    So? Buy the LNF from a cobalt then and steal the mounts from a 2.4na sky/solstice or order them from the dealer. Then engine block and head are the same part irrc and the difference is the mounts.

    yes thats the one....it disregards the whole bcm which is where vats is which is the reason they wont start as a stand alone.

    Hey Alex (cssob) are you in Florida or California? I might know of a low mileage salvaged title Sky Redline for sale that would make an excellent project car. Either that or put a little cash in it and it would be a driver since it's only got body damage, everything else is perfect. Car is in CA though.

    hpt has mentioned that if it is a value in the ecu that they will in the future not this immediate months have this available to us. Hpt is glad to get around to request for ecu unlocks as per the request features thread, and is possibly looking into rekindling the efforts to search for this value. If it is not there and it is required to flash the bcm to get our result they might not be able to help.

    i am by no means releasing info to stir up false hopes, just stating they are thinking about looking into it again and maybe making it available to us in the future.

    It's the future, any possibility of being able to do it in HPT yet?

    I wouldn't hold my breath. The LNF ECU is dead in the water and there are better options out there as far as ECUs are concerned. The Buick/Opel ECU (LEA/LDK ECU) has much more control over engine parameters and has VATS control through HPT. This would be my recommendation, especially in a vehicle that would have no BCM to contend with such as a kit car or sand car.

    mkriebs did you get a E39A working standalone?

    I have two different LHU/LDK ECMs (E39A): Opel and Buick.
    Tried to get them working in a "kit" car without BCM, ABS, ...

    None of them works without HS-CAN.
    Opel cuts throttle and boost at 2700 rpm.
    Buick cuts throttle and boost at 3100 rpm.

    Yes you can disable VATS - the engine will start, but there is no power above 3000 rpm...

    BadCop, I have not, but I was considering doing an E39A swap in my Solstice this winter, but that is some good info. I wish I knew better how that stuff worked.

    That's a LTG crateengine including ECM with special standalone Software/OS.

    You think we could use that E39A for a LNF/LDK/LHU instead of the LTG?
    Just ask because there are many differences to this "new" LTG type compared to our "old" engines?

    I have to check the pinout and compare all sensors...
