Sure, its probably gonna cost you some good coin, but you will have an engine that runs as good (if not better) than OEM. Completely tunable, have multiple maps for air/fuel and ignition for different applications (ie offroad and on road), data recording, and many tuning shops can tune them so its just a matter of finding a good one near you.

You wouldnt even need a motec unit, there are plenty other brands that would work just as well for less money and better than factory results with the added flexibility such units provide you.
The problem is getting the engine CPU to talk to the main CPU under the centre console, unless of course the Motec can control the ABS, ESP, traction control, cruise control, seatbelts, airbags, every other switch & lamp in the vehicle whilst talking to the Instrument cluster CPU.
If you want it to be legal all that stuff has got to work.
