EEC-IV tuner

[Mikeshoguy11]

Does it work well for SHO's and if so what can be adjusted and where can I find one...a lot cheaper than a stand alone

 

[Hack]

Two places that I am aware of.

SCTuner
they have one currently availible.

TwEECer
they will be releasing them soon.

From what I have been told the EEC still 'learns' its way lean on the SCTuner. At least on the supercharged SHOs.

The Sean Hyland Motorsports "mafterburner" will also work, but I haven't hooked it up to my sho yet. It is still collecting dust in my closet. headbang

I believe that shonutperformance now carries them. Who better to deal with than Josh. thumb

YellowSHO, the PCM does not "un-learn" the SCtuner on any SHO, supercharged or N/A, unless the programmer does not know what he's doing. While it's true you can't completely disable the Adaptive Control from within the SCtuner, you can experiment with the on/off values for load and ACT to "fool" the PCM into a no-adaptive strategy.

I purchased an SCtuner from Josh back in January and have been using it ever since. I love it. I did have some initial problems getting it to work with my factory PCM, but it was a one-off case with my particular unit. Most people shouldn't have any installation and compatibility problems with the tuner. If you do, then Josh is the man to deal with. He gave me a good deal on my tuner and has helped me with all the problems I've had along the way. Him and Spyros have also worked with me in getting the extra tranny functions implemented for the ATX (line pressure, etc). Josh is a great guy and has gone out of his way several times to help me. I would highly recommend going through him.

Thats cool. I have been doing some research lately on alternatives to the LPM. These are the most cost effective route. As Mikeshoguy11 stated, stand alones are expensive. This information (the unlearning thing) was given to me by someone else. It is very possible that I misunderstood them. Thanks for setting the record straight. This makes me want to purchase one again! thumb

http://www.modulardepot.com/?=sct has a preorder form from super chip custom . sct racer pkg is $449 and the pro racer is $795 . from all the reading o've been doing on it the taurus platorm is supported in this software . www.superchipscustom..com has a download for the demo .

I have talked to Mike Glover of Tweecer, and he had worked with josh on his unit. Last info I had they are done and ready to go. Nice thing with that one is you can switch programs on the fly, without shutting the car off.

$380 is a pretty sweet deal and if Josh T. worked on it with him I'm betting that the unit will work well for the SHO's.

If he's been sworn into secrecy like me, he can't say. wink

Not quite. There are many others than Josh that have worked to bring the new tuner out. That's not to discredit Josh at all, because I have nothing but respect for him and he knows that. I just like to see credit where credit is due and I think that the other people involved would also.

It's a small detail I suppose.

Josh has done a spectacular job of getting the correct binary codes to work from, a place I went wrong.

the EEC-V has an adaptive nature that tends to un-learn piggy-backs such as chips. i think kirk can tell you about his experience with that one.

Gotcha. Didn't know if we were talking about the same thing. Regardless, my lips are still sealed!

I'd very much like to hear Kirk's input on the subject. Just like most of us, I've heard of both the EEC-IV and V "unlearning" chips in the past. Yet, while I'm no expert with Ford's EEC system, I'd have to guess that it's something the chip programmers are (or aren't) doing which is causing unlearning to take place.

Mikey - I didn't mean to discount the work you and others had put in there. Last word I had was the josh helped with the final testing and troubleshooting of the last bugs or wahtever. I thouhgt this whole thing had been discussed elsewhere and I didn't want to post a long drawn out post about who helped, and who did what. Just the end. But I cot this forum mixed up with the www.superhighoutput.com discussion on this.
