Re: Toms ECU
Appears to be an antique piggyback fuel controller. Some info here...

Re: Toms ECU
well ****.. any one want to buy it?
if its a fuel air controller i dont see why, but looks like ill have to sell or trade and get something else, thanks to my buddy that told me this would work in my car

Re: Toms ECU
well is it an ECU or just an afc? because you said its an ecu, and the ad says its an ecu. in which case it would not work.
if it's just an old archaic air fuel controller, it just intercepts a few wires in your harness, such as the injector duty, rpm, etc. and then you can use those two knobs to crudely add or subtract fuel at certain rpm ranges within a certain amount (probably around 20% +-)
If thats the case, it's really just like an SAFC, but the primitive atari version. either way you spin it, it's pretty useless, and more of just a novelty.

Re: Toms ECU
The biggest problem is that there are a few versions of engine manegement that it could be designed for.
If it's designed for a MAP ECU or a non O2 ECU it probably won't work with a US ECU. The same applies whether it's an ECU or a piggyback.
I would look at it as something cool to hang on a shelf. If you actually need fuel and spark control there are going to be many much better options.
The AEM F/IC is not even twice the price and would work so much better you couldn't even classify them in the same category.

The last question is do you really need fuel control?
I have a GZE ECU running a blacktop with 11:1 compression on a T25 turbo and with some tweaking my AFRs are fine. The biggest thing holding me back is spark control.
One of my customers just hit 146 WHP with 11:1 compression and poncams on the stock NA ECU and an adjustable FPR. Believe it or not without the FPR he was running a little too rich. His AFRs aren't perfect but he wouldn't see huge gains from optimized fuel control. Again fully programmable spark control would benefit him much more.

Re: Toms ECU
I will have to see I should have it later this week, it looks like it is an AFC from the documents that are in the photos

Re: Toms ECU
Did you got any more documentation with that? I've got one myself for sale but information on these is scarce.

Re: Toms ECU
