My friend in Puerto Rico made an identical swap as mines, only difference he went with Haltech, He manage to get the vvti working using some solenoids. he has been after me trying to get me to use haltech. But I was too hard headed and went with emerald. I will try to find information on what he used. But that ecu that you found is worth investigating.

Sorry, just to add

(If) I can find a good enough electric motor to do this setup, should I first go for a bigger alternator, battery pack, or turbo the beams (with vvti disabled)? Thanks

Edit: I really should make my own thread for this, sorry for hijacking the thread
