using k-pro just to datalog in another car

hi, i currently have two projects on the go, the first being a k20 dc2 which is not yet running.....second is a nissan pulsar gti-r, which although it is running, has bigger injectors and an safc and runs rich. i cant really afford a rolling road tune, or a wideband at the moment, but i have just got it running and is is the only car i can use at the moment for getting to work etc.

is there any way i can put my k-pro ecu with oem wideband in my nissan for now, just supply it with 12v and a ground wherever it needs it so it comes on and controls and heats the wideband, plug in my laptop and read/records the information off it. maybe tap into an rpm signal and do a bit of data logging on it. will the k-pro need to think the honda engine is running or can you just record what the sensors are reading even when the engine isnt running?

any advice? thanks in advance, Ben

No, this will not work.

i know it doesn't really matter, but i'll sleep easier if i know why it won't work.....if it's not too much trouble to give me a brief explanation....i haven't used k-pro before if that seems stupid to ask(another reason why i'd have liked to have a play about.

i'll just have to get a move on with my dc2 instead.....might have a go at wiring it myself without a conversion harness tomorrow

never mind, i think i am going to run my sr20det on a p28 or p30 ecu.

might sound crazy if you've never heard of it, but i have all the parts required to do the conversion in my garage, it's VERY easy, only hard bit is mounting the honda distributor, which is only a case of getting an adaptor plate made up, and making a wiring conversion harness which i've done before and am not scared about.

would still love to know why the datalogging wouldn't have worked, if there are loads of reasons then a few simple ones will do.

cheers
