I am in the process of converting my EA to an EL BBM setup.
I changed the loom from the EL one to the EA MPFI loom, now my questions are: -will the BBM work with my EA ISC?? -do the EA and EL ones work the same? -will the EL ECU control the EA one happily?? Thanks David

Thanks David the best thing to do is use the EL ecu with the EL engine/ECU looms this way you will be able to run the BBM vacume controller the knock sensor and thermo's, for more info just do a seacch "BBM Conversion" lots of ppl on here have done it and all your questions can be answered in those threads.. i did mine using the info i found on this site.. good luck..

hi
the ea isc will work ok on the ea and the el ecu .. so that wont be a problem. here is a link to my conversion.. you will find the info on the bbm conversion into ea .. http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=85 |

Be aware that the EL ecu will not start in the EA due to the missing smartlock signal, you will need a smartlock override module to provide the ecu with the correct signal for it to work.

Hello, I have Smartlock Bypass Modules available if you need one.
Best Regards. Muzza |

hows this for the easy way
fit bbm fit solenoid goto jaycar get rpm switch kit assemble kit wire it all up start playing it all works fine on a ea ecu with the rpm switch!!!! |

The EL ecu is a much better option though...
Hes obviously changing to BBM for performance reasons, so why not get the spark and fuel maps to suit? We did some testing in an EA 5 speed with the std EA MPFI intake, swapping only the std EA manual ecu with an EL Auto ecu resulted in a 0.4 sec quicker 1/4 mile, with no other changes. Add a few degrees of timing and the BBM intake to this, and you will probably gain another 2 - 3 tenths |
