Thinking aloud.
i got to talking with a coworker today, is it possible to convert an obd 1 jeep to use an obd 2 engine management while still keeping the jeep function as before.
im talking about using only the engine computer from an obd2 jeep while still keeping the obd 1 guages, fuel system, trans controller. miniamal modification of the rest of the jeep's systems, ac heater radio fan control.
jeep in question is a 94 aw4 with future plans for a stroker 4.6. hence the want for an obd 2 engine system, i want the ability to tune the engine better than making sensor biasing devices and fooling the computer.
I know the grand cherokee's use a bcm which must also get wired in. not sure on jeep xj's.
i think i remember reading somewhere that the obd 1 guages are direct feed guages instead on using the computer the translate.
this is only theroy. i know all the sensors will have to change over to obd 2 sensors, as well as custom wiring to merge the two harnesses.
Coworker in question is use to doing LS converions and tuning.
fuel systems are diffrent( return vs returnless.) late model's use a coil pack vs dizzy. is it possible?
