Can you run throttle body's on your standard ECU

[ClioOB]

I want to fit throttle body's but I don't know if you can use your standard ECU, need help please?

What about the map senor ?? there is no intake plenum?? you need controlling by throttle position sensor .

Possbile, but not ideal. You need to take a MAP signal from after the throttle plates, which means tieing them all together and playing around with pipe sizes etc.

Easiest on a ph1 (cable throttle), but possible on all.

Is there a reason you want to spend a load of time/money doing so rather than just take the easy (and realistically cheaper in most cases) option and go aftermarket though?

Have a search, there are many many threads on this.

Well I was watching the ktec step by step videos on YouTube and I'm sure they just put the laptop into the standard ECU.
And they changed it to a throttle cable to which comes with the kit.
And all the old plugs and thing like that went back into the throttle body's.
Any of you seen them videos ?

They plug in a new ecu which is programmable.
