OBR Stage 1 Package
Control pack 1 includes ECU with basic tune, engine and power harnesses, 1 NTK wide band lambda sensor, 1 bar TMAP sensor kit and OB256 communication kit
OBR has put together engine control packs for Ford's early version of 7.3 V8 'Godzilla' engine, up to and including 2022.
The early version of the 7.3 engine is different from the later version (2023+) and both software and the engine harness are different from the later kit versions. You will need a dedicated kit for an early engine.
The intake manifold is a great design and help produce the excellent torque figure
Fitting this control pack to a standard engine, saw torque figures around 550 lb.ft. and power reaching 500 hp, all according to the STP norm.
When fitted with the new BTR 'Truck Norris' stage 1 camshaft you can expect an increase of torque to around 620 lb.ft. and power around 590 hp with the stock exhaust manifolds..
Among the options of ECU tunes is one made for the engine fitted with the new BTR "Truck Norris' camshaft and the new Ford Performance intake manifold and its 92 mm throttle body as well. Changing from the stock exhaust manifolds to our dyno long tube exhaust manifolds, performance for this engine increased to 626 hp and 645 lb.ft of torque.
The aim is to supply customers with a well-engineered, high-quality and easy-to-install kit, offering very good drivability straight out of the box.
A base kit includes these parts:
- OBR E8G controller with a base tune.
- New OBR engine wiring harness (build in-house using aircraft-style high-quality wire).
- Power supply harness with relays for engine, fuel pump and fan.
- One NTK wide band lambda sensor for closed-loop fuel control.
- TMAP sensor with an adapter to fit on the intake manifold.
- Communication kit OB256 for full access to the ECU calibration.
Kits are designed to connect to standard sensors, actuators and drive-by-wire throttle body, no modifications or exchange of parts are required.
The ECU is supplied with a calibration preloaded, either one for use with a standard crate engine or with one based on our in-house engine calibration work for various combinations of engine parts, such as for example:
- Throttle body
- Intake manifold
- Camshaft
- Naturally aspirated, supercharged or turbo charged
Updating the ECU calibration is straightforward calibration-wise. To access the ECU you will need the OB256 communication kit, which is included with the kit. The software is free of charge and can be downloaded from our website. This way you have full access to all software parameters and you can update and tune the engine to suit high-performance requirements.
Euro-8+ kits include an OBD II port with the standard 16-way connector. You can plug a scan tool or an OBD II compatible display module into read engine data.
Additionally, data can also be read via a dedicated CAN connection.
Swapping this engine into your classic vehicle and worried about torque handling and drive ability? No need to worry at all, the control package can be extended to include 4-wheel speed sensors to add traction control....
