OBR 2020-2022 Ford 7.3 V8 Godzilla Crate Engine Control Pack (Early Engine)

For 2020-2022 Godzilla engines

This control pack is for the early version of the Ford 7.3L Godzilla, built from 2020 through 2022. Ford updated the engine for 2023 with a new intake manifold, an 86 mm throttle body, different ignition coils and a different oil pressure sensor, so the ECU software and engine harness are different. Running a 2023 or newer engine? You need the OBR 2023+ Godzilla control pack instead.

• Kit 1 (OB202): naturally aspirated
• Kit 2 (OB207): supercharged or turbo

Not sure which engine you have, or running a non-stock intake, throttle body or cam? Message us with the engine year and parts list before ordering and we will confirm the right kit and tune.

What is in the box

Kit 1 (OB202):

• OBR Euro-8+ stand-alone ECU, loaded with a startup tune
• OBR early-engine harness with new OEM connectors for sensors, injectors, coils, throttle body, VCT and the oil pressure control valve
• Power harness with 3 relays (ECU, fuel pump, fan), all on 30A fuses, plus tach and second fan outputs
• 1 NTK wideband O2 sensor for closed-loop fuel control
• 1-bar TMAP sensor and adapter, no drilling required
• OB256 communication and tuning kit with full access to the calibration (software is a free download)
• Standard 16-pin OBD II port

Kit 2 (OB207): everything in Kit 1, plus a 3-bar TMAP sensor and 8 high-flow fuel injectors (67 lb/hr at 58 psi, direct replacement for the stock injectors).

What it controls

The kit plugs into the stock sensors, coils, injectors and drive-by-wire throttle body. Nothing on the engine has to be changed. The ECU runs:

• Factory drive-by-wire throttle body, reading its SENT signal directly
• Variable cam timing in closed loop
• Variable oil pressure control in closed loop
• Stock ignition coils
• Closed-loop fuel correction from the wideband, with flex fuel support

The startup tune is calibrated on 93 octane with fuel pressure set to 60 psi. An 87-octane calibration is available on request. If you change the intake, throttle body, cam or add boost, the tune will need adjusting. The OB256 kit gives you or your tuner full access to do that. Early engines can also be upgraded with the 2023 intake and 86 mm throttle body. Ask us about the parts and matching calibration.

Performance

On OBR's dyno, a stock engine on their calibration made about 500 hp at 5,800 rpm and 560 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm (STP correction, without the vehicle exhaust). With the BTR stage 1 cam on stock manifolds, expect around 590 hp and 620 lb-ft.

Racing and data features

• 128 Mb on-board data logging with free analysis software
• CAN export of up to 80 channels for dashes, data loggers and transmission controllers
• Drag timer control of boost target, throttle, timing offset, rev limit and nitrous after trans-brake release
• Two-step and launch control
• Traction control with 4 wheel speed sensors
• Power-shift and paddle-shift control for manual race transmissions

Sold separately

• OBR throttle pedal kit (OB251-F)
• Second wideband O2 sensor (OB6312-V) for bank-to-bank fuel control
• Automatic transmissions need a separate stand-alone transmission controller. The engine harness has a connector for it.

Support

OBR includes 12 months of phone and email support plus 2 hours of software and calibration support with every kit.
