Sky's the limit with one of those.
With nearly 20 years of D2's out there, I haven't seen or read anywhere that anyone has been able to make adjustments to the ecu. The D1's, yes, but no D2.
Which would also explain why there are only 2 or 3 cams, and headers available as aftermarket parts.
If you can't adjust the air/fuel ratio, you're limited to work with what it has.
I'm rebuilding my 04, 4.6 now myself, and I'll have under $2k in a full rebuild, pinned liners, no tophats.
Have you looked at Storm Tuning in England? I believe they remap D2 ECU's. I'm no expert though.

No, but I will check them out!
I had searched and searched over the last year with nothing.
If they do, I'm interested!
Thank you!

Nah, just looked.
All I see from Storm Tuning for the D2 is TD5, all diesel tuning, no gas engines.
Thanks anyway

I like rebuilding the stock engine for reliability's sake.

Also, I would do the Turner engine with gas flowed cylinder heads and H180 cam.

I'm really happy with my Turner short block.

Granted, I am in Chicago, but it was shipped in just a few days.

I don't remember. A few hundred I think, but again, I am in Chicago so I am close to an International Airport. It came DHL.

I need to add that you should feel free to email them. I found their service to be excellent and responsive, of course, you have to mind the time difference.

Rebuilding is a good option, but if you want to do top hats, and even if you have all the necessary tools, the total cost will likely be the same, or close, as just buying one from Turner.

$605, + shipping costs, and shipping time, as they are in the U.K
I think that will have to wait for now, but thank you for the link! That is the only D2 ecu tuning that I have seen.
I had been hoping to find/buy software and cable and do it myself, and as many D2's as I want.
I do that now for several Suzuki's
