Surely it cant be a difficult task ( with the correct know how which I do not possess ) to build a controller for a small motor thats speed is controlled from a modern day VSS output ?
And with some user adjustability built in as it will be used on different cars

Anyone here have any insight into such a thing ? Or how it might be achieved ?

Just curious really, I dont need one myself but it is something people doing conversions could need more often and the few current solutions that exist really arent that great.

Was hoping you'd reply....pity Ive no clue how to do the above lol

There's an opening in the market for such a piece.

The Abbot X item I used to use does what you say. Calibration is achieved by dip switches and the rather large motor is housed in a bit metal box along with the electronics and the motor does have a small trigger wheel on the shaft.
But it isnt that good, and it is very expensive.

A portable unit like some on that thread are trying to achieve where the motor mounts directly to the dash would be ideal.
