Hello everyone!
I've been going through the forum and am amazed at the amount of info on modular swaps there is. I also noticed how helpful everyone is, and when doing things outside of the norm, like a modular swap, it's amazing to have a site like this to get help (any sympathy)
A little about me and my car.. It's an 86 coupe with a MMR built 5.4 2v Anderson PI heads and stock PI cams with a Precision PT76 and a Tremec 3550. I'm currently running a 03 Cobra ECU. I just had it retuned yesterday and made 524hp and 597ft/lbs at 15 psi on pump gas. The car is a driver, and was built with the intention of being a fun, fast, and reliable (somewhat) car. I bought it off a close friend whom had already swapped in a 5.4 out of an Expedition with a MP T70 diy turbo kit via a MegaSquirt. It was a 4 cyl car originally and very solid underneath and in all the common rust spots. He had already done torque box reinforcements, full length connectors, and welded all the body/chassis seams. I bought the car and pretty quickly started looking into making more than the 7 psi he was running, but nobody wanted to tune it so it all began! Called MMR and ordered a Mod1000 5.4 and scored the heads from a buddy. Then the 03 ECU came into play, the friend I purchased it from helped A LOT with the computer swap. Since then there has been lots of high and lows, most the lows were me having "bright ideas" like fabrication a hydraulic clutch set up and so on. I could go on for hours with all the headaches i have created for my self but I'm not capable of typing too fast and I doubt you want to hear me blab on.
I found the site while researching swapping in a 99-04 instrument cluster. I wish I did from the beginning, but that would have made sense, and that's not my style. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to give the computer a oss signal. The speedo get in the car has a 2 wire connector on it, so I'm trying to figure out if I can feed that into the ECU and have my tuner change the parameters in the tune, or if I can simply use a 99-04 oss sensor in my 3550?
I have been searching the forum for any info that would help and keep getting side tracked in other threads and builds. lol
Hopefully I can contribute to someone's headache sometime!
Taki,
