will that ecu work with that turbo and wg setup?

 

[mp3-79bronco]

should, the WG will have no affect, the turbo will be pushing more air, but it should sense that and compensate...

im getting a ssafc, and wideband within a month or two anyway

 

[JCell]

cool

 

[lanceam24]

nice, keep us posted...

 

[zoomin MP3]

running tally for cost so far? I'm most likely going turbo and am trying to decide whether to piece it together or buy one of the kits FS on here so often.

 

[mp3-79bronco]

about 1500. and thats everything including small pieces.

 

[mp3-79bronco]

ill get some pics of the guages, and the fmic when it comes in tomorrow

 

[TWISFM]

wow 1500 not bad at all makes me think i shoulda gone tubro instead of coilovers...

 

[mp3-79bronco]

i did get some really unbelievable deals though

 

[mp3-79bronco]

got the FMIC in the mail, the front bumper and midpipe are off and the bumper beam will be cut and fitted for the FMIC tomorrow, and the nipple for the egr will be welded onto the midpipe...

what was the vtcs fix you did btw? Did you splice into the harness or something else, just wondering.

 

[mp3-79bronco]

got a vtcs solenoid and hooked one side to a switched 12v source (i used radio) and then the other went down directly to the ecu harness...i stripped about 1.5 inches of wire (16 gauge) and then pushed it through pin hole 73 and when it came out the other end i clipped it flush and i just put the conector back on while holding that wire in to make sure it didnt pop out. about 700 or so miles and no CEL

Damn..... Lookin nice! Thinkn about tearin mine back down and cutting my bumper brace after all........ Nice Job man!! (cool)

 

[mp3-79bronco]

thanks, it took less than an hour to cut and make the supports..so definitely worth it
