i have a mach motor in my gt, thats the way i bought it........it looks as to it needs a tune............the computer is still from the gt...........ford auto racing tech says you can use the same computer and wirng harness..........i hear different opinions on the board........has anyone done this and know for a fact what is right


thanks

I'd be surprised if a 4V engine can run with a 2V computer. Does it seem to behave itself?

it actually runs smooth, so i don't know.........but when it cold there is hesitation which could be cause it has a supercharger on it as well...

let's see some pics....something sounds a little fishy.

What is the complete setup on your engine?

GreyStang

Is it a factory blower? I/E a Cobra motor not a Mach?? If it's an aftermarket blower I sure HOPE it was tuned when it was put on!

i don't think hes serious....it seemes like he would know more about this car even if he just bought it. I hate to be the skeptical one, but i'm gonna have to call BS, unless he brings forth some proof

GreyStang

+1 yeah dude let's see a pic

i'll get a pic for you skeptical people, but i would not waste my time making a story ........i do now intend to keep this car........i bought this car several weeks ago.......the carfax has this car owned by the same guy since it was new....he blew out his first motor cause of the supercharger which is a novi 1000 is what he told me.........so he put a mach 1 32 valve motor from ford auto racing i did get the motor checked out locally and it did come back with high pressure like 230 in all cylinders which they told me usually newer motors have high compression until they break in..... i did call ford with the model number of the computer and it is a 2002 gt...........you can call ford auto racing yourselves if you don't believe me they said it should work without switching out computers........i came here lookin for feedback and some help with this problem and if you can't help or havent done this then you can be spectical and i wouldn't care........but if someone has done this setup please advise as i am currently tryin to find a mach 1 computer and wiring harness..

Please understand that we have all sorts of tools who come here and make stuff up, so forgive us for being skeptical. My take is that if Ford says the computor is the same, it probably is. The harness might be different, but without looking things over in person it's hard to tell. I would start by looking over the engine for any unhooked sensors both on the motor itself and harness.
