Hi Sir,
there is nothing to tune really..
Just make sure the plugs are fine, the gaps are ok, the airfilter is clean - oil and filter changed..
your car has a full engine management system, there is nothing there that the tuners can do.
if you have had a head gasket fitted, then no...
Hi Ben
1: a ford ecu
yes - a generic family of ecu fitted to virtually the entire ford range from the mid 80s up to late 90s
2: ability to control an entire engine from fuelling to ignition.
Absolutely, and more
3: can it handle forced indution?
Yes, with mods and a pressure...
Hi Nick,
hmmmmmm. I presume the following as I am not familiar with your setup.
the module, amp n coil need to be operated as a set, the coil is probably a high discharge unit fed from the amp, the module may well taylor the signal..
the boost r****d would be a simple sample and hold...
anytime Sir.
ps, hows the head business going ??.. and did ya get the flow bench sorted ??
I have an idea for a homemade flow meter if u r interested..
Just use a high volume pump - pressure dont need to be too high (aquarium air pumps are great (not the tank ones LOL, the rotary ones...

Cheers Ben M8..
check out this doc on my site..

it is a bloody good learning tool for engine management.. this is for the eec-iv ford unit, but is extremely useful.
Joe.
ps......
If u want other info for study, I can send...

Barry, also regarding the comment the ecu wont know what its doing
yes it can be made to do so.. the biggest issue is the map sensor - as it cannot see boost.
what needs doing is to apply boost pressure to the atmospheric (open to air_ port on the map sensor. the atmospheirc reading or...
Hi Barry, no Sir, I am NOT
the fueling mechanism will be either an inline booster pump with electronic controller or an engine management system. (I did state this above)
at such low boost levels there should be no real problems.. the on board ecu detonation (knock sensor) will take care...
Hi Ben.
skimming the pistons or pocketing can often decrease the valuable amount of strength in this critical area, it would be fairly easy to use Reno Vel Satis pistons me thinks.. forged ones may be a good investment..
Engine management is one of my hobbies.. we have a ford eec-iv unit...

I have no probs with the vts et al.. a good car.
check out this link for details of what can be done...

also, gmc offer a 180 BHP @ the WHEELS conversion...
thats bloody awesome !

hee hee.. (Off topic - )
heres a shot of my last supercharged project LOL..
this is my water cooled Pentium 4 ig running at 3ghz !!
My bride is convinced I have a screw loose...

Hi Paul.
Thanks M8.. I would appreciate any input you guys can offer.
the goal is not only to supercharge it, but also to keep the unit (in the first stage of the project) as close to manufacturers spec as possible - ie, make no huge changes to the engine bay. it must be capable of being...
Hi Simon LOLOL...
just ONE marsbar... ??
What I can do is document the process so that if it turns out ok, there is a plan for others to follow.
I have no probs with that at all.

Stu, lol
if you want any of this explaining, just let me know.
there are quite a few guys on here that could help decode this too.
Joe..
in a nutshell.... the engine is an air pump..
increase the pressure of the inlet air and you get a bigger bang (providing fuelling is correct)...

Hi Ben,
there are several possibilities.
first, increase the fuel pressure on boost only (using an inline pump much the same as a shower booster pump)
run a dedicated management system...
or, increase the fuel pressure by electronically controlling the pump regulator in the tank (If...
