Title: 24v BOB Engine Wiring
Post by 2ndgear on Feb 9^th, 2007, 9:18pm

I am installing a 24v BOB Cosworth engine into another vehicle. HOw do i get round the wiring problems? Can i get the PATS disconnected or do i have to have it wired in? Also has anyone else fitted one of these engines into something else? & how did you wire it in!
Cheers

... :D I am NOT an expert by any means, but i have learnt that without the original ecu/PATS/Key fob, it is practically impossible.... >:(

I am having one installed and using a Megasquirt mappable ECU...

Ford made it so secure, the BOB doesn't like running outside it's original body ..... :(

good luck, let us know how you get on....

Megasquirt is the best lo cost option.

It should run reasonably well on a BOA ecu too. And if you take it to a chip tuner they should eb able to tweak the EEC-IV.

Yes, as said you can wire it using a BOA eec4 but you will loose the VIS,as the BOAs did not have VIS (same for megasquirt)You could use a shiftlight to turn it on though??.It sould be possible to have the PATS removed from the ecu though
