Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Performance Pcm tuners for ford?

Looking to find a company that will offer upgrades to the stock PCM similar to the way Hondata does. Basically, keep the stock PCM and have it modified for chip usage and laptop editing and datalogging. I really don't want to go with a stand alone unit just because building your own fuel and ignition maps is a pain. The simplicity of hondata's setup is hard to beat. Just wanted to know if we know of a company that offers such upgrades to the stock EEC-V processor.

Try contacting Cosworth (Powerworks). They go and tune the stock ECU for their supercharger kits.....don't see why they can't do it for the Tour.

I was thinking of somthing a bit more along the lines of they socket the ECU and Provide the tools (like hondata's setup) to tune your own car. I really don't want to deal with someone over the phone and try to tell them how the car runs and then wait for a burned chip to arrive. When for a few hundred more, I CAN TUNE IT MYSELF. Besides, I don't want to have to wait for shipping my new tune when I want to be driving.

If you don't wnat to do that......talk to SCT.

There's a few...

EEC Tuner (It's for EEC IV but if you know anything about computer you might be able to get it to work..

Q. My processor is not listed ââ?¬â?? will the EEC Tuner work for me?

A. No ââ?¬â?? not really.

If you are a developer, a chip tuner, or computer hacker/car enthusiast, the answer is maybe. Here�s how. You can use hex addresses to change memory locations to values you supply. The only value to this is if you know that, for example, location 0x8C10 and 0x8C11 is where the idle is stored and it is a value that is multiplied by 4. You could calculate the changes and deposit the new value by adding the following lines to the modification file you download to your Tuner:

0x8C10 0xFA #in this example, this changes the idle to 1000 (250*4). 250=0xFA

0x8C11 0x00

twEECer (Pronounced Tweaker) (Contour isn't listed but the Focus/Escort is and they are adding the cougar, maybe you could shoot them an email.)

I'll throw this in there
Then there's always Megasquirt
Might as well

Anyway you get the point, there's a ridiculous amount of options out there. If you do get something to work for the Contique maybe we could start a group buy.

Megasquirt. You can make it work with anything and it's cheap.

These are the main guys. They have either a flasher to reprogram the stock ECU or a chip to keep the stock settings and change settings with a switch.
