The difference is in the wiring harness that pulls one pin down for one of both (or forgot). This tells the EEC with what kind of trans. it deals. On the Xr the auto has about 30 fewer horses than the 5sp. The torque curve is a bit different too. Differences besides the one pin are the camshaft and initial timing which is 13 degs for 5sp and 10 for auto. This leads me to think that I can swap EECs from one Xr to another without modifying performance. This may be different for Mustangs though.

I feel that this is a rather gross (and misleading) generalization. There are certainly circumstances where merely bolting on a larger MAF with little thought will result in poor throttle response. But that won't be a problem in a well thought out solution. The 4.6L DOHC in the Mark VIII has a 80 mm MAF from the factory. This is obviously a car where idle quality is a big concern. Since few people can program the EEC, you may have the tweak the signal it sees from the MAF for certain combinations. Several of my friends have installed that MAF on their 5.0's with excellent results. You'd be surprised at just how large the MAF's and TB's on the next generation of lower displacement V8's are.

The Bosch system does this on every engine shutdown. I imagine that to do without this, they must do some sort of auto-cal sequence, where they see a change in current@resistance vs known change in air flow, and use that as a baseline, rather than presuming a fixed dI/dF over the life of the sensor, which is what the burn-off is supposed to maintain. >From owner-diy_efi Mon Aug 22 20:05:38 1994 Received: by coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu (920330.SGI/920502.SGI) id AA21516; Mon, 22 Aug 94 20:05:38 GMT Received: from stdvax.gsfc.nasa.gov by coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu via SMTP (920330.SGI/920502.SGI) for /usr/local/mail/majordomo-1.92/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 -l Diy_Efi -f Diy_Efi-Owner -h coulomb.eng.ohio-state.edu -s -r DIY_EFI diy_efi-outgoing id AA21511; Mon, 22 Aug 94 16:05:36 -0400 Date: Mon, 22 Aug 1994 16:04:25 -0400 (EDT) @xxx.GOV (DIRK BROER) @xxx.GOV> Subject: Re: Fords MAF To: DIY_EFI X-Vmsmail-To: @EFI Sender: owner-diy_efi Precedence: bulk Reply-To: DIY_EFI >> >What metod do the latest ford MAFs use to measure MAF.

Ford MAF sensors differ from the standard Bosch sensors. The Bosch Sensors typically have a large screen infront of the wire and a wire that crosses the full width of the MAF sensor. So if you have a 70mm MAF the hot wire is 70MM long. The ford sensor uses a small venturi placed in the air- stream (I think to one side) since it is much smaller - it doesn't get as dirty and therefor doesn't need the burn-off (at least according to the Probst book). The problem comes when the sensor gets modified - any change in the air-flow characteristics can/will change the signal vs. air flow characteristics. Someone on the net mentioned that porting the Ford Sensors was a neat way to lean out the WOT fuel mixture - from what I have seen WOT on the Mustang can be as much as 11:1 A/F ratio - plenty safe but not necessarily optimum power. Also it seems the aftermarket MAF sensors are geared to a specific injector size. So on a mustang you can buy 77MM MAF - tuned for both 19lbs and 24lbs injectors.

So on a mustang you can buy 77MM MAF - tuned for both 19lbs and > 24lbs injectors. Yeah, these things are calibrated so that you'll get a correct fuel curve with the larger injectors without chaning the ecm calibration, but it royally screws up the spark curve. Mike Wesley said he can get 15-20% more power out of most Vortech blown 'Stangs with aftermarket MAF sensors/big injectors just by fixing the spark curve. -- @xxx.edu "Turbos are nice but I'd rather be blown!" 68 Camaro Convertible - 350 / TH350 80 Toyota Celica - 20R / 5spd ÿ
