What exactly do you want to achieve with rusEfi? But yes, you can anyway

Re: v6 cologne engine
I think russian was looking for a list of goals like this.
-- 6 channel port injection, or single carb injector
-- 6 channel ignition, or single coil distributor style
-- sensor including intake temp, coolant temp, MAP or MAF, ect.
Then the short answer is, yes it can do all of the options noted above.

The wiki is a semi boiled down version of the forums. You probably would find interest in this page http://rusefi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual:Hardware_Frankenso_board

Re: v6 cologne engine
what's the original purpose of ecu in this vehicle?
I recall I've seen a granada from mid 80s with injection-equipped v6. it could be the very same model of v6 engine
for instance, i've found an intake manifold from injector engine and this would be an easy swap (at least i hope so). do you intend to keep carb or go injection?

Re: v6 cologne engine
A lot of carbureted engines from the late 1970's / early 1980's had a controller to affect O2 sensor based fuel mixture adjustments, i.e. Holley 5200 / 6500 series. Mikuni, Weber and Rochester are among other who also had feedback type carburetors. I also believe Ford / Motorcraft had a feedback type 2150 used on early 80's 6 and 8 cylinder engines.puff wrote:what's the original purpose of ecu in this vehicle?

You can lead the horticulture but you can't make them think.
Re: v6 cologne engine
I collect same original Ford Efi system parts. No problem with this, i use some of them for run with rusEFI, intake manifold have too.puff wrote:what's the original purpose of ecu in this vehicle?

First, my gra cant move. Today i start to swap engine. Extract old v6 to rebuild, and tomorrow, i hope, push another one v6.
Second - return the normal state with carb.
Third - implement rusEFI
