PC1 ECU

[mikewm]

Hello everybody! Ive been glued to this forum for about two weeks now and finaly decided to register today..... Can someone tell me if a PC1 ecu will work with a large VAM??

[denz]

i think this is a svo comp so it will not work i belive it is the la series that came in the thunder bird.

[mikewm]

Any chance it can be tuned to work with the large VAM or converted MAF??

[Stinger]

I think that's actually an 85 or so Turbo Coupe ecu...small vam. With a chip it can run whatever vam, injectors, maf, etc...as long as you know how to change the parameters on the chip.

Ok... How about a LB3 ecu thats a Large VAM ecu... Correct? I read somewhere that it is the same as a LA3 but for an Automatic.... is this true??

[Stinger]

That's correct, the LA3, LA2, LB3, and 8UA are all the same basic ecu just for a different model year and/or transmission.

If I buy the J3 chip.... Is there anybody that will tune it for me if i give them a bumper to bumper list of what my car consist of???

[Stinger]

No, it can't be done that way on these cars. You'll need to tune it yourself unless you have the ability to datalog a number of parameters and send it to someone to tune it.

Ok.... One more question. I just discoverd my SVO Turbo motor that ive been saving for years has two ears broke off the back where the bellhouse bolts up. I have a 93 n/a block out of a mustang.... Any chance all of the internals and the head will swap over without a problem??

[Stinger]

The main bearings are smaller on the 93 engine but the rods and pistons will still swap over. The crank is plenty strong so nothing to worry about there. The later blocks do have a bit thinner cylinder walls though so I wouldn't suggest an overbore more than .010-.020 max.

Thanks!
