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![banghead](/inc/images/banghead.gif)

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

This one should edge out over 500bhp/tonne - nice work and beautifully executed

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 ![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)

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
Wahay ! congratulations![biglaugh](/inc/images/biglaugh.gif)

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.
