Will the PM8 (hf) ecu work with my sohc zc? Would it be safe,
would it make my car be a little for fuel efficient.

I remember a while back I had an hf and I ran a PM6 and it
seemed fine, didnt notice any power differance but it ran
fun.

Thanks

 

pm6 runs good with the zc..

 

i made a thread called sohc zc and i was told that the best ecu for the sohc zc is the pm6

 

well yeah I know the pm6 (si/ex) is the best for that motor.
But I was trying to play around with it and see what happens,
im not trying to swap that for more power, im trying to
swap to be a little more fuel efficient, (just experimenting)
and to make sure it wont harm the motor in any way.

 

It wont work.

 

any insight on that.

 

I tried it and the motor would never turn on with the hf ecu. I was trying it to see if I could increase gas mileage.

I just did a basic swap of the ecus and turned the key. I am not sure if the ecu will get a stock motor to turn on though, mine is far from stock.

 

Yeah it will work no problem. just won't be "right"

 

read my sig for mrspeakers great fuel injection understanding

 

any obd-zero ecu will start the car, but it will run like ****. Fuel maps, timing, rev limits, etc... will all be different.

For the Sohc Zc, probably the stock Si pm6 ecu would be best. I ran a 89 Teg pg7 on my Dohc Zc a while back, and it was great. Not sure if it will benifit the single cam one though

i've unplugged my ecu, and it didnt start or run.... it just cranked. i dont know what mr. speaker was talking about on that one.
