Mine was also wire drive if you want to change you need to pick up a new harness and ecu along with cable TB. The new TB will bolt right up but you will need to get 2 new longer bolts. |

The ignition trigger is a different number of teeth which prevents using the earlier 16 bit ECM in place of the newer 32 bit ECM. One option is to retain the original acc. pedal in a waterproof enclosure and cable operate it with a "normal" gas pedal. I used an ammo box wich also houses the ECM and is located close to the engine.There will be tune issues with the DBW such as lag times and decay times of pedal which can be addressed with a custom tune. |

DBW has been proven for crisp throttle response with the right tune. |

Also to consider is the fact that eventually all cars will be DBW and this means the available donor motors. |
