ive had some ideas pop in my head so I thought I would post them
87 shelby Z stock t2 with MPG Mike head
firstly, I have chips capable of holding 4 calibrations. From what I hear, most people do 2 and use a switch to flip between them. My idea was to use the ignition to switch between cals like is rumored about some old shelby cals. I would it to be like, if i just start the car normally, it starts in economy mode. if i turn the key to on then wait say 10 secs then start, it will start in performance mode. Then, I will have 2 performance mode cals attached to the switch for my electric cutout. That way I will get the best performance for my exhaust. mainly, 2 questions arise out of this.....does anyone know how to do the ignition thing, and with the switch, can I switch them on the fly or will i have to turn off the car.
secondly, I would like to somehow attach my EGT prope to my cal. What would I need to make that work? would I have to find an open input with the same range as the probe, or could I use any input and rewrite the code to read that input differently. could i even use the old output to my purge solenoid? or something A/C related(a/c removed). The EGT would mainly just act as a failsafe and auto shutdown if it gets too hot
would there be any advantage of converting to sequential injector firing or distributorless ignition
I thought there were more to this......
post your ideas!
