The Stinger Performance Plug-in Megasquirt 3 Powered (PiMPx) engine control unit is the most user-friendly and capable plug and play option available for Ford EEC-IV equipped vehicles. It uses the latest MS3 firmware. Plug and play means you remove the stock ECU, plug in the PiMPx, run a vacuum/boost line from the PIMPx to the engine, follow a few basic setup steps, plug in a wideband o2 meter, and it's ready to start up and begin tuning. It also allows you to remove the factory air meter (VAM on 2.3T cars, MAF on V8 cars) and run a filter directly off of your turbo or cold air intake tube.
Not only does it allow you to remove the factory air meter (which is a huge restriction and packaging issue on 2.3T powered vehicles) but it also features Tune Analyze Live which is an auto tuning capability built into the tuning software. This powerful feature will tune the fuel table on it's own while you do nothing but drive around under varying conditions. This allows the end user to tune the idle and cruising portion of the fuel map to "better than stock" often in less than 30 minutes. Additionally, the PiMPx comes with a base tune featuring dyno proven and safe timing maps that should get the engine started and ready to tune to your particular setup.
Based on Megasquirt 3 technology, the PiMPx is designed to run the ignition system stock to your vehicle by default. Many different Ford ignition systems are supported including TFI, DIS, EDIS, CDI (MSD style ignition boxes), and when using the Internal Expansion Port, Individual Coil Packs with a Crank & Cam Trigger our our CAS kit and our coil on plug harness kit. For non-stock ignition systems or fueling strategies, additional wiring modifications or additions may be required.
The PiMPx was designed to work in any batch fire EEC-IV (OBD-1) Ford vehicle (~83-95), though it hasn't been tested in all possible applications. If your application isn't listed below, feel free to inquire about using this ECU for your 83-95 Ford EFI application as it will most likely work, we just haven't had our hands on one to be able to call it "verified". The tested and verified working applications are listed below.
Note that the PiMPx doesn't require the typical 2.3 "turbo swap" wiring changes to the harness like you have to do in order to run a factory turbo ECU in a non-turbo vehicle, or "mass-air swap" wiring changes like you do to run a V8 Mass-Air ECU in a Speed Density application. This is especially important in the DIS/Dual Plug 2.3 vehicles (91-93 Mustangs & 89-95 Rangers) where the turbo swap wiring is quite daunting.

All of the software and documentation needed to get you up and running comes on a 1GB USB Flash Drive. That way you don't need wireless internet to access these items. A 20+ page startup guide covers every detail to get you up and running including PiMPx installation, software setup, and hardware configuration. The PiMPx section of our Tech Support Forum is available to cover any questions you may have that aren't covered in the startup guide.
Note that all PiMPx ECU's are built exactly the same from a hardware standpoint. The end user can configure the PiMPx to work with the vehicles/engines listed above without needing to send the unit back for upgrading or modification. This means you can use it in a 2.3 powered car. Then if you purchase another 83-95 Ford down the road, you can re-configure it to work in the new car without issue (unless it's a sequential application, then the ECU can be sent in and upgraded to be a sequential PiMPxs version). This is a feature that is exclusive to the PiMPx and not available elsewhere.
Also note that the PiMPx comes with all features built-in. No need to pay for each feature or send it back to upgrade to additional features (unless they are advanced features that are not listed above). Some features do require some external hardware (nitrous solenoids, water injection pump, boost control solenoid, flex fuel sensor, switches or relays, etc.) Also note that you can get $60 worth of software for only $39.99 with this ECU which you will not find anywhere else.
Add Internal Real-Time Baro:
It is rare that our customers use real-time barometric adjustment so we've made it an optional add-on due to the cost of the sensor itself (no reason to have you pay for something you won't use). It's rare to use because it's only really beneficial when you frequently drive over large mountain ranges with over 6000ft of elevation change. It could be considered reasonable to use it if you drive through elevation changes above 2000ft but the benefit is minimal compared to the benefit at higher elevation changes.
Note this has nothing to do with the elevation you live at, it's only related to elevation change while driving (so someone living in Denver that doesn't drive this vehicle over the mountains wouldn't need it any more than someone living at sea level).
-Not for on-road use in vehicles required to be emissions compliant.
