The "self tune" is limited to the fuel map. You have to set up the entire tune.leaning towards the holley as i understand its self tuning...
Yeah lots of info.. overload sometimes... So many options and choices and ways to get this done... Know I need a chip and injectors and probably wise to upgrade maf meter and fuel pump. Thanks, appreciate the helpThe "self tune" is limited to the fuel map. You have to set up the entire tune.leaning towards the holley as i understand its self tuning...
Once running, and the correct parameters set, the system will dial in the fuel.
Cal has a FAST sportsman system, that would do what you want. He has first class help w/ startup, t/s, after the sale.
A stock engine, w/some upgrades, would be an ideal place for the addons, such as MAF translator, P Logger, wideband, etc.
I'm sure the "go fast" guys, with the stock ecms, will be in to help get you up and running.
Do some searching... Lots of info here.
Well reliability is at the top of the list. Was going to get this new "old" engine in with some upgrades to the bolt ons (headers, maf, injectors, fuel pump, wiring kits from Casper's, fuel.pressure and wideband gauges) then when I swap this freshened stock engine into my car I was going to have my blown engine rebuilt or go with an aluminum block if I can save the cash...either way add some aluminum heads and ported intake and get my spare brf beefed up...It sounds like a chip would be just fine for what you are doing . Stock rebuild . I would put that money into something else like a nice bottom end . Is there a reason you are looking to get a different ecm? Is your wiring all bad ? What are your goals with this rebuild ?
Yeah, well just want it fast and reliable above all else. And willing to sacrifice some speed for the reliability. Just didn't want to buy some parts that I can't use later on but it's kinda hard to get parts for a mild engine that will work well in something more powerful..Okay that’s definitely not a mild rebuild if you are going to end up with a aluminum block . That’s a fully built motor big bucks so yea I’d look into a ms3 or I know Eric from turbo tweak has a new Ecm coming out soon that looks interesting
I see where you are coming6 from . You can have the strongest best parts on the earth and stuff still can break . It really comes down to a knowledgeable person who knows these motors assembling it for you . For a aluminum block there is only 2-3 ppl I would trust to do it right .Yeah, well just want it fast and reliable above all else. And willing to sacrifice some speed for the reliability. Just didn't want to buy some parts that I can't use later on but it's kinda hard to get parts for a mild engine that will work well in something more powerful..
I need a chip now, and definitely new injectors, and maf meter. Can't ID my chip in the ecm and injectors are old red tops (30# I think)
Was thinking instead of a chip, just get something tuneable... But I see your point. Maybe better to wait till I need something more than the stock ECM
I have the power logger, you suggest a scan master as well? Looking for a wideband and fuel pressure gauge now... thanksYou can go plenty fast on a stock ECM with a wide band chip from TT . Eric's chips are real close right out of the box , and if you add a Powerlogger it will be very easy to make adjustments . There are always Powerloggers & Scanmasters in the for sale section to save some cash .
I'm at low 10's with a stock ECM .
Yes , mainly it will show you any knock retard & O2 milivolt readings at the time of the knock event without having to log every time you drive the car . It gives you most of the info the ECM see's and you can dial your car in pretty close with this info plus Powerlogger data logs .you suggest a scan master as well?
No , you would need a wide band chip from TT . I would get in touch with Eric @ Turbo Tweak , tell him what you plan on doing . He will get you going in the right direction . He also sells injectors . He has a chip , injector combo on his site .I just swap out the narrowband sensors and run wideband sensors?
