Default ECU swap

ok i have a question first, i want to swap the ECU on my 95 gt convert to the ECU in the 89-93 Fox mustangs, i heard they are more acceptable to mods. But i also was wondering about a Diablo Chip, if i get the Chip should i still swap the ECU or will the chip pretty much do what i need it to do?

Hey i was just looking at your post because i have a 94 GT and wanted to do the same thing and i was told to get the tweecer set up. its about 400-500 bucks depending on which one you get but you also have to use it on a lap top as well..but you can do all your tunning and settings by yourself and learn how things work..sounds intresting. thats just my 2 cents.




P.S.- why the low 1/4 mile time? my friend has the same set up as you do and was running 14.9s. just wondering tho.. good luck

tweecer chips dont need to be tuned from the lap top u can do it at your desktop too, but i dont have the time to learn the software and id much rather trust someone who knows how to tune the chip, as for my times i was thinking its the ECU thats not noticing my mods im not really sure yet, i might be getting a new motor tho so it could be something internally as well if i find out ill let u know

P.S, im at mile high altitude so if i were to run in lower altitude u can shave about a second off the times

like i said im at higher altitude then u in LA, i ran a 16.14 but i had to hit the breaks so i wouldnt break out in bracket racing, and with my altitude compared to yours thats about a second diffrence in the 1/4 mile so it coulda been a 15.14, and still no ones answered my question should i get an ECU and a chip or just a chip??!?

i have a 95 gt too and i was told you cannot get a chip for it...you have to swap the internal computer for another one w/a ECC-V or somethign like that. or do the whole labtop do it urself stuff....i looked at diablo and superchip and they dont have anything for our year so i believe what i have heard

Default RE: ECU swap

I've heard different stories on this. Most say its true that the A9L computer accepts mods better than a 94-95 T4MO computer because the 94-95 programming in the computer is based upon load. The T4MO is supposed to have a better processor which means it'll read changes from the sensors faster. The problems with the T4MO mainly occur when the cam is changed. The problems can be "tuned" out using a twEECer. If you still insist on the 89-93 A9L then you'll have to get an adapter to plug it into the 94-95 harness. I've heard that Pro-M made the adapter but now that they are out of business and back in business as Pro Mass Air Systems, I don't know if they still carry the part. U may have to try ebay or car swap meets.
