Hi all , I'm looking fo input and opinions as to if I should convert my charger to a SMEC
- or should I just do the TII wireing conversion and be "done with it"
I've had cars with both engine control systems and I;ll say the smec cars seemed to have fewer issues - seemed lol
I do like the compactness of the smec as well as the external automatic shutdown relay , along with the newer style relays without the metal shells
the charger is complete , mint and untampered with as of now with all it's original log motor components in place and working properly so a simple TII wireing mod wouldn't be a hard thing to do with reasonable expectation of success
I do have a few daytona smec engine compartment harness' as well as an 88 K car turbo harness that still has the 50 way bulkhead connector at the firewall so all I'd need to get a hold of is an L body dash harness with the 50 way connector on it to do a really simple swap
I don't have issues with wireing swaps as I've already done a few and re & reing a dash is no big deal to me
I'm asking for opinions as to which system should be better as I'd really like to scoop up one of Shellgames 2 or 4 play setups while I hopefully can still get one
4 play would seem a better plan just for the increased number of tune options but if the smec system is substancially better I'd probably like to choose to go that way
but not having to rip the car apart has benifits to
and , yeah , the whole tunning deal is a big cliff I'm going to have to jump off with my next build as I've never had cause to use more than a MP LM or SMEC on my past builds
and one last question,
can I reprogram a TI smec to run a TII ?
(I'm wondering if the TI smec would have the connection pin for the intake charge temp sensor - ie , is the progarming the only difference between a TI and TII smec?)
I have the 88 K car turbo 1 smec along with the wireing and a MP TII smec that I'd rather not destroy or alter
