yeah that one is for the A9L mustang eecIV

it gives a good idea of what to expect when we get the ability to tune our own aussie EECs

and it does show just how lacking the aftermarket ECUs are

I'd like to post a bit about Megasquirt-II if I may:

MS-II. Cost approx $250-$300, extra looms/cables - DIY

Pros: Very cheap, 12x12 3D fuel and spark tables, (capability to go up to 24x24) user definable RPM/MAP points, Alpha-N (throttle) or MAP tuning, 24Mhz processor, wideband support, can be configured to use any temp sensor, datalogging, off-line auto-tuning, realtime tuning, 3 loadbands for wideband closed loop, stepper motor control, enormous support, capable for tuning up to 250kPa (21 Psi boost), full set of compensation tools (battery voltage comp, barometric comp, either at start-up or continuous, air temp, coolant temp) Dual table for fuel and spark (i.e. you can run two sets of injectors used at different stages, say 1 set used below 3000RPM and one set used above 3000RPM) Very stable windows, unix and linux tuning software, rev limiter, traction control.

Cons: DIY construction takes time and is not suited to a lot of people, banked injection, traction control is crude at this stage and analyses engine RPM to determine wheel spin.



The MSII is a versitile low cost solution (for those with electronic construction experience) with some tuning experience. It is very adaptable.

An alternative woth considering would be the TWEECER RT - http://www.tweecer.com/ It is available with logging capability, and interfaces to a number of original Ford ECU's, but has the ability fo modify the fuel & spark mappings (plus a bunch of other stuff).

Just not many EEC's here Dave, unfortunately :(
Mainly EB-ED V8's, however supposedly a select few 6 cylinder EEC's are supported.

i think there should be a new update to this thread.

alot has changed lately and most of the ECUs you don't have to pay extra for looms and the like.

Just checked out the new software.

WOW! they have really improved! Looks like an excellent option now. Really impressed with the real time tuning and user selectable RPM and Load sites. Also autotune reads a wide band lambda directly! Saves $400 for seperate lambda controller. + a free basemap.

Wait for the full review.....

You mean thre was a time when they didn't have closed loop mode? Yikes. Way to catch up with 35 year old technology.

For the record I have found that with closed loop in cars with man sized cam they blow a lot of intake out the exhaust down low which messes with the o2 sensor, which in turn teaches the ecu a bad tune.
That is why i tend to turn it off these days.
