I guess the first thing is why choose the Delco over a plug and play ECU or factory ECU? While its certainly possible its going to be a much more difficult conversion using a Delco.

Biggest issue is the reference triggering, using the Nissan trigger is possible but there is no off the shelf ignition module that is going to read that and work with a delco to provide drive to 6 x COPs. You could adapt the commodore V6 crank trigger or use a US delco DIS module. More info here .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=128. I have a module in development but so far only one Nissan has been run from it .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopi ... =11&t=2913 running this with 6 sequential coils https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopi ... =16&t=3020

If you want to run a MAP based ECU and stick with free DIY tuning then only 12P is available for boost (assuming it is a turbo RB25/30?) for a VN/VP 808 ECU.. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=356. VS on will work using a MAF and the enhanced bins .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopi ... =27&t=2518.

Once I am happy that its working correctly they will be available. The Nissan trigger is the main thing to finish testing on.

Do a search on the LS2 coils they have a higher output.

You can run two O2 sensors (a narrowband and wideband) to the 808 when using 12P.

If you go with LS2 coils make sure to use D513A or D514A. Some of the truck coils have a protection feature built in if you over dwell them. Cranking dwell exceeds this and will cause them to fire early making starts very difficult.
