but performance wasn't real good! The engine ran fine but I had big problems with pinging even after setting the timing properly to EL specs etc. Here's the tricky bit tho - I put an ELXR6 ECU into my car and it ran fine - ie. I guess you could also chuck on a knock sensor and run a lead to it's pin too - but I don't know which number that one is (should be easy enough for anyone to find out). And of course an MPEFI ECU won't run CFI.Īnd it's always good practice to use an auto ECU in an Auto car and manual one in a manual car etc.įor the BBM, pin 15 on the ECU is the one for the control circuit.
There will be issues of course with trying to run a later computer in a car without smartlock but the method of bypassing it will be the same for an EL ECU as it is for putting an EBII/ED ECU into an earlier car. The EL ECU does plug straight into an EB/ED with MPEFI and smartlock and runs fine - I don't think sequential injection came in until AU (fairly certain, actually) - tho maybe some late EL's got AU engines?.
