How many of ya have experience with the EEC-IV twEECer system? i've read over their website and i like the sound of it... but it's the performance of it that really counts. I can probably get my hands on a cheap laptop. Is this system effective and reasonably easy for an amature to tune up a stock A9P? and does it deliver good performance gains?

Re: Computers

I have its cousin, the EEC Tuner, and I think it's great, it lets you maximize whatever combo you happen to have, but the learning curve is steep, and you need to get a WideBand 02 to fully make use of it.

Taking a look at your sig, if that what your car has right now then you won't be able to do much with the Tweecer/EEC Tuner.

I assume you have a Calibrated MAF for your 24lb Injectors, unless you've tuned it mechanically(with a FPR) or already have a Custom Chip, most likely you're running richer than you should. Tweecer can take care of that.

I love my EEC Tuner primarily because the T4M0 (SN95 EEC) is severly crippled, and instead of having to replace the whole harness and stick in a A9L, I can just run the A9L Program as if it were stock

Even though my mods aren't many yet, I can feel a huge difference, and when I get the stuff I have coming (Heads, Intake, Rockers, and WB02) oh man, I am going to be able to pull out every last horse out of my humble setup

i do in fact have a calibrated MAF, the C&L has an interchangable tube which sends different amoutns of air to the wire, which in turn sends different signals to the computer. the EGR and smog pump are bypassed and disconnected, and it does in fact run rich all the time, even wide open. with the mods i have in mind in the near future (gears, intake, nitrous, big tires, etc.) a tuner will become quite necessary. i'll also add a regulator and throttle body sooner or later.

so based on all that, getting a twEECer is looking better and better.

Re: Computers

Yeah looking at it that way you will definitely need it, *especially* for the Nitrous.

It really is a good investment as far as having tuning power in your hands. You should pick up a WB02 while you're at it as well, I will hopefully either pick up a used one soon, or just build my own unit.

I bought mine from www.themustangshop.ca which is a Canadian Mustang site.

You could order it directly from www.eec-tuner.com or buy one used from someone. EEC Tuner is a little more difficult to install (EEC has to be opened and Tuner fit into it) as compared to the Tweecer, which basically just connects directly to the J3 Port.
