AU ECU chip tuning

[5.0 ED]

I know there's probably been a few posts before regarding ECU Chip tuning using the moates burn2 and J3 Chip, but i thought i'd post an update for anyone interested and give a bit more info.

Unlike what is commonly thought, as far as operation is concerned there is no advantage to flash tuning over chip tuning, the only major difference is that the flash, re flashes the program onto the eec, and the chip bypass's the program. There is no difference in what you can change with either.

I can and have reprogrammed my AU S1 Fairmont Ghia V8 EEC with that of a T1 for example.

The one loss the chip has is that the eec needs to be removed and clean to install, and that if the eec is removed, of course it is obvious that the chip is in there, the one advantage though of the chip is that you can install multiple programs onto it and then change over from say an economy tune to a full power tune without the need to turn the engine off or stop the car. Which in my opinion is a great thing, could be advantages to those running LPG.

The eec's program we normally would refer to as a BIN file, and then we have what we call a Def (definition) file, the definition file is what tells the tuning program where and how to use each setting in the EEC program.

So far I have defined the majority of engine parameter's on the following AU V8 eec catch codes.

WAFB - S1 Fairmont Ghia v8
WALG - S2 Fairlane Ghia v8
X2CA - S1 TS50
and currently working on 12RB

So if anyone wanted to do this i could email them the def and explanation of parameters, and away they go being able to change fuel mixtures, hego amplitudes/delays, Rev/speed limits, ignition timing, maf transfer, act/ect transfer/compensation, idle speeds/ISC control, adaptive control, accel enrichment, canister purge, injectors, peak load, MFA (lean cruise), touque reduction. Basically everything to tune there engine.

Now what i am after at this point in time is more AU reads off different EEC's, including 6's. Once i have the eec read, it doesn't take me long at all for me to define them, because the majority of parameters are identical for all the AU V8, eec's, they just move them around a bit.

Although it can do E series as well, i personally am only interested in the AU's, especially the V8's but wouldn't mind doing a couple 6's. There is other people who are doing the E series. The whole plan is to give people other cheaper options to go with, I also find it interesting to see what ford have changed from different models/series.

For example S1 t S2 175kw, has the same fuel/ignition maps, yet different maf transfer. T1 eec had same fuel maps, more overall ignition advance, and once again a different maf transfer.

As time goes on, more and more settings will get defined, im bit by bit going thru the auto settings but being i have no original to go off this really takes time. Im also need to get an ostrich 2.0, the ostrich enables you to plug in and do real time tuning, and does address tracing which helps with finding other parameters, which should really help me in doing the auto.

Anyway i've thrown as much info as i can think of in here, and if anyone is interested and wants to know more, just pm me for info.
