The new engines add a level of complexity because they tend to have variable valve timing, and sometimes it's a matter of decoding a specific engine's vvt system. I know the 1.8t/vr6 are pretty popular speeduino projects, and I've seen several other modernish engines running off of this setup. From what I can tell, that EA390 in the R36 is a VR6, but I'm not current enough to know what they've altered on the newer versions. I bet it could be done, but then you're likely also going to be figuring out discrepancies between the body control module and OEM ECU which might make the car a pain in the ass to deal with. The older cars are definitely a lot easier for a solution like this because there aren't as many codependent electronics that the ECU and dash are expecting to see.
You're probably better off in that car with just a good tune instead. They can typically turn 'features' like that off and tune for fun/responsiveness instead of for emissions standards. Here's one option:

I bought the pcb from them. It was only $10. You can find several variants and custom versions on ebay and whatnot. Ordered parts from Digikey

Thanks for the recommendations on the other sites and KiCad and whatnot. I'm not super well versed with any of this but I'm using Speeduino as sort of an entry point to figure it all out. Their github and wiki documentation is actually pretty extensive. Here's the git for the gerber/bom and everything. They've got a forum full of user projects as well. https://github.com/speeduino/Hardware/tree/main/v0.4/THT/Latest
