    Diesel engine measurement

    Hi folks, I am doing an engine swap into a 2003 KJ Cherokee that used to have a 2.5L VM Motori R425 diesel. Unfortunately, I don't have the original engine and but I do have the aluminium piece that was on the back of the motor. Does anyone have one of these out of a car that could possibly...

    Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

    Hi folks, The idea is to use a 11" Kostov DC motor coupled to the manual transmission (its currently an auto), controlled by a Soliton1 controller. Battery voltage will be 144v. I am also going to create a custom microcontroller that will perform some of the roles the stock PCM is doing...

    Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

    Thanks Sota, I'm an electronics geek and at this stage have decided on building a custom microcontroller that will replace the ECU, and provide the comms that the other subsystems are listening for. With that in mind, interfacing to a pedal isn't a big problem for me, and keeps the engine bay a...

    Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

    Hi Sota, Thanks for the info. I'm doing an electric conversion on a 2003 KJ. I could use a potbox on the end of the accelerator cable, which is the usual approach, but I thought a drive by wire pedal might be a nicer solution.

    Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

    Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone here knows what model Jeeps came out with an accelerator pedal position sensor? I am pretty sure that they all do from 07 onwards, and I think diesel models also have it. My ideal scenario is that I can buy one that will just bolt into my 03 KJ. Can...

    Motor and transmission swap

    There is absolutely no sarcasm there and I am sorry if it came across that way. That thread is very detailed and useful. I am only at the start of my project, but it will happen.

    Motor and transmission swap

    Thanks for the info on the transfer case, and the Australian forum Billwill. I'm not concerned about making the new motor turn (I've got that covered), and what I have in mind was never in *any* Jeep. What I am asking is mainly about the auto to manual swap, and if anyone has experience with...

    Motor and transmission swap

    Hi folks, I have a 2003 KJ that has a stuffed 3.7 motor, but otherwise a good car. I am looking at swapping the motor out for something *very* not Jeep, and I want to make sure I know what I am in for before I start. The first part of my plan is to swap out the 42RLE auto with a NV3550...
