FiftyOne Bronze Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 10y 9m 23d Gender: Male Posted 10/05/15 07:41 AM Share Posted 10/05/15 07:41 AM I'm not really in the market for a new ECU, but I was debating with a mate about engine management for B/F series turbo's and after a quick google discovered there isn't really an aftermarket option for a plug&play unit. Some of the well known brands do P&P kits for a few models but deffinately not the fords. I suppose this is because the xcal & the HPTuners setups are able to deal with reflashing pretty easy. Anyone know of any I didn't see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happened with the ez36 mcm were putting in a liberty. Amazing bit of kit, granted their is a fair bit more to do with the falcon as its not a standalone engine scenario but surely the falcon and commonwhore have to part of the target market. Other than jap stuff what else is commonly modified in aus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something the factory units have in spades. Thus making it a tough nut to crack given the proven solutions already available with SCT and vcm.The main attraction for me is proper flex fuel compatibility and a tune that once set up properly just adjusts itself no matter what's in the tank. If the factory ecu's could do that. Wouldn't give 2 farks bout haltech. Edited 11/05/15 07:16 AM by barnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other info you can divulge us with jetwombatplug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can work out the rest A good aftermarket ECU has all of what you guys have listed and more and iam using it with a big project coming up ..... Even has a self learn/tune to start up function Auto latency for any size injector going u name it, it's got it with a great rep !Haltech on the other hand has had good units and can't knock em all down but when u weigh up expansion modules, hard wire etc etc it just doesn't stack up especially when ya have direct info on tuners using the equipment first hand Bloody EMS get a plug before hally lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
