Martman Member 6 Member For: 20y 1m 17d Posted 08/05/05 01:14 PM Share Posted 08/05/05 01:14 PM Any updates on this yet?We are looking for an ECU to run the XR6 Turbo motor we have transplanted into our circuit car. We want to run the cam control, but will do away with the throttle and probably make our own inlet manifold with a conventional cable controlld throttle?Martman Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11642-ecu/#findComment-250908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martman Member 6 Member For: 20y 1m 17d Posted 08/05/05 01:39 PM Share Posted 08/05/05 01:39 PM How do you control the electronic throttle when the engine is not in a falcon, we do not run the falcon ECU and do not use the ford wiring?By doing away with it there are so many more options of ECU available Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11642-ecu/#findComment-250918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to run it with any aftermarket ECU and not have to worry about too much. Just find out what sort of cam angle sensing it uses, how it provides spark etc ad find an ecu that does what you want it to. I have had a lot of fun with a Haltech E6K and the E6X looks much better, but I would probably go for a Motec or an E11. It all depends on how much money you wanna spend I guess. The ECU controls a lot of other stuff besides the engine ie trac control, ABS and such. Just get an ECU that has enough outputs to control timing, injectors, boost, tacho etc etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11642-ecu/#findComment-250984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretzel EMS makes MAGIC MUMBO ! Member 192 Member For: 21y 5m 25d Location: Melbourne Posted 09/05/05 02:58 AM Share Posted 09/05/05 02:58 AM Why not look at the EMS, there are a number of them running in XR6T's, and especially if you do throttle manually, this would be the perfect option...

xr6_prod Member 46 Member For: 20y 3m 16d Posted 09/05/05 10:48 AM Share Posted 09/05/05 10:48 AM I use Motec - it can do the lot. For more information contact Ric Shaw Performance in Sydney.Motec may cost more - however he has worked all the bugs out.
