Quick wiring question on converting an 86 to 89 engine management

[glhsglhsglhs]

Ive been around awhile and am just curious as to what would be easier for me to accomplish. I have an stock 86 t1 daytona that I would like to put a 89 common block 2.5 in. Would it be easier for me to update the car to 87 t2 status and get a custom cal, or would it be easier for me to update the car to smec status and then just get a standard cal to run the car? Thanks for your input!!

FAR FAR easier to update to '87 electronics and try to come up with a 2.5L cal on the '87 computer than it would be to adapt a SMEC harness into that car. I have a friend with an '87 Daytona that put the '88 harness into it. It was a nightmare, the bulkhead connector under the dash switched genders in '88.. So he had to cut, solder, and heatshrink every single wire.

Alright, that affirmed what I was thinking. I appreciate at it. Who is currently the best these days as far as creating cals go?

Welcome to FWD Performance, Inc.

and I hope you have a wideband sensor.

Yes I've been around longer than fwdperformance, know they exist, and know how to tune a car. I was just seeing who is currently the best. I know Turbos Unleashed used to have someone working with them who was very good at what he did.

Well, The guys over at www dot *********** dot com are pretty good with the CAL stuff, I have a couple of them helping me with the whole burning and creating your own custom cal's.

It's pretty bad when the people here get mad and ******* out any mention of the competitions web pages especially when they are all free.

that website is www dot turbo dash mopar dot com
