts would work. The rest is gathering all the copper spaghetti needed.

With 37HRs hitting 400whp all motor, VHRs hanging in the 360+ cams, bolted allmotor and boosted setups only having engine issues we can agree that an exotic ecm might not yield that much especially since an exotic ECM would have a hard time controlling the Speedometer/triple meter.

The idea is to follow vehicles they make DE swap kits for since the mounts are the same height a VHR in theory will bolt up using DE swap mounts, softening the financial requirements of this swap.
