Engine management mods (ECU, injectors, sensors)

Post by TJryder »

Before I make a final dig in to the build - I was going over AFR management, ECU mods, FlynRyn stuff etc.

A bit confused, but lets go 😁

Star point:

http://www.jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/electronic.html

3 OEM types of engine management + 3 aftermarket EFI + carbed old units.

RENIX 87-90
SBEC 91-95, (OBD 1)
JTEC (96- end of production)
TurboSQUID - any year
Sniper Jeep EFI
Fitech GoEFI 2bbl
Carb


Question to all in the build and those that did it:

Which fuel delivery did you choose?
Which year?
Final injector size? Injector type?
Did you modfy UCU?
Did you modify sensors? Which, how?
Do yoo feel you reached optimum?
Final power? (Recipie stimate, butt dyno, real dyno)
External wide band AFR? YES/NO? What AFR do you read? Stabile over full range?


I read that OBD Ecu (JTec) is self learning and can not be tuned. :geek:
Than I read - get a tuner box and contavt FlynRyan and he will do remote tuning :?:

Many thanks in advance for your comments :wiggle:

X2,

Chris is very knowledgeable and a great guy to work with.

We jumped on a commercial flight together a while back to help tune one of my customers Stroker build. Big improvement.

He can get busy so patience is sometimes required.
