j32a
I am going to put a 3.2l j-series engine into a baja bug. I was wondering if anyone knows of any companys that can reprogram the ecu to be a standalone unit. all it needs to run is the fuel injection, timing (vtec), altenator. the bare essentials.
any ideas????

I would look around at some sand rail/offroad buggy boards. I know there are quite a few of them running boosted J32s and I assume some of them are probably running full stand-alones.
I believe only one person attempted to run a full standalone (a Tec3) and they had some problems with it.

I forgot to mention, the stock ECU is not flashable.
The person who attempted to use it though didn't mention what was wrong with it though. It may very well work fine with your set-up due to the fact that it doesn't need to due everything it would have to on a car.

Can You fit a small block in there? An LS1/6 can be had for dirt cheap, and is light(aluminum) and can make tons of power while remaining effecient. Did i mention they are cheap?

I want to go with the 60 degree v6 b/c of the weight factor and hp and torque factors. the engine is still going to out back. I have thought of going with a v8 they are to heavy. I can this v6 for $1G.

Bigman has a good idea with a LS(X) motor. They are light and compact and will give you tons of power without going turbo. I have a feeling you will be disappointed with a NA J32A2 motor compared to a LS(X)

The sandrail buggy guys love the j32/35 motor. High HP and Torque in a small package. Here are some links for you, and I also have a low mileage 3.2L TypeS motor, here is the link to that as well. Have fun.

V8 is heavier than a V6. and the j32a is 60 degree V6 and the V8's I beleive are 90 degrees. and its just that much more weight bouncing around the in the desert. if anyone is interested in doing a standalone setup or a swap go to for more info www.swperformanceandfab.com . I am interested in performace parts if any. i do not want to go with boost.

I had forgotton about that web site, they have done some very good research into these motors. I wonder if they visit this site or any of the other honda sites. I seem to remember they had a different style website the last time I visited, it showed more parts available with prices as well as larger and more pictures to view. What kind of stand alone do they offer?

they reprogram the stock ecu to what you need it operate and they can redo the harness. other than that i am not sure. i have called a couple times they are helpful. i have not been to the actual store to see they have going on.

Wow, if they reprogram the stock ecu, then they are the first that I've heard doing that. Hondata won't even think about it. I'll have to inquire to see what the deal is.
