20V advice...

Are the ecu's for the 20V engines individually marched to the engine or to the key, or can it be programmed to mach...?

Not one reply....

Anyway, an update. I've sourced myself a a post 2002 20V engine in japan at a good price and I'm on the verge of having it shipped over. However, I still need to clear up the ecu issue. As with the P11 SR20VE, can I drop the 20V into a P12 and hook it up to the stock ecu and get it working, or do I need to have the 20V ecu?
If I needthe 20V ecu, do I also need to have the exact ky to match, or again like the P11 VE, can I get the ecu reprogrammed to accept the existing car key...?

The answer is here somewhere, Andreas Miko has done it and describes how in a thread.

The 20v Engine have drive by wire, CAS thus meaning no distributor and muliple coils wich means that a 20VE ecu wont run it. I have just bought the same engine and are going to replace the drive by wire Tb with a N1 TB, and getting a 20VE daughterboard reprogrammed for the 20VE ecu to run the CAS and multiple coils.
You can not have the stock ecu reprogrammed unless you fit a daughterboard that is programmable.
MSM in Auckland NZ have these daughterboards and you can contact him on this board. Bazza1600
Good luck
