Does anyone offer any EEC tuners that are not heavily priced? I see a lot for newer Mustangs, and Powerstrokes, but none for the Fox. I know there is tweecer and similar products, but they are way too much for me for what I would like to do. i don't want a chip because they have no real user adjustability....

EEC Tuners for for under 300 usually on Ebay.

Then seach for the Yahoo groups. Easy enough to use, but I am not sure if the A9L group has switch over to the PCMX software like the 2.3 Turbo guys have. Makes it ALOT easier since you have everything know for its locations. Otherwise, your playing in hex code.

I found a DIY EFI site that has Ford J3 port adapters and allows oyu to burn your own chips, but I dont think it's very user freindly, I hate hex.....I'd rather have it all in GUI, i found a program that allows yo to tune with this chip, but the program itself is $149

I got my EEC tuner off of Ebay , never used, for 240.

The thing about the tuner is that you have a ton of people playing with it, so the support is there.

I guess this all depends on what your looking for it to do. I need it to run 54lb injectors or larger , and there is no other way, unless I go to a stand alone.

So you need to think if what your looking to do requires it. The way I see it, it can replace the cost of buying one thing, but you can get many things out of it. Such as buying a timing retard ignition. You can do the same thign with a tuner for the same money, and you can do more.

Well I would like to adjust my fuel curves, and such. Im not sure if it's possible to have the EEC program the MAF to accept certain injectors or not. But that would be nice as well....

What is the name of your tuner, or who makes it?

Its called an "EEC TUNER" by shiftmaster. Seems to be one of the original companys from teh guys on the EEC4 list from long ago that kinda went there seperate ways.

It can pretty much change whatever you want to change in it.

Why not sign up for the yahoo mailing list and scan through soem info about one before you buy one.

I've heard of EEC-Tuner, it sits right below Tweecer. I would love to have a Tweecer, but I'm not willing to spend $550 on one. And I don't have a laptop, only a couple desktop PCs. I'm still looking into the DIY tuners/chips...

The EEC-tuner will work with your desktop computer. It comes with an AC adapter for your EEC computer. There is a free GUI that you can download from http://www.eec-tuner.com/guieectuner/ . This software is what the SCT software that everyone is talking about is based off of. Same guy wrote it. Simple windows interface that is simple to edit. For about $300 bucks you get datalogging and the ability to edit any parameter in your EEC. I have both the EEC-tuner and the TwEECer and personally I prefer the EEC-tuner. The software is easier to use.
