Any updates?
Hi all, I`ve kind of ran into a brick wall at the momment with the ecu and its build in security, Welcome to the world of Ford P.A.Ts Normaly the chip in the key communicates with the dash clocks this in turn tells the ecu and we all go for a drive down the road, As i don`t have the keys and clocks i got a guy to disable the security, brilliant till you turn off the power and the ecu generates a new code from a few billon its got spare!!! So everytings working except there`s no injector pulse, To sort this its option 1: replace the lot with a standalone ecu/remap and return fuel system
option 2: breakers yard for clocks keys and a blast on Fords I.D.S to recode it all
option 3: handheld scan tool for some OBD tunning.
Option 3: i`m liking this week due to the fact i can solve the issue with the EGR/EVAP and rear O2 sensor and P.A.Ts but it does involve rebuilding the fuel map, downside its gotta come from the states!
For the interested http://www.deltaforcetuning.com/Commando-p/co-5000...
But i have been playing with toy number 2 while i make up my mind

Come on Andy im sick and tired of Jammy Dodgers project This one is the mother of projects..
I'm sick of my project too - he's right on all counts. No-one is going to top this in a hurry This one should edge out over 500bhp/tonne - nice work and beautifully executed

After a late night ITS RUNNING eight wires and ten minutes on the Ford IDS to reprogramme the ecu to the clocks & keys, To simple to belive it would work really

It never set out to be the mother of all projects! but it`s funny how these things just snowball! My first thoughts were "yeah that will fit" A quick once over with a tape measure, a bit of cutting here and there, then DA DAA! standard looking Chimaera with a bit more power

Wahay ! congratulationsAfter a late night ITS RUNNING eight wires and ten minutes on the Ford IDS to reprogramme the ecu to the clocks & keys, To simple to belive it would work really
i know what you mean about snowballing... mine started as "should be able to get the claimed 320 out of it if I spend £3k." then "hang on, if £3k = 40bhp and a 'charger at £6k = 120bhp, then the 'charger is better value" then after ordering the charger "hang on, do I trust the old engine to handle the charger - better rebuild it" etc. etc. etc.
Anyway - this is your thread, I'm mighty impressed by what you've achieved, fantastic.
