Will Socketed V6 SBEC work in turbo 2.5?
I have two sbecs. One is a rare one from an 89 Dynasty 3.0 and the other is from a 90 Lebaron 3.0 v6. If I socket these will one or both be able to be used in my 90 Spirit 2.5 turbo car with a turbo cal?

What don't you give it a try?? I was thinking about this as well as I have a number of V6 SBECII

I don't think it will, either, but if it does, well, that opens up some windows for the 3.0!
Re: Will Socketed V6 SBEC work in turbo 2.5?
Probably not due to the injector driver. That is the reason TBI four cylinder computers don't work with turbo engines and V6 truck computers don't work with V8 engines.
Re: Will Socketed V6 SBEC work in turbo 2.5?
V6 should have more drivers than the 4-cyl. Might work.
Re: Will Socketed V6 SBEC work in turbo 2.5?
id give it a go.
try to burn a 4 banger cal and slam it in and see if it runs.
that said, those with the disassembly stuff set up, (cough, cough, wowzer.....) could disassemble both a v6 and a turbo cal for the same year (like 89) and see what the IO looks like.
if there are just extra v6 stuff thats not mapped to things that the 4 cyl cals need, then i would think that it would work.
i mean, at idle, it wouldnt hurt anything to try.

I realize the OP is talking about SBEC but on a related topic, I just confirmed a community member reprogrammed a V6 SBECII to L4. Here is his message as I asked him if he tried with a turbo.
I have installed it into a 2.5L TBI non-turbo. All I did was socket the ROM chip and install a ROM with the 2.5 TBI cal from another SBEC-II. All of the necessary components appear to be on the 3.0 and 3.3 V-6 SBEC-II boards. They just need the software/program, found on the Calibration chip to run them

That's what I figured. Good to have it confirmed though.
Re: Will Socketed V6 SBEC work in turbo 2.5?
The reason I was wondering is that the sbec computers I have only control 3 sets of injectors on the 3.0 V6. The 2.5 turbo computers have 4 injector wires. I just wondered if the extra hardware driver was in the sbec one V6 computer.

SBEC 1 still batch fires the injectors, so the 4-cyl only needs 2 drivers.

SBEC is sequential injector firing on turbo cars..

I thought that didn't happen until SBEC II. I know 90-91 SBEC V6 is batch, then in 92 they went to SBEC II which was sequential.

The 89 CSX was the first of our 4cyl turbo cars to be sequential.

Which just for clarification has an SBEC, the first Chrysler turbo package to have one.
Across the board on turbo cars in 1990.

Rob Lloyd confirmed that this would work years ago. I guess it's not common knowledge because not many would think to ask the question, but it has been done.

I took a look inside both the 89 and 90 sbec computers I have and they are obviously missing some hardware. So I guess they don't have the necessary injector drives to make them work on a 4 cylinder.

just try it. if it doesnt work all youve lost is time.... but if it does work, you help the community.....

If you are handy with an iron you could add the necessary driver. I was thinking of during this to one of my SBEC at some point
