Question for you guys, what would I have to do to install this in a 84mustang that didnt come with cruise (no VSS, I suspect).  Pin 34 will be easy to splice into.

I would say run codes and see if anything pops up.  Is the orange ground wire connected to the turbo inlet housing?  Try and keep the RPM's below 3K so the computer stays in closed loop.  Coolant sensor for the ECU reading correct?

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / 94 - 97' Predator SS
Quote from: ZTSRacer;128076
Hey Everyone.  I use to own a 94 Mercury Cougar Predator SS when I was in highschool.  I sold it to one of my buddies when I joined the military in 2002.  I have called my buddy back up to see if I could buy it back from him to only hear he wrecked it.

WTB:  1994 - 1997 Mercury Cougar Predator SS.  Any condition, Dead or Alive, without any damage to the chassis platform.

I search most of the used car sites for one each week the closest I came so far was a Caliente Edition on Ebay.



Never heard of one, what is it? info please.

Engine Tech / Anyone block off there EGR
Should I turn my base fuel pressure up to compensate?  It is a 2.3T, my base pressure, vac line unhooked is 39.5 PSI.  When vac line is connected it is about 29.

Exactly, everything the EGR control does is "in addition to" normal air/fuel and timing.



So..... will you notice any performance change or drivability??

Electrical Tech / Ignition switch woes? Easy to change/fix?
Put a ford switch in mine,  My bolts holding it had no head or anything just rounded metal.  I used my dremel and cut a slot and used a screwdriver to back them out.  My old switch also fell apart in two pieces.

There is no gain to blocking it off...and actually a stock ECU expects to see it as fuel and spark maps take into account that air flow.

If it works, might as well leave it working.

Mine is gone on the 2.3T in the 83, but I can also program around it.



If the ecu is calibrated to calculate the airflow..... With the egr blocked, the car would run richer??? Just seeing if I understand.  And that would make the car maybe burn more fuel.  I blocked it on my car because it wouldnt work with Stingers header.  Chuck, how did you program around it?  Burn a diff chip?

User Rides / The '80 XR-7...
Nice work Chuck, I used to own a 81 XR7.  I liked the angles, except for the rear view (massive taillights).
