Does this work with LPG systems? Would it be ideal for a straight gas setup?

Hi Damoo,

Yes it can alter the spark side along with idle, limiters etc for a straight LPG setup.

Awesome, so basically what we have here is lots of the goodies of an aftermarket ECU but using the factory ECU?

I have an EL Fairmont Ghia and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep the speed sensitive power steering but change the ROM for a manual ECU when I eventually convert to manual?

Yep, thats it!

Previously.we couldn't keep SPSS with a manual, but as of recent times we can do this too.

What are the benefits of using a manual ROM vs an auto ROM with resistors?

Better idle control, rev hang, and no fault codes are the main reasons.

hi, interested in getting a J3 chip for my car - roughly how much improvement could I expect from the chip with the following setup?

97 EL, 5spd
977B cam, extractors, 2.5" exhaust, slightly modified intake

car has had some issues with a flat spot around 3200-3500 rpm, and last time it was on the dyno (different but similar cam, so not much help) was running really rich & around 140rwkw, but generally idles OK... could the chip help with the flat spot problems?

cheers

Hey mate,

With that combo you should see some good power and economy increases, especially in the midrange. I normally expect 5-10% in the top end.

The flat spot sounds like it is close to the BBM switch (3800rpm). Normally this can be mostly tuned out but there is always some change around this point.

Cheers,
Jason

Hey guys been using a TI J3 chip on my el for a while but I have a few questions about other uses. Is it possible to use a chip loaded with an EF bin in a AU Series 1 smartlock car, Reason being able to control the shift pattern which does not appear in the AU def ?. Also I was wanting to look at the Tickford LPG spark adv table but when viewing it I only seem to see the normal petrol table I understand there will be dual tables as it was duel fuel so is there a special definition to allow viewing of the lpg tables ?.

Hi Maca,

No, you can't use an EF bin on an AU. The chip will work fine in an AU though, with an AU bin.

LPG spark maps are available in most if not all bin/def combos. Send me a PM with what bin/def you're trying to look at.

I've searched Fordmods for the answer on this, but can't find it, so forgive me if this has already been covered.

With the J3 chip (EF XR6 auto), are we able to control the acceleration enrichment (or "tip-in") - ie, can we unlock the function that adds fuel depending on how fast the TPS is changing? I can't find it in any of the maps on my chip.

If the enrichment is built-in and can't be adjusted, does it tend to over-fuel or under-fuel on acceleration with a mildly modified NA 6?

Thanks a bunch.

Tip in hasnt been unlocked in the definitions, nor have i seen a need to use it. I havent noticed any problems with it over or underfuelling.

Im am about to do an engine and transmission change on my NL. I will be putting in an AU V8 and a manual gear box.

I will be keeping the stock 55mm MAF
want to keep SPSS
moving the IAC into the intake piping as per AU setup
wont have EGR
using the AU blue injectors
still running disy.

easy enough done?

I would love to have a go myself but not too sure...

Should be simple to achieve. Just need a NL SPSS V8 box code to start from and to tweak the required parameters.

Cheers,
Jason

hey guys my ef is tuned with a ti chip and i was wondering if anyone has heard of the chip forgetting its data and going back to what the standard ecu has on it.
