Ford tuning
 

Are there any Ford people on here? If so, and this is especially for the Focus crowd if there's more than two of us (fat chance), what do you use for tuning? Is there anything less expensive than a goddamn $300 SCT chip?

$300 is chump change.

Actually, that is only for the chip. They don't even want to sell you just the chip anymore. The cheapest it could be done is $550 from a shop in Columbus, which means 2 hours of driving for me. And when I'm trying to make this whole thing for under $500 (more realistically under $700), I have to find a way to make the most expensive part much less expensive.

Anybody know anything of use?

When your starting from nothing and have no friends to borrow things from it's hard to get a cheap well done turbo setup put together. With my accord kit I spent around 2g's alot of that was a laptop an lm-1 and a chip burner. Not to mention mistakes I made in buying the wrong things and then having to resale at a loss.

You can chip and tune a lot of ford ecu's go to moates.net" they sell all the tools your going to need" and look into it. Send Them an email and ask Craig if he'll point you to some ford websites with info on tuning.

I need to do this. I really want to learn how to tune as many differant makes as possible. Honda kids seem to be the flackyest bunch of ricers you'll come acrossed. It's probably just people in general and not just honda kids.

Alright, I checked it out and had no clue what I was looking at, so I sent him a message. I'll see what he says in a few days I guess. Thanks, man.

mega squirt

Re: Ford tuning
 

What is it and what does it do?

I was already told a SAFC II would not work because my ECU would make corrections after a while, and I'd get absolutely nowhere.

Re: Ford tuning
 

Mega squirt Is a standalone ecu that you can use to replace your stock unit. It'll run just about any engine.

Ahhh ok, thanks. I'll look into that too.
