anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

my friend bought a ford lightning that came s/c'd and now he is starting to buy alot of parts to have installed also ( he likes to go fast so he buys stuff to acomplish that, but doesnt know how to work on cars :-\)

so i asked him about what kind of engine management is used on fords? he had no idea what i was talkin about, which now has me under the impression that his truck might not have any e.m.!! anybody on here know anything about what ford uses for aftermarket management?



(for the most part i have only worked on imports)

I swaped a lightning engine in my 2000 f150 4x4 what do you need?

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

EEC-IV is the ECU, tune with twEECer.

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

Diablo Sport. Thats the way to go

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

For future reference, all fuel injected engines have engine management.

Don't post some oddball car to prove me wrong.

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

it has a mass air, you just need to re program the ecu when you get a bigger mass air sensor and iinjectors

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

I've used many different software/hardware packages to tune ford i.e. twEECer, hptuners, diablosport, SCT
and by far I would rather use the SCT software on all the fords I get in, I tune 3-4 mustangs a week using their software its a great product.

I don't do alot of lightnings (only about 4-5 in the past 4 years) but I know a place that will help you out alot Troyer performance , they do a ton of those trucks , Mike is a really smart dude hes helped me out a few times on those trucks

check out their site http://www.troyerperformance.com

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

not all fords were maf based. eec-iv controlled were for the most part s/d

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?
 

it has a maf, and yes sct kicks ass, thats what I run on my fords to. My diesel is rocking custom tuning by DJ's via a sct right now.

Re: anybody know what is used for ford (lightning) engine management?

www.nloc.net is by far the best source of info and writeups for Lightnings.

Engine management I'd recommend Xcal II or III w/ a B2400 or B2800 90mm MAF

But if he already has Diablo then a MAF extender is a must, get a Diablo MAFia.

When you make any significant power gains (i.e. whipple/KB) the stock MAF will ---- you. I'm not sure where he's at power wise, but you have to read the voltage on your MAF and see if it even come CLOSE to maxing out, get the extender.

Btw, I didn't see a year model, but if he has the "4 thread heads" you're in for a suprise... the spark plugs like to blow out of the cylinders, usually taking the head threads with them. Fun Fun.

Also, just a side note. Make sure it has all the factory recalls... the cruise control has been recalled for incidents of catching fire.

But these trucks are a ---- ton of fun to drive. I wish gas was cheaper, my truck is getting retired to be used occasionally on weekends and hauling trailers.
