    Question about camshaft + 94-95 ECU incompatibility

    Our 700+ RWHP turbo 95 has a pretty radical cam and it can be daily driven. It drives pretty close to stock with a T4M0 and a tune. We just finished up a customer's 95 with a T-trim, Ed cam and Dart 347 that should have stock driveability - it made over 600 to the tire. Of the 94-95 cars we...

    Getting rid of the KB FMU

    With a Flowzilla an adjustable FPR is usually out of the question unless you get a remote unit. You can only use the stock unit and in fact you will have to cut a little off the nipple to get the Flowzilla to fit - you'll also need a 90* vacuum fitting as well - it's all very tight. You also may...

    Getting rid of the KB FMU

    The 90mm LMAF is NOT calibrated to any injector size at all - you WILL need a tune for it to work, unless of course the previous owner sent it out to PMAS to have it 'calibrated' and I doubt that. For the MAF, you need a MAF filter adapter - it adapts the MAF for a 4" round conical filter...

    XCal 2 Gear Ratio Question

    Nope, once you return it to stock, you lose the ability to adjust anything.

    Street tune or off the shelf tune??

    A lot of that is old style thinking - Back when everyone did chips, this was entriely correct - nowadays you can get VERY close to dynotune quality via mail order as long as you have the right equipment and are willing to work at it. You need an XCal 2, a laptop and a wideband that'll also...

    SCT 3 livewire OR DiabloSport Tuner

    I'm a dealer for BOTH SCT and Diablo. They BOTH do a great job. I sell a lot more SCT units than Diablo though because people prefer them. I'd go for either the X3 or the XCal 2 with both the tunes will be the same. The Xcal 2 is older, but more 'mature' and has a proven track record. The X3 is...

    SCT 3 livewire OR DiabloSport Tuner

    It isn't Livewire 2 & 3. The Livewire is the $500+ unit that sits on your dash after a flash and displays all the information. The Xcalibrator 2 and X3 are probably what you mean - they are both $379 - well from me they are - the Xcal 2 is older VERY relaible. The new X3 has more memory and a...

    Tune

    We are in Ohio, we work for SCT training other SCT dealers, I'm the author of SCT's Pro Racer Tuning Manual and the SCT Dealer's tuning manual as well as some other tuning info - so I think we are pretty much qualified - our shop is in Columbus - we also do mail order tuning. Check out our...

    System Too Lean

    If the MAF were the issue BOTH banks would show an error. The most probable cause is a tiny exhaust leak on the driver's side, somewhere ahead of the front 02 sensor. A tiny pinpoint leak will allow air leaks into the exhaust which will skew readings and trip the code. Other causes can be a...

    sct liveload question

    You can't. You use a .ll3 file for LiveLoad - you need a .xtr file for Extreme Tune the dealer has to supply it for you. If you DO use Extreme tune you lose the on-device adjustability. Don

    SCT tuner question?

    Since I wrote the Xcal 2 instructions for SCT, I'm preeeety sure what I said was accurate... If was turned back to stock, LiveLoad should be able to unlock it without SCT's intervention. It will need custome tunes thoug if it's a 9400... Don

    SCT tuner question?

    If your computer is seeing the Xcal, you don't need additional drivers. You should have hit the unlock button - doesn't need to be repaired. If it won't unlock that way, then the previous owner never returned it to stock

    SCT tuner question?

    Actually, if he DID return it to stock, all you need to do is to download a copy of LiveLoad from SCT's website (free), also get the USB drivers from SCT, connect the XCal to your computer and then use LiveLoad to unlock it yourself. No $100 necessary for that. If he did NOT set it back to...

    Dyno Results - SAE or STD?

    Thanks Grady. Here's a god one. We were training an SCT dealer in another state a few years back. The dyno owner told me he had a guy there one time with a Mustang trying to tune it himself. After a while, this guy was getting desperate for better numbers. A little while later he notices the...

    Dyno Results - SAE or STD?

    Rob, who runs the shop and set up the dyno would know better, but I don't think there is a 1:1 ratio between std and sae. I think it's all weather dependent. This summer when it was hot out, really hot, he was telling me the correction was like 60 RWHP on some cars. Each Dynojet has its own...

    Dyno Results - SAE or STD?

    The 'standard' that most numbers are derived from are SAE numbers - that's what we use. They are lower, but tend to be a more accurate reflection of the real world numbers corrected for atmospheric conditions. Some dyno operators like to use STD because the numbers are higher. You can also get...

    SCT blue chip???

    The blue chips are NOT SCT chips, they are Superchips, Inc. chips. They cannot be reburned. You need either a red SCT chip or the newest green circuit board SCT chips. Be careful with used ones too - because I've seen some that people wanted me to reburn, and they were hosed - could not be...

    quick ? about adjusting parameters on SCT

    04 - Your dealer either did not enable adjustable parameters in your custom tunes or he has the earlier version of SCT's software where he cannot enable them. Because with an '04 GT it should be an option on a custom tune if enabled. The other thing is when we update tunes for our customers, we...

    lightning maf and focus fuel pump?

    Good choice on the Cobra tank and pumps - I've seen Focus pumps on the dyno max out at like 360ish and some go to like 450ish, so it all depends. If you go to twin Ford GT pumps with the cobra tank, keep in mind you need two FPDMs, just like the Ford GTs so they will flow at max - if you don't...
