Has anyone tried this? I was considering converting my GLHS to 87 electronics, but with this available there is no reason to! I'll order some ZIF stockets today and hopefully will have this flashed in a week or two. Today is the day I'll be trying out the Turbonator T3 code on my R/T.
On a side note, is there any good source for the 8K eproms/eeproms? I'd prefer not to destroy the original chips if I don't have to.
For some reason I thought the smaller 8K eproms had fewer pins than the 16K+ eproms. I'll have to take a look. I know all of the older GM eproms had a reduced pin count.
Anyone ever have the chance to try this out?
Anyone? Beuller?
Not yet, still trying to get one put together. The was a guy local to roachjuice that me and him were trying to build an '86 cal for, but haven't heard from him in a while.
Anyone try this yet?
Has anyone tried this code base yet? My GLHS is apart for an injector swap and I'd like to know if I should buy a fuel pressure regulator or be the guinea pig for this code. I'll need to order a couple sockets and chips, but I have every intention of getting this finished this week so I can auto-x the car on Sunday (7 days from now).
Rob,
I just ordered 2 chips and 2 sockets. I'll install my 52 lb injectors this afternoon and will setup the ECU with the Turbonator code base as soon as the hardware arrives. I'll be starting with a 2 bar map first.
I just tested the Turbonator GLHS code on my 86S. I'm running 72 lb injectors, so I scaled everything for 81 lbs since I'm running 55 psi fuel pressure, cranked the boost to 14 psi, and used the stage 2 timing with the anti-lag and stock staging limiter values.
The car runs damn well. I can't wait to see how it works at the auto-x tomorrow. I think there was something wrong with my stock injectors, so the combination of new injectors and this cal transformed the car. I guess now I need to install a boost gauge and my WB02...
Nice!
Any possibility that you have a Turbonator style ignition table for the 86? I ask because I am running megasquirt, and the timing table is definitely not correct because I have been using a swirl head spark table while my engine runs a G-head. I have tried to interpolate the stock G head cal into something that resembles a cell type spark table like what I am used to working with, but that has been an exercise in futility. Chrysler's spark tables are split into like 10 different line graphs that all interact together to get a final advance, and are listed in PSI instead of KPA like I am used to seeing.
I can tell this engine is not running enough timing but since I don't know where the baseline for a g head is I am very wary of making a lot of adjustments.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
