MASS T2 confusion
i have a 89 gxl and an "EXTRA" 88t2 engine. can i run a 89-91 t2 ecu and afm/tps? will i have to worry about fuel problems? i know the 87-88 t2 engines have lower compression. can i just boost higher to compensate? i am aware that inorder for the car to work the OMP must be plugged in and grounded to the frame. i also know i need the 89-91 injectors. i have a "higher" flow intake and 2.5 downpipe straightback. with an fcd what do i do fellas....and ladies(ya never know).????i have the t2 fuel pump also with a/f and boost gauges.. bottom line can i run the 87 t2 with a 89 t2 ecu :cool:

its a huge pain. You need to realize that the series 5 uses an electric metering pump. The 87-88 t2 has a mechanical. When the series 5 ecu sees the metering pump has a problem, it goes into fail safe it will barely run. The harness for the 87-88 is different as well, you will have modifiy the harness to work with your dash harness or your instruments, warning lights wont work. Your better off keeping the series 4 harness and ecu and running an Apexi SAFC. The advantages you might gain with a S5 ecu dont outweight the huge pain its going to be getting it to work.

i am aware of the omp metering pump issues. it just needs to be grounded and that solves the problem. i have an 89 gxl so the s5 harness to s5 harness will work. people swap all the time. so what the gay boost gauge wont work:-)

Trust me. I have an 89 motor with an 87 front cover /water pump housing and mechanical OMP. The ecu periodicly checks the position of the OMP and that motor is functioning. Its does alot more than you think. |
so what did you do about your ecu or you arent even running the stock ecu?
|
any new input anyone????
|
sell the 88t2 engine and get a s5 engine either na or turbo
|
I'll buy your tII motor. Maybe I'll even go pick it up for you. Send me a PM with information about the motor like miles and compression numbers. Thanx!

Get an 89+ TII front cover, and run the 89 OMP.

I have a 91 t2 j spec motor less than 30000 from mazda racing . I ve change all the parts you need to make it work with a 87 t2 ecu . $1000
