Can you convert a 1G FWD carr to a AWD car?
What would be needed to do so if it was possible? |

Yes, but the conversion factors between the two ECU's are not the same. Trust me, I do this for a living at Cat. Just because there are people out there who are having success doing it a certain way does not mean that its the best way to do it. I can see how doing it that way would work to a point, but fuel correction is still the best way to go to keep the mixtures from being too rich or too lean. The fuel maps pick injector pulse width based on airflow, RPM, and engine load. They are 3-D maps. The pulse width numbers that are programmed into these maps reflect the displacement and volumetric efficiency of the engine.
