If i where to use a hacked OEM ECU i would go for nissan as they have more 4 coil 4 bangers than other makes . what is the best oem ECU if you want to run crank and cam trigger ?? wich i prefer

Bruce please turn that dog up the right way so we can see what it looks like... and here is a good place to get the parts to mount the second set of injectos

don't worry you high rollers can get $1.12 for every dollar and can possibly drop 10% GST as well

That all depends on what generation you are talking about. I'm talking about pre-OBDII, when the Americans were largely running coil packs, and most other folks were running distributors. To be fair, though, the Ford PCM I referenced also used a dizzy, but is easily converted to wasted spark due to their ignition modules. And whereas dizzies don't require CID, wasted spark systems do.

COP came right after OBDII became largely required. It was pretty easy, as you already had misfire detection. Now that we have VCT all over the place, not only do you have CID, but you also have CMP.

Of course, a lot of folks like to make the GM 4-cylinder turbo work, as it is a speed density system, rather than a metered air system. I am sure people have done it, but I know of only one person who took a naturally aspirated PCM, and made it run a turbocharged computer, without some sort of fuel pressure booster system or whatever crude systems people often use do. That guy was a friend of mine while I was at Ford who make an OBD-II computer run his old OBD-I Turbo Coupe.

Having said that, the reason I am attracted to the Ford is because I'm familiar with it, and I still have a bunch of stuff laying around I could use if I were motivated to try to make it work. Right now I'm more concerned about wheels, (track) tires, and a roll cage than engine power.

Glossary of SAE terms:
PCM - Powertrain Control Module
OBD - On Board Diagnostics (think CARB - Californiat Air Resources Board)
CID - Cylider IDentification
CKP - Crank Position
COP - Coil On-Plug
CMP - Cam Position

I thought about using an EEC-V EDIS system from my 96 Turbo Ford Escort that had a SCT Pro Racer package...but that was all flash tuning which sucks. EEC-IV with EDIS would be pretty sweet to use...not to mention easy to find and cheap.

To my knowledge, almost all of the early Megasquirt guys ran an EDIS from a Ford EEC-IV with their systems. They made a LOT of 1.8L Escorts!!!

You don't want to go EDIS controlled unless you independently control spark and ditch the EDIS module. Unless of course you want to simplicity.

So.....anybody intereted in Haltech?
