What Ecu did the st escos come with?L8 or p8

Cheers Aaron

 

Niether, the small turbos diddnt use bosch management.

 

what does it run do you know? ford management of some kind?

 

Yep, it runs Fords own managmanet. Think EECIV or so?!?

 

Are they any good or do people get rid?

 

They are good up to 300bhp. After that would be better to change for the weber/marelli stuff

 

Stu @ MSD is working on a conversion that gives more power & retains the Ford ECU. Trouble is its not ready yet unfortunately.

 

The ST runs eec-iv management, it's a far superior ecu to the Weber Marelli ecu.

 

why is this sailorbob?

 

progress, the cossie ecu can be well over 20 years old it's like comparing a modern pc with an old spectrum 48k!!

Do they fit on any cossie loom? Or do they have a completly different one?
If there that good why do they need changing after 300bhp.

I need to know as I have one at hand but is it any good for my application.
Do they run a coil pack anti lag etc?

I'm running low comps
greys
gt35
reprofiled kent cams and verniers

So should be well over 400bhp...

 

The eec-iv loom is completely different to the Weber Marelli loom. They do not need changing after 300 bhp, it's simply that until Motorsports Development undertook developing their conversion no one else bothered due to the complexity of doing so compared with using a Weber ecu. They run wasted spark as standard, I haven't heard of anti-lag on them though. TBH, if you already are running P8 then it's probably is not worth you converting because all your sensors and actuators would need changing too.

 

im running megasquirt 2 on original engine loom, i removed the eeciv enginge managment module and put in an adaptor board instead witch fit in the original case, all original sensors are used and its quite stright forward. Costed me around 400£ included a wide band lambda.

 

so if iam getting this right you used a megasquirt mapable ecu and your running you st escos on it?what turbo and injectors etc etc ar you using?and most of all would that not devalue your car?;roll:iam really intrestd as i was thinking of useing a megasquirt on my st escos aswell

 

Craig if your not going to used a ford ecu,go for gotech pro,much better than that garden shed poooooooooo

 

If you are thinking of going the DIY tuning route then there's the Moates QuarterHorse combined emulator and datalogger available for the eec management now http://www.moates.net/product_info.p...roducts_id=199

 

i am just sticking with a small turbo wait to see what MSD do and get a sapphire cossie for running about in during the wk or a r1
