Got my el cop ecu, but sticker says EEC-IV.... WTF???

EL_futuraistic · 01-03-2005, 09:24 PM

I have posted this in the tech section, but didnt get many responses.

Can anyone plz help me out. I just recieved my EL police ecu today. Except there is a discrepancy in that the sticker says EEC-IV, will this run my EL which is EEC-V????
I have previously read this being discovered b4 on ff, but i am concerned it may cause damage if i run it.

the part number is 96DA-12A650-NB

and the computer number on the top is 6DNB

Is this computer from an earlier ED??? Did EF run EEC-IV???
Any help, or more info would be much appreciated.

this is normal. Was a post earlier regarding thsi fact. It is from an EL and will work 100%.

ALL EF/L's run EECIV anyway, its psudo EECV

Interceptor'85 · 01-03-2005, 09:58 PM

Awesome! I'd love to get one for my EF. Let us know how it goes dude!

C2H5OH

Is that the formula for petrol? Can you give us the formula for the chemical reaction for complete combustion?? :

why say pseudo. Fake is a better term.

C2H5OH - Ethanol the drinkable Alcohol
and it's interaction with your body
What does happen between your oral cavity and your small intestine while consuming alcohol.
To understand the the complicate interaction between alcohol and your body, you should have a clear head.
First the introduction:
The correct Name for drinkable alcohol is ETHANOL, C2H5OH ( CH3-CH2-OH ) There are a lot more alcohols out there but they are definitly not recommended for oral consumption.

so el's run fake eecv, well, thats a relief. I thought i might have the wrong ecu or something.

Thanks guys

My EF says EEC-5, IV has only 60 pins at back, V has 110 odd, a lot more pins anyway.

4.9 EF Futura · 02-03-2005, 10:40 AM

Contentious issue.

Technically EF and EL are both EEC-V.... although both share many characteristics of EEC-IV, EL has a stronger bond with its predecessor EEC-IV as they went back to the 60pin connector.

EF was an EEC-IV's memory banks in an EEC-V ECU (minus OBD-II) with a 104pin EEC-V connector. EL was an EEC-IV's memory banks in an EEC-V ECU (minus OBD-II) with a 60pin EEC-IV connector...

Lol, pseudo a much better term ;)

Hi Karl.

:

BINGO. Im powered by alcahol.

As for complete combustion. Well iirc

2C8H18 + 25O2 = 18H20 + 16CO2

That seems to be allright...(im probably wrong)

NZ · 02-03-2005, 12:03 PM

Yes now for incomplete combustion....

Walkinshaw · 02-03-2005, 02:05 PM

C8H18 + 15O2 + N2 = 9H20 + 8CO2 +NO2 + NO3

I think....

Walkinshaw · 02-03-2005, 02:06 PM

thing is there are way to many variations of incomplete combustion, depending on AFR's. Some rich mixtures will have straight C (Carbon) as a byproduct.

NZ · 02-03-2005, 04:09 PM

Yah. This is the only thing I learnt in science. h and you gotta make both sides equal. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

all our falcons will be under the 'incomplete combustion' catagory. Some dont even combust at all. Mostly Ea's tho

Damo · 02-03-2005, 06:30 PM

and that's a good thing right Karl.

About the EAs?

i thought so.

NZ · 02-03-2005, 09:08 PM

rephrase: some dont even internally combust.

galapogos01 · 03-03-2005, 08:55 PM

where did you get this ecu...???

EL_futuraistic · 03-03-2005, 09:47 PM

I bought the ECU on ebay, from Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage. I believe they still have a few in stock. you can try ebay, or give them a call direct.

Anyway, after much asking around, including FF and calling 4 ford dealers, i finally got an answer, that YES its an EL ecu to fit a 6ycl Auto with Police Pack, and YES it will run fine, even thought it states EEC-IV.

From what i understand the EL reverted back to a some of the old EEC-IV programming due to its switch back to a Distributor based ignition system, although it was still labelled EEC-V.

Thanks guys

MAD · 03-03-2005, 10:06 PM

Whats the point of the police ECU?

galapogos01 · 03-03-2005, 10:24 PM

i havent been able to find any of the FTG Auto Salvage ecus on ebay.. ill take a look. cheers.

EL_futuraistic · 03-03-2005, 10:28 PM

Removes Speed Limiter
Changes Transmission Shift Pattern

Thats about all i know from what ive read..... its hard to get info on it.

URBAN MYTHS

increases power
wont change into top gear below 65km/h

galapogos01 · 03-03-2005, 10:35 PM

got a url for one of these ecus? a search on "ecu" gives me nothing on ebay.com.au.

Kryton · 03-03-2005, 10:38 PM

so are you gonna put it in and tell us all exactly what it does to the car or what?
