Is it possible to ...

1.) To use a US SVT ECU in a european car? I ask beacause of taction control and will our keys work?

2.) To remove IMRC and EGR in the ECU? Want to use a full ST220 engine.

With my actual ECU I've to hack MAF, IMRC and EGR. No tuning software avariable. Not ideal ...

 

[ST200]

Any suggestions?!

People have swapped SVT PCM's into their non SVT Contiques. If it will work into a Mondeo, that I have no idea. Nobody has done it. You don't neccesarily need an SVT PCM to see if it will work. I would suggest picking up a base model 98-00 PCM and see if it works since those are cheaper.

The IMRC and EGR can be turned off via tune only.

OK, than it's possible!

... that brings new questions:

-What do I need exactly for that? I was on SCT homepage ... but I don't see what's the right product for me.
-Can someone help me with the tuning software? I think the will be no big "EGR-OFF"-button.

I would suggest getting an XCAL from Joey at NPG.

What year is the ST200?

I assume it has PATS?

It's built 10-1999.

Yes, it has PATS. This system is built in the PCM and it's one step bevore the Focus. The Focus-1 keys are not compatible.

don't european cars use a different "computer language" for the pcm? like there are currently 4 different ones cars sold in the US ...

 

[99Mystique ATX]

Yea, pretty much. This is what makes it hard for them to get any tuning done.

I assume the car is returnless then correct? Any chance you could snap a pic or two of the PCM?

 

[ST200]

It's with fuel return and has the green injectors.

 

[99Mystique ATX]

19lb I assume then...

Anyway you can get a pic or maybe some more info about the PCM?

 

[ST200]

Do you need the PCM number (XXXX-12A650-XX) ... that's no problem, I can read it out with the Ford-IDS. For everything else I've to take out the PCM ... maybe this weekend.

 

[99Mystique ATX]

A generic pic will do too. Do they look anything like the PCM's for the US version of the Contour? Any idea?

 

[ST200]

The look is the same. Connector should fit, hope the wiring is the same.

 

[ST200]

Won a SFG2 PCM in ebay. Try to get it work. If successful, I'm back with a lot of questions!

 

[beyondloadedSE]

Wooo! Let us know! I'm interested to know if it works.

i have an SVT RLJ1 in my 98 ST24. It works fine except the trip computer reads 0 mpg when stationary and 99 MPG when moving ??!! I have external PATS and upgraded to 19lb orange injectors for up coming mods. I think i may just use some of the tables in the SVT pcm in my original ST24 pcm, since the SVT/ST200 higher compression tables may be useless to me and it doesn't have the firmware for the trip computer which i use as a rough guide on how things are running...I'll be following with interest..G.

 

[ST200]

:shocked::shocked::shocked: No trip computer in the Contour?! :shocked::shocked::shocked:
I can't believe! This is one of the things I don't expected. Hope the later PCM has this feature.

 

[99Mystique ATX]

Your best bet for a trip computer would be a newer Cougar... Some of them had it although i'm not sure if it was integrated into the PCM or not...

 

[ST200]

Does Ford ever built a Cougar SVT?
