L61 ECM on a LE5
Ya, sounds dumb. Bear with me....
Wil a 2.4 LE5 phisically run with a 2.2 L61 ECM hooked to it.
I'm not looking to make power. Not looking for fuel efficiency. ALL I need it to do is run - even if it runs like a dog.

I was guessing that the L61 ecm would not plug in, but even if it did I would still need to build a custom harness regardless.

the crank trigger wheel in the 2002-2006 l61 is a 7x, the other engines all use a 58x crank trigger. there are differences in the l61 le5 and lsj 58x triggers though, the "missing teeth" are in different locations. from what ive read the lap and le5 are the same.
what are you trying to do?

I can handle the wiring. But I'm trying to avoid any flashing of the 2.2 ecm.
Would the 2.4 even start / run with the 2.2 ecm installed? Keep in mind - it JUST needs to run - no matter HOW unrdriveable / poorly it runs.

I have an 06 LE5. I would like to make it appear that it's a L61 if anyone plugs into the OBD2 connector. I do not have a L61 ecm yet, planned on getting one from a salvage yard.
This is going into a competition car. I intend on using the stock LE5 ecm, stock location. I intend(ed) on installing an L61 ecm under the dash, and wiring it into the existing harness, then only power one ECM, dictated by a switch position.

if your gonna do something that slimy id think of going a step further and build an le5 with an l61 head. that makes the engine look the part, eliminates all the vvt and sensors, and would allow the engine to be run by an 07 l61 ecm, at least in theory.
if your limited to a 2.2l, you could run the 2.4l with an LAP ecm. from what ive read, they are the same aside from displacement, so the lap ecm should run a 2.4l.
