REW conversion converting over to cable throttle question
Hi Folks,
I am doing an REW swap into a 2003 RX8.
I have the adaptronic plug and play RX8 ecu in the car currently.
I wont be running an OMP and would love to convert over to a throttle cable setup using the FD throttle body, cable, pedal etc.
Is it possible to do it with my ECU or will there be any problems and if so what ?
What do I do about the MAF sensor etc ?
Also will it effect the DSC,ABS etc ?
Thanks.

ok thanks, just as long as the dsc, traction control etc isnt stuck on and I cant switch it off.
I would appreciate any advice, input from folks who have done the conversion and the results they have had, any problems etc.

The FD throttle body and cable is a easy fit. You won't have any DCS though. I have no MAF with my FD TB and Apexi PFCU. Most people will prefer the RX8 TB, with DCS, and see the FD TB as a backward step; as long as you know the pros and cons then we've helped and it all comes down to your preference.

Thats cool, I have never used cruise control in my life, (Im 43) and regarding DSC, this is the first car I have has with it and Im not a fan of it.
Im old school and prefer to have as little as possible between me and the control of the car, that way I have full control and know what to expect in certain situations.
When I had the renesis engine rebuilt I asked if there was a way we could run a cable throttle body but I was told that too many systems were dependent on the DBW to work properly but now with this engine conversion I can run a cable.
The only thing that i think is necessary is ABS, I can happily live without all the rest.
