Standalone ECU/Full port injection conversion?

[stevenpennington]

While sitting at work this morning, I started to research and see if there was anyone selling/running a standalone ECU for the speed. Not surprisingly, I didn't find very much.

I then had a thought, or rather a chain of thoughts. I recall reading a thread a while back about how someone on here was running a PI system that had reduced the use of the stock DI to about 15%.
I then sat and read another thread highlighting the points that would cause difficulty with a standalone. From what i gather, it would be the direct injection drivers, the DBW, and the mechanical fuel pump.

My proposition is this (though I have no idea whether or not this would actually be possible/usable):
-Remove the stock injectors, and have some sort of block off put in place, or perhaps weld the ports shut.
-Remove the cam driven fuel pump, and figure out how to seal that off. This would leave a section of the cam exposed. Could I just have a custom cam made shorter? Possibly.
-Further to this, the next topic to address would be the DBW. Just from a (very brief, admittedly) search, I've found that quite a few companies sell DBW capable ECU's, namely Haltech and AEM.

Obviously this would be something that would likely cost more than most people are willing to spend on something that isn't guaranteed to work properly, or at all, but isn't that how innovation works-- by trial and error?

Just a quick thought process I had, if anyone has input I'd love to hear it!

Well ontario canada has just canned e-testing so I have also fallen down this rabbit hole.

My thoughts of this was to swap a port injection duratec head (cosworth cams maybe) ebay cosworth intake and a megasquirt 3 ecu. Now there are no fuel limits etc.

I was worried about the AWD system but from what I am reading, there is a TCM computer that runs that so as long as the tach VSS etc are feed into it we will be fine there.
