I have a SmartFortwo Diesel that needs to have the engine repurposed into an airboat to harvest Wild rice. The problem is the ECM and it is difficult to find a standalone ECM or CDI to run the common rail injection system. Once the motor is our of the car we hope to turn the car into an electric car.
But we won’t remove the diesel until we have an ECM solution. There are a great deal of car mounted sensors and variables that the stock ECM requires it seems an impossible feat to delete or simulate each circuit or sensor and still have the car run. Who has ideas? Who has a business to provide what’s needed help make these run?
 
Hello and welcome |B

It sounds like an interesting project you have but sadly I am unable to help but will be following your build with interest.

Hopefully someone on TC may be able to point you in the right direction.

So sorry for my very slow reply, my mum recently died and on top of that I've injured my back and shoulder so couldn't use a mouse for weeks!

I'm getting back into the swing of things now, but have to take it slowly. I'll try and get back to answer questions more fully, and I've got a ton of article updates going up soon.

I'm sure you'll fit in just fine and look forward to Talking Cars with you.
