Its been an item on my bucket list for the car since I heard of their release. Heard some people having issues here and there, same goes for other ecu brands so I'm not concerned. I am concerned that its completely disappeared from their site, though 🤣 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/10289/#findComment-1712054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farken hurt my head working it all out but meh.

I agree, but I still want one 🤣 It has so. many. features. And I'm a sucker for features Is there any way to fit a wb02 sensor to the stock ECU and use it in PCMTec? Also, got my resposne from Haltech, and its quite sad 😞 Damn components shortage has struck another victim. "Unfortunately the Barra plug in is currently out of stock and we have no current ETA due to a worldwide shortage of an electronic component used on these ECU's. Some of our Dealers may have stock on their shelves which you would be able to purchase, however we are not able to produce anymore to sell at this current time. Please let me know if you have any questions " Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/10289/#findComment-1712068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can log afr with the rest of the pcm related stuff by using a dlp8 thingo. You can set up a map switch based off a voltage/rpm, so in theory you could get it to switch maps if it leaned out past a certain rpm. With an arduino I don't see why you couldn't set up fmem or map switching based of however many variables you want. Pcmtec does antilag/launch control/momentary map switch for scramble boost etc via the cruise control button, map switching with steering wheel buttons, flex fuel and various other window switch type actions. You can do map sensor switching at a certain voltage so you can retain the drivability of the stock tmap and then run as much boost as you want. You have extra features to tune locked/massive cams so it will idle decently etc. Anyhow there's a bit more info than you asked for Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44361-the-off-topic-thread/page/10289/#findComment-1712069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring yourself over (when you're out of iso) with an atomic timing kit and we'll refresh your old beast.

From the sound of it most of the work you need done is getting the car to actually car properly.

So you reckon it might have the better rods in it? Would be a good thing if it does.
