SBEC I + SBEC II = Dual SBEC's
For an ECM, Chrysler began using the Single Board Engine Controller (a.k.a. SBEC I) in 1990 and
offered in on Turbo I configurations through 1992. When converting a Gen-2 van,
acquiring the right SBEC is a priority. But which Turbo SBEC? The 1990-91
Turbo SBECs or the very hard to find 1992 Dodge Daytona SBEC. For technical
reasons the 1992 unit would be the better choice for a post-92-and up Gen-2, but
they are impossible to find and no one offers re-calibrated 92 Turbo SBECs. The
solution? Simply run dual SBECs. (Thanks, Dave, great idea!)
I use the 90-91 Turbo SBEC for all vital Engine Control
Management (ECM), while the original 93 TBI SBEC is retained and used as a VSS
(vehicle speed sensor) to CCD-Bus speedometer driver. While the arrangement
sounds like a kludge, there's plenty of room to tuck the second SBEC behind the
battery and no one knows the difference. As the "backup" SBEC is not
required to control fuel injectors, the electronics run relatively cool. Using
the original TBI SBEC is also necessary if you choose to accommodate the 93's
original Speed Control system.

The following table shows the SBEC pin outs from 1990 to 1992 for the Turbo I.
Also shown is the rare 1993 Flexible Fuel (FF) SMPI and the common
garden-variety 1993 TBI SBEC. Note: the FF SMPI is interesting to
study, as it shares the 90-91 Turbo's SMPI wiring but with the 93 body changes.
But the FF SBEC's are rare and their fuel delivery tables would need to be
re-programmed for Turbo duty. Chrysler circuit designations and abbreviations
are followed.Major changes in
1992 included moving ASD (Auto Shutdown) pin 8
in (90-91) to pin 57 in 92-up. Also a
electronically driven speedometer was driven over the CCD Bus and the speed control
switchgear was simplified.
Speed Control MODE Switches in 1990-91 occupied SBEC pins 48, 49,
50. In 1992 & up Speed Controls (SC) were simplified to only use
SBEC pin
23 for Mode Switching. Mopar simply added three voltage-dropping
resistors within the wheel-mounted speed control switch assembly, permitting the
93 SBEC to sense SET or RESUME (Decel or Accel) or a single wire by voltage
changes. Speed Control output solenoid servo control SBEC pins 33 and 53 remained
unchanged. The actual speed control servos appear to be interchangeable.
The intake manifold Charge Air Temperature sensor
signal used on factory intercooled SBEC;s (Turbo II, Turbo III, and
Turbo IV) is also shown on pin 21, (normally
not wired or used on on the stock Turbo I SBEC). Note: The Charge Air Temp
sensor is grouded, along with other sensors at SBEC pin
4; or, K4 Sensor Return Ground.
