ECM Modification By FeatherFoots Friend

[FeatherFoot]

I hope I didn't put a knot in anyone's drawers with my tennis `shoe comment'. I know that Tone is out of town for a couple of days and I wuz sorta fillin in for him.

I don't know why, but, a friend of mine has the code for all of the GM computers and the computer in the VX looks just like the GM ones.

Any of y'all want me to persue this any further??

If the safety margins aren't great enough to allow some significant improvement he may not think it worthwhile. I know that he pulled another 30 HP out of Deans '94 350cid with a little more timming and more fuel.

will probably need 25 to 35 units prepaid to make it happen. Will probably cost in the $350.00 range. +/- 25%.

post it. I'll read it.

If there actually is a significant improvement I am down, but I don't believe we can get that many pre-orders. If you could you should have it programed for the S/Ced engines, we could probobally pull 10 pre-orders for that if it showed a 30hp increase. If we are willing to pay $3,000 for a +75hp SC, why not another $350 for + another 30hp?

$350 for 30hp is cheap - I'm in - IF - it's really there. There are precious few things you can do for an additional 30 hp - hell the S/C is $2600 (+ INSTALLATION) for 50 hp - $350 for 30hp is a bargain!! I guess you'll have to convince me (and many others here) that it's true, and then you'll have no problem getting your pre-orders - hell, you'll probably be inundated!! Guess we've all been somewhat jaded by the promises of xtra hp with cheap rip-off "gadgets" to the point that we are sceptical of these "easy hp" claims. Get Tone to back it and you'll sell all you can make!!!

John I am in! With the SC we can use the additional programming...

Might they be able to remove the limit on the top speed?

Is this 30+ HP at the wheel? If it is im in, and if it isn't....well im still, and if theres not top speed restriction....dang it just gets better doesn't it?

I'm down for whatever you can find out FF. 30+ hp today is just another step closer to 650 hp tomorrow.

[FeatherFoot]

It's a go!!

My buddy sez he will but can't start until after the end of the year.

[FeatherFoot]

He also sez it will work on all of the 3.2L and 3.5L v6 engines if GM/Isuzu havent done something wierd.

I'm wondering how much hp/torque improvement SC'd VX's will see... I'm interested!

very, very interested

What will the mod require? Send in the whole engine control module? Will a core be needed or will the module be sold outright?

1 version for normally aspirated and another for S/C'ed?

[Cyrk]

I'm game for a SC version...

He does a couple of methods currently.

One is to send in the module and get a single program loaded into it. With `next day' service you have your ECM back in hand in 2 days.

The other is a programmer with multiple programs. A current version has 1. your stock program - 2. A fuel economy program - 3. A towing program and lastly (4) a performance program.

You have the ability to change programs as/when your requirements change.

Dean went through the chip replacement thing with him and we swapped chips a couple of times because Dean didn't want a generic performance chip. He is very happy now.

This sounds very promising, especially the ability to choose between 4 different programs.. Would that be by switch? I know I'm jumping the guns but, can you give any more specific info?

[FeatherFoot]

The multi-programable will be able to deal with the torque management, tire size , shift points etc.

ALL OF THIS is based on his being able to work with whut GM has done. but as a minimum we should be able to tweak the ECM nicely.
