Re: Cam sync sensor type w external edis8?

Howdy,

For an EEC-IV ecu you must use a Hall effect cam sensor.

For an EEC-V ecu you must use a VR cam sensor.

Re: 351 to EEC V camsensor ?

Howdy,

Yes, MSD no longer makes the cam plug but a regular 351W distributor can be modified as well.

Re: 351 to EEC V camsensor ?

Gowdy,

I built my own from a MSD cam sync plug and a 4.6 cam sensor.

Easy peazy. Works great.

Re: Isn't it catch 22, tune MAF first or injectors first?

Howdy, You need to use accurate injector data. Once you have this, all your fueling corrections will be made elsewhere. Mitch I thought I was using accurate fuel injector data -- it is common data found for the Siemens Deka 60lb injectors. AHISL = 60.2676 ALOSL = 63.1876 Breakpoint = 3.3628 Offsets ...

Re: Maf for Siemens Deka 60lb Inj.

Howdy,

I'm running the SD 60lb injectors on my 414W stroker with a '06 Ford slot MAF in a 4" OD tube. Runs great but did take a little tweaking.

Like everyone stated, dump the PMS and get a QH.

Re: VBAT reading "0" on datalog.

Problem solved:

It was a bad ECU. I switched to a spare ecu, installed the QH, downloaded my tune and it runs!

I still have a lot of tuning to do but it actually runs.

VBAT reading "0" on datalog.

Howdy, I've been running very rich and unable to figure out why until now. It's because while dataloging VBAT is reading "0". This throws the injector offset vs voltage out of whack since it uses the "0.0" voltage reading which is 2.41ms instead of something around 1ms. When I set my offset at 0.0 V...

Howdy,

I would use an American EEC-V CDAN4 ECU from a '96-97 Ford T-bird with a 3.8 V-6 and sailorbob's def file.

It's the same strategy that's used in the '96-97 Mustang GT and it's fully cracked.

Download Decipha's ZXA5 base tune, add your stuff and you'll be up and running.

Howdy,

I'm using the SD 60lb injectors but instead of using the stated minpw of 1.391 I used .599 which is from the 80lb units IIRC.

For cranking PW just follow Decipha's formula. I had to drop my numbers .1 in every cell.

Howdy Soup, From a different POV: If you're concerned about how loud it is when idling, why not just add mufflers? With a properly setup exhaust you will not lose any or very little power. Or if you're concerned about a few horsepower, you can add electrically operated exhaust dumps to the exhaust s...
