EL BBM Manifold into 93 EBII Falcon - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

Hi, I have a 93 EB series 2, and i got my hands on a EL intake manifold the other day, just waiting on a few more parts then i should be installing in soon, just wondering whether the EF/EL ECU fits the plug on my existing EB harness, or do i have to replace it with a EL engine bay harness?

Can you give me a part no. to a ECU which is suitable, and how much is a reasonable price to pay 2nd hand from a wrecker. And is the MAP sensor on the EB different to the EL one, should that be replaced to?

Thanks heaps dudes,

Cheers,

Brett.

Cant use a EF one. Has to be EL.

Someone here was selling EL XR6 manual ecus for $300 to give u an idea of price.
Im not sure bout the rest but

Yep EL. You'll need Smartlock as well; serII ought to have that.
I can e-mail you a pinout comparison sheet if you like, there's a few wires need adding. Primarily the BBM valve signal wire, but it also covers fan control wires, etc. as well. Also the power steering wire needs to be moved.

The MAP is the same EA-EL. I'm actually running my original EBI MAP sensor still. The car's had a variety of engines, computers, and intakes in it and has had no problems with the MAP.

Cheers dudes,

If ya could email me that info that'd be great mongrelEB, my email address is samson351w@hotmail.com

The car is has a smartlock module, and is a auto. Will a manual EL ECU work or do i need one for a auto? and with the manual ECU's for the XR's are they limited to 180km/h like the Gli ECU's?

Thanks again,

Brett

Use an auto one.
A manual one will work, but won't raise the idle to keep it alive in D.

I do not believe the XR ECU is speed limited at all.

Oh yeah, I would usually expect to pay about $60-$100 for an auto computer from a wrecker. XR will obviously be dearer. And rarer :/

EL ecu with catch code 6DBD or 6DBB will work in an EB2, plug out / plug in.
You will need to re set the base timing etc...
Also the Power / Econ switch will be reversed in operation, so will the light.
Error codes will appear for SSPS, Evap Sensor and Fans, but will not cause any operational issues.
