Mazda should have given up on the rotary engine years ago. I don't care how light it is. The motor has no torque and any boosted mods can blow up the engine.(without proper tuning and low boost) If that's what you want to do, do what makes you happy. For me, I think it's a complete waste of $.

The LS1 is pretty much a stand alone ECU it only needs like 10 wires hooked up to run on its own. As far as the speedo and tach you can run the tach wire from the new motor to the cluster but it depends on what kind of signal it is the LS1 has a 4 cyl. low volt output from the factory so it reads just like a 4 cyl., the speed would come from the tranny speed sensor and go into the cluster as well but it would most likley need to run through a speedo healer to get the signal correct or your speedo will read wrong. I am not sure where these signals come from on the rotory but on the LS1 they come off the ECU in most cases. The S2000 ECU is pretty muched used to run the motor all the other stuff comes from the fuse boxes.

im not sure about the ABS since im not running it in my car but I think it just runs off a speed signal and the fuse box. I know that the speed wire the is in the S2000 is Blue/White (pretty sure) runs from the connector under the dash where the factory engine harness would plug in throught the ECU and then up to the dash on the way to the cluster it splits like three times one to the EPS one to the ABS and the other to the cluster. Getting the EPS to work was my biggest issue it needs a tach signal and a speed signal to operate correctly.
