If you dont feel like messing your car up just mega squirt the thing. It would be much easyer you wouldent have to swap the dash and you wouldent need the ecu and the key tumbler and all the other crap that youneed to swap. justtap the ms in the harness and go. plus it would beway easyer to tune. Plus you would be able to get more power from it...

being able to wire the MS is one thing... MegaSquirt is a full stand alone unit that you have to compleatly program every aspect of the engine to have it run properly... in other words you NEED to know about how a motor works and what to do to get it where you need it.... heres the good thing.... There are places on the internet that you can go and look at maps of what other people have done with your same set-up... find the one closeset to yours download it to you lap-top hook the laptop up to your MS and download it to the MS. start the car and go from there...

It is alot easier to just get a pcm, S.K.I.M.,key, and tumbler and you do not have to swap out the dash. The wire color code is pretty much the same in a srt 4 and you only have to add one wire for the data line(BUS) The S.K.I.M. will even fit in the gen1 steering column. The one thing I would have done different is try to get the whole car. If you do have any questions i will try to help the best I can. And I have seen a swap where the put in the srt 4 dash and you have to cut your door panels and it looks like crap
