Worlds first vq37 nismo swaped bmw e30

Biggest understatement right there. Even some standalones can't run the VHR; VVEL and dual DBW causes the biggest roadblocks.

THE BULL

I spent a lot of time and effort on my VHR swap kits.

The VR30 also falls into this since it switched to electrical VTC instead of hydraulic. So separate ECM to control this as well.

So for those interested I make Full VHR swap kits with working speedometer and triple meter.

But you dont need standalone for this engine ... Stock ecu is as good as any standalone for example most of 800 900hp 370z are running stock ecu so i can't think of anything else you need from stock ecu

You're correct that you don't need a standalone. But your statement quoted above is absolutely and categorically false.

It won't do staged/ecu-controlled nitrous, at least on a switch. Where the stock ECU limits you is when you need more I/O(stock ECU is just repurposed existing I/Os, so still limited in that aspect).

You don't need it for high hp cars but there is a big benefit to it. The only reason folks don't have one is because of the cost. It's 10k. Most folks on this platform won't spend that on their turbo kit much less what it cost for a proper built engine. That's why were are stuck in the stone age as far as development is concerned.
