profrat Member 126 Member For: 21y 7m Location: Eastern Victoria Posted 26/08/04 12:14 PM Share Posted 26/08/04 12:14 PM I keep hearing rumours of a new bit of kit that will allow tuners to edit the stock ECU in the ford XR6T. Can someone enlighten us to where this is at as of now and how much longer we will have to wait for it. I am assuming that such ability will make all the piggy back interceptors obsolete. Is this so?

Changing all the parememters and keeping the accurate fuel usage data and all that is cool A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 7m 21d Posted 30/08/04 11:19 AM Share Posted 30/08/04 11:19 AM My T is booked in for the scanner / reflash 27 Sept. The following info was provided by the designated WA Tuner; At this stage all up cost for install with before/after dyno circa $1,100. Over a 4/5 day period the techs. from the US will be working with a WA tuner to develop various maps for a number of Fords I.e. XR8, GT and XR6 T as well as allowing for some modification varients I.e. one map for a stock T and one for a T with exhaust modes etc. Plan is to provide the customer with a TV type controller that will allow the user to switch between 3 maps - stock, fast and pushing the limits, the later peaking at around 300 - 320fwkw. Question is, what is the safe limit ? Chances are that the techs. involved would be far less knowledgeable on the subject than a number of forum members.It would be fair to say that if the product was to be an attractive option to the existing piggy backs, the flexibility for additional kw would have to be available however the Tuner was unable to comment on this. Fair to say that alot is unknown until the wise men from the US arrive.Once again - info provided by Tuner so I am sure Barry of BT will be able to clarify if I have been misinformed.

Paranormal Member 469 Member For: 21y 5m 6d Location: Brissy Posted 30/08/04 11:53 AM Share Posted 30/08/04 11:53 AM Sounds a little dangerous, being able to mod your ECU without nessesary hardware like injectors, fuel pump ect to keep up, but by the sound of it 3 maps is not giving you full control either. Just imagine someone with full contorl just pumping the boost to 12psi or 20psi without any other mods LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 31/08/04 03:44 AM Share Posted 31/08/04 03:44 AM I go to sleep thinking of the new mods for my car XR6 and I wake up thinking of them too. Everyones talking XR6 T and XR8s + GT but theres almosts nothing for the XR6 when you think about it theres one or two more N/A XR6s out there than the Turbos XRs and XR8s. So wheres the after market support?Why don't after market parts companys look after the 90% of Ford drivers as well as the lucky 10% who drive the good sh*t? I want more power just like the next guy.Will this product work for N/A 4L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
