[Diy_efi] EEC-V Tuning

[Daniel Nicoson]

For the price of a MS you could have the Moates equipment and have FULL
control of your EEC-V, no hardware hacks etc.

You mentioned cost being a significant issue here.  Properly controlling
your tune is easily as important as any other parts you may have bolted on.
Those parts often turn to junk without proper control of operating
parameters.  Don't short sell yourself on proper control of the engine.

Good luck with the project.

no distributor to rotate...

I should see if I can do that to the cam angle sensor though, as a dizzy
fits into the same hole.

And I came across an interesting theory on www.fordforums.com.au (the '400hp
for $5000' thread in the eseries section, my username there is BLSTIC).
Apparently its possible for the megasquirt ecu to use the cam angle sensor
while the ford ecu is also using it. This can lead to full megasquirt spark
control, with the ford computer injecting its usual amount of fuel for non
boosted conditions, and the megasquirt also supplying extra fuel (via
another set of six injectors) under boost conditions only. The only problem
with this approach is that the cam angle sensor signal is too weak for the
ford computer to function properly (as it is also being 'used' by the
megasquirt), leading to fuel injection problems.

If that were to be done, the only reason I would want the ford computer
still there is to control the dash, auto trans, trip computer, and
diagnostic functions. It also cuts out a lot of mapping.

thoughts?
