Default Trick Flow Kit install, now problems. TwEECer?

Hey guys over the summer I got the Trick Flow top end kit installed on my car and since then my idle has been horrible, it almost always stalls after first start up, and is really bad when it's cold. Lower RPMs r just crap. The guy who did it (an avid reader and poster of this forum) Said that I needed to upgrade my injectors, my MAF to compensate, and possibly the fuel pump. Then I needed to have it dynoTuned and a new chip burned for the car. This, as you know, it quite expensive so I've been sitting on it. Well today I was reading up about the TwEEcer engine management system. I was wondering if this will solve all my worries? BTW Its a 94 gt so it has the retarded computer in it but the TwEECer I'm looking at is for a 94 too. Any help would be appreciated. I have gears going in soon too to help with the lower RPMS and I plan on putting 24lbs injectors in if it will help but I really need to fix my idle.

it will work, but it takes a while to learn how to use them apparently


I just got mine dyno tuned by a pro[8D]

Does anyone have experience using it? I was thinking it'd be nice if I changed anything around in the car I wouldnt have to get it retuned by a pro

pro knows what they are doing though.

i would have a shop do it and get it dyno ran a couple times before you even attempt to make adjustments.

dont wanna hurt that motor u just put alot of $$$ into

you also need 24lb injectors and a matching MAF sensor for injectors as well.


just my 2 cents

i have one, im still learning, but once u get some one to show you what and where to change stuff, its a whole heck of alot easier, to be honest, i spent alot on all my tuning stuff (around $1,100)
so it might be better to pay someone thats good $500 to do it, now some1 with a tweecer can burn a moates chip with this little gizmo and you can use it and the chip is like $60...

I have used a the tweecer rt on my 90GT/X3Z/408w, and I am currently tuning an LA3 on my stock n/a 2.3 in my 87 Mustang.

A tweecer is not specific to a Fox or 94/95 Mustang.
Any tweecer will work with any ecu which has a J3 port, atleast the hardware wise.... some ecu's have not been 'cracked' yet...
Anyway... ANY tweecer RT you buy will work with your 94.


One comment was that larger injectors would be needed and that this would require a new MAF.
The tweecer can tell the ecu that larger injectors are being used, without the use of a 'calibrated' MAF meter.


Most folks seem to go tweecer because of drivability issues, not so much for power gains....

Before you buy though, make sure you don't have any hardware issues.
1. Pull the diagnostic codes.
2. Reset Base Idle.
3. Clean the MAF sensor.
4. Replace older O2 sensors

If after this you still have idle issues, then the tweecer would be a good choice.

The learning curve for the tweecer can be a little rough. However, the 'basic' changes you need to make right off the bat aren't that tough. The beauty of the tweecer is that you can start from the STOCK ecu settings, and modify from there.

NOTE:
There are some things in the works which will make the tweecer MUCH easier to use for the typical beginner.
I have been asked to keep quiet, but it will make a huge difference.

I got a tweecer, and wana sell it, I tuned off the pllugs and had it as close as i could get it, still running fat, so i had to get a custom sct chip for it, but it seemed to work well, just not with my set up, i just tuned it off plugs and and couldn't get em golden brown so took it to a tuner, he handled it from there, but besides that, i heard they can work fairly well!!!
