Reason being I wont be running a B series throttle body.If your going to do away with the Drive By Wire I would also get rid of the VCT as well and fit a set of Atomic Fixed gears into it. Then you can use any ECU you like on it. I did the same for a guys with an AU, he removed the DBW and put on a proper throttle body and I installed Atomic Fixed Cam gears into it then wired in a WOLF ECU. I will be retro fitting my motor to an older falcon after the summernats and I have already done away with the VCT. lIl wire in a WOLF once its out of the BA. Good luck with it.

Just curious. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78885-any-aftermarket-ecus-that-will-run-the-xr6t-yet/page/2/#findComment-1273306 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you will see much of a power loss removing them infact adjusting them correctly will give you a much better torque curve. I’m also not really looking for fuel economy or emission I’m after the maximum amount of power I can get out of it. Once I start tuning it which is I hope will be next week I will adjust my cams using the vernier sprocket adjustment to get the power where I need it plus running a higher volume oil may affect the VCT. I have not removed the drive by wire yet I’ll do that once its fitted into the older falcon. I don’t want to have to transplant a B series pedal assembly into an older car plus I prefer cable all day every day and not to mention I prefer an aftermarket computer. I’m not really a huge fan of the standard computer for high HP applications I prefer to use an aftermarket unit, don’t get me wrong the standard PCM works great but there are so many more advantages to using a Motec or a Wolf etc. From a tuning point of view I prefer to tune on an aftermarket computer than the standard ECU so much more simpler and it makes more sense to me.

I agree with what you're getting at though :-) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78885-any-aftermarket-ecus-that-will-run-the-xr6t-yet/page/2/#findComment-1273479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 17y 3m 15d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 01/08/12 08:19 AM Share Posted 01/08/12 08:19 AM I had a motec m400 And a receipt coming close to $5k for purchase plus install including a few motec extras. It was tuned well though. My passenger floor never fell out, no loose intake bolts. 5 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78885-any-aftermarket-ecus-that-will-run-the-xr6t-yet/page/2/#findComment-1273509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
