The stock ECU wont work if it doesnt see any signals. You need to share them and add 2nd sensors where appropriate.

Sorry I think I misread.

It will do aircon, fans and speed sensitive steering as long as it has water temp and speed hooked up.

I bought an EL XR8 with Haltech installed. I'm pretty sure they chopped into all the sensors, ignition and injectors, whilst everything else still ran. When it came out, I left all the fiddly stuff to someone else, so I can't tell you 100% whether they spliced into the sensors or cut them.

Maybe it would pay to keep the ECT going to the EEC as well, as Dansedgli suggested. I didn't think there was speed sensitive steering in the EL XR8, so you won't have to worry about that. Or are you running it in your car?
