you will be fine using the 98 ecu. You way want a tune, just to raise the rev limiter.

also in reguards to my last reply, that 01 motor is already tuned and ran for the 01 ecu and whatnot. Dont retard it throwing in another ECU to save money because in the end your going to find m ore problems and whatnot im sure. thats just our luck and you know it :google2:

no not necassarily because if you do the PI h/c/i swap you use the sn95 ecu.
Another thing my mechanic said was that the COPS are very prone to overheating. The biggest reason ford replaced the coil packs and wires was weight and a cleaner looking engine bay.

thanks Dave! I was actually kinda worried for a sec but then i realized that there is no ecu swap when you do a pi h/c/i swap. a dyno tune is planned for (hopefully) May.
So I'm gonna just use the 98 wiring harness, plug wires, coil packs and ecu. I'll invest in the 01 ECU when I can find one, just to make the engine bay look neater and lose the 3 or 4lbs from the coil packs and wires..... :)

When i put my pi in i didnt have to change anything but the intake and flywheel. Everything else swapped over. Its a Romeo engine though so maybe theres a difference.

Did you use the COPS or your wires and coilpacks? Did you use your alternator? Cause mine mounts alittle different than the 01.

So i just got off the phone with my mechanic. He said the best thing to do for now is to make the 01 motor work with my car. meaning use my ecu, plug wires and coil packs and wiring harness. because the 01 ecu may interfere with my anti-theft, and possibly the guages. he said he's not sure what is different between the 2 ecu's in terms of how they control things (guages,anti theft,etc.). I'm just hoping that i don't rob the motor of any power using my ecu. :dunno:
with the 01, you can switch over to digital gauges...but i have heard swithcing the harnesses isn't wrth it. :dunno:

i'm just gonna use the 98 harness for now. just to get my car on the road. in the next couple months or as sonn as i find an ecu then i'll switch things over (maybe)

no no I wasngt planning on going any crazy route. I have been eyeballing a few for sale and figureing out how long it would take if I like slammed on the princible to pay it off. My lats car I modded I ended up selling everything off it just to make it by. This time If I get the supra I will take my modding money and put it all on my balance. Stock psi and whatnot will be good for a daily driver and also a nice race line up for mr silversol for fun cuz thats what we do :dancing6:.
