Well, using my friendly search didn't turn up anything, but. Can it be done? or is it just heaps easier to change the whole dash into EF/EL?

oops... betta pm nicko or DCSTRAIGHT to have it moved into where it should be...

Alright, after some search and a little helping hand from Kyle_Bardell, I found that BenJ has already done this with his old Red EB, and I now have a couple of questions for you .



What ECU where you running? and where exactly did the EL Engine come from? a GLI?

The ED is a Fairmont, and therefore it is running a ED Fairmont ECU, I have once heard that on the EL ECU's, the Fuel Mappings vary from Model to Model on the ECU's, so if this "Over Fueling" is accouring, would it be better to try and use a different Model ECU to try and counter this?

Hi Mate.

What I can say with some certainty, is that in my case, the car started suffering from running rich at idle after I put in the EL Ghia ECU which has the XR Fuel and Ignition Maps. I originally had the Tickford 300kpa Fuel Pressure Reg on, and to try and fix it I replaced it with a standard one. This improved it marginally. Then I put in a base model ECU over the weekend, and it did not improve the idle, or midrange.

Now, it may be the case that my car actually has another problem, and I will be swapping sensors in and out over the next week to try and correct it. I have already swapped in a known good HEGO sensor, with no obvious effect.

I suggest you obtain a EL GLi ECU as they are the most common, plug it in and see how the car goes, than make up your own mind before you dedicate a WHOLE LOT of time and effort in to putting the NF/NL Fairlane cluster in.

If you are serious about going ahead, I am willing to help you. Send me a PM, and we can get together on MSN.

Thank you soo much Benj , I will see what happens when I put in a EL Gli Computer in, I'm running the stock Fuel Reg, but I do have a XR6 one sitting here.
