    VVT Ecu and LY6 into a RV non canbus

    Curious guys is it possible to swap in a VVT ecu into a non canbus chassis and keep the VVT ?

    Looking to swap in a LY6 into my 1986 RV and keep VVT if possible

    If you have the LY6 and the matching computer, the VVT will still function like normal because it's programmed to that engine.

    People do engine swaps like that all the time. If all the wiring is correct it will run just fine.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    This is just what i thought i was just worried that the ECU required canbus/body controller to make it run ?

    Nope, doesn't need any of that. Just the fuse block, engine harness and throttle pedal stuff. The transmission harness too if you are running a 6L90e as well.
