changing 93 to a 94+ ecu, weight question
I'm going to look at the car two hours from now! Please does anyone know!
I'm thinking of selling my 94 to get a 93. Few questions. I'm still going the nitrous route, and want to dyno tune the car. What all do I need to do to go from a 93 to a 94+ ECU setup? I've got a spare MAF laying around and I'm sure I can get the ECU without much of a issue.
The car I am looking at has T-tops, power windows and locks. How much weight is that over my hard top, manual windows/locks car? Thanks -Corey

Well if I stay with the 93 ECU I need someone to burn chips. So that means I would have to find a dyno, and someone who can burn chips near me. Or I can go with the 94+ setup and do a few pulls and be tuned.
How are you doing it? Do you have someone who can burn chips right there on the spot with the dyno?
I would like to know by tommarow, as that is when I am going to look at this car.
I was hoping it wasn't going to add that much weight, any more input from people about my two questions???

About the weight thing Im going to say not much at all maybe like 20-25lbs. but thats just a guess. I forget the old weight of my fully optioned '95 but it didnt weight much more than my stripper '97 with t-tops. I think t-tops are about 10-15lbs. heavier than the hard tops. I wouldn't let the weight thing be a factor.

Lawrence, do you know someone or did you do it that way yourself? So I can modify the 93 harness to work with a 94-95 ECU?
yeah the weight isn't really a issue, but being able to tune this thing in real time, by say RevXtreme, on a dyno is really important to me. I don't want to spend money only to squeeze the trigger and have the motor go boom. So far as I know there is no one local who can burn chips to me. I have a 58mm TB for a 94+ car sitting here.
So can I just swap in a 94-95 harness and ECU then? Take the 93's engine harness out? I know that the cluster was driven by the ecu on 94+ cars also, wonder what I have to change there? I also know the 93s were batch fire, so I'm wondering if it is easiest to swap the whole engine harness. I'm just going to check this car out, so I will know in a few hours how seriously I'm thinking of getting it. Thanks guys.

Ok I'm not getting the 93. I don't think I'm ever going to contemplate getting rid of my 94. I was reminded today how lucky I was to find a completely stock one owner car when I purchased mine. The car I looked at would probably have been a lot faster than mine, but needed a lot of work cosmetically.
So I guess this can be locked, I'm done with it.
