Who wants a custom ECM calibration?

[DustyR/T]

ok, well that didn't take long. According to http://www.allpar.com/mopar/3.html, "1992 seems to be the magic year for the swap from MPI to SMPI."

I wonder if a late model 92 would have the SBEC?

[Ondonti]

my duster is 92, I installed sbecII wiring so now its basically the same as my 94 sbecII spirit for that deal.

No idea what the original wiring was in that car as someone tried a T2 conversion and failed.

[DustyR/T]

sweet, so we'll let the majority rule say it all here. 92+ SBEC compatable is the cal we want made. Now we'll see what Cindy says. I'm hopin for the best here.

i would say id go for a cal, but im on the megasquirt route already. a cal would definitely add to the ability to mod the 3.0 IMHO

[irocelectric93]

Ugh So excited i can hardly contain myself

[Ondonti]

already own megasquirt stuff to play with but I can deal with a cal if it will handle what I need.

[irocelectric93]

At any rate this can maybe if it works out be a huge step in the right direction for turbocharging the 3.0. It may not be so radical at first but if the popularity grows who knows? Honestly if we can get something that gets me boosting ill be pleased.

[DustyR/T]

this is a HUGE step in the right direction. It could open up so many doors that seemed unachievable. Boost, nitrous, or just more N/A performance. I would like to see the speed gov. extended, rev limiter raised, timing retard eliminated or as suggested earlier extended with the additional perks of a more aggressive fuel and timing curve, closed loop operation adjustments, etc. This could be the way to attract more people to the 3.0L crowd or handful to be more correct. There is a demand for these extreme modifications, but we need risk takers. We need to consumer (us) and the distributor (Cindy @FWD Hopefully) to take a step outside the boundaries of typical TDers. Lets incorporate a new more widely used engine into the Turbo crowd. We know the engine is strong and underpowered by nature. But there is more that we can do than just simple "tweaks" such as timing bumps, FPR's, TB's, UDP's, and other bolt on's that the ECM would fight us with like cams and ported manifolds, heads, etc. This could be the gateway to a broader range of possibilities. This isn't just a vision. It isn't that far from a reality. Why waste soo much time, emotion, and especially MONEY, not to mention the aggravation of TUNING the damn thing. Lets just make things 100x's easier and have a cal made? We need someone to take this risk. I seriously think Cindy has considered this and if she follows through I would be sooo much happier as well as most of us here. Again, just my .02

[irocelectric93]

Ahh yes well said Dusty ...well said indeed.

[DustyR/T]

so, any other takers or opinions?

[yogurtslinger]

with a good cal, I could see low 14's on a semi stock 3.0 shadow 5-speed. Hell, a stock v6 5-speed shadow has run 14.6 with old gas and mis-matched plugs and plug wires that weren't seated..(blew my mind that it didn't miss). I think we all know that the sohc 3.0 has potential.. (personally, I think their a little more fun to drive than a TII car...sshh..)


ALSO, I would be willing to front the money for 2 cals if needed to help get the ball rolling.

[Cromax]

Im definately willing to put down money for a cal if it will work in my 92.. Im still running my automatic computer with the a543..

[irocelectric93]

Have we heard anything yet? We need more people i assume....this is one of those "best bang for your buck" situations guys....drop the cash.

[DustyR/T]

no, Cindy hasn't made a final decision yet. I did talk to her via e-mail recently and she is evaluating it with FWDperformance now. She will let us know when she has a final decision.

[yogurtslinger]

maybe a poll is in order??

who is willing to drop cash down to start

who would buy one once she has cals ready and tested

and then what type of cals, turbo, N/A

somebody start a poll.
