Ive thought about doing an "how to" but there are just to many vairables to cover all the ecu's. Ive done a year and model specific set of instrucion but out of the six people that have had a go, only three have got it running.
Functions / pin numbers and colours are differant depending on model spec and year.
Getting it wrong can cause damage or even fire.
None are that hard when you know how it works. But I do love engine managment systems and the engines.
I am a big fan of using the oe ecu. It starts on the button and idles as a factory car would. It has instant power and torque with good economy. Best of all its plug and play, there is no tunning.
I will agree, power will be down a touch on other set ups but not by as much as you would think. A four branch mani and a free flowing inlet set up should see a well proven (in fast ford circles) 150bhp.
165 is prety much the max on a zetec with out head work and cams.
So what price is the 15bhp worth to You ????????? The more you make the less you spend.....
To give you an idea....
Ecu and rdif chips.....just nipped up the post office to pick up a £10 ebay ecu. Came with two rdif chips. Just to show how few wires are needed to arm and dis-arm the immobilzer, a picture.
