eff xr6t Member 569 Member For: 11y 2m 15d Posted 27/03/14 12:21 PM Share Posted 27/03/14 12:21 PM Hey guys new to the xr6 turbo tuning side of things so got a few questions that I'm sure some of you will know the answers toFirstly I'm planning on putting a bf xr6 turbo motor into my el xr6 and plan on running the bf ecu standalone but the motor I plan on running doesn't have an ecu with it so my question is are all ba/bf ecu's the same like can I load a bf turbo tune into a non turbo ecu will it function or is there more pins on a turbo ecu or something that will not allow it to work.Second question is probably a stupid question but I plan on using a SCT xcal tuner to tune the bf ecu and I have found one second hand for $500 locally so can they be used multiple times on different cars? and are they the only way to tune the bf ecu or is there other ways to do it?Sorry for what seems like stupid questions but I'm used to running an aftermarket ecu in my el xr6 ATM and don't really know much about the B series electronics tuning side of things.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hand controller involved with that one. The SCT tuner can be used on 5 vehicles one at a time. Vehicle has to be returned to stock before it can be unlocked for another.

As far as I'm aware a BA generic tune won't load onto a BF because they are a different ECU.I'm assuming you are getting a generic tune so you can get it to a dyno and have someone do a real tune on it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're gonna wanna get the turbo ECU then load your tune into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
