So, i see no reason why a mspnp designed for a usdm MAF 4age can't be fitted to a JDM aw11 if you repin the connectors. To test this theory i intend to make an adapter loom from a defunct ecu and about 8 inches of engine loom from the connector back.
My research, tracing wiring diagrams and comparing pinouts and the like has led me to this, badly annotated spreadsheet:

see the spreadsheet (minus all the hand drawn bits obviously) here:
now i gotta track down an ecu and loom to test the theory, but while i search does anyone have any suggestions/questions/queries/comments/criticisms etc?
Cheers,
Matt
