  • Couple Quick Questionf for Magnus

    1. Are the pinouts on the PCM the same from 96 to 97?

    2. Do you know of a place I can get a 97 PCM to do the swap into the 96 so that I can use the HP Tuners software?

    TIA,

    Rob

        DO NOT:
        - write a binary that came from another VCM
        - write a binary file that has been created or modified using another software package


        so does this mean i can't use your soft war b/c westers tune my PCM already

          I think he is refering more twards like LS1 people.. in the sence that hey could make a tune and ls1 edit.. then try and load it with hp tuners.. if they were tards..

          you can unload your westers tune if its not loacked in and then edit it fine..

            You would have to get your Westers tuned PCM reflashed back to stock before using HP Tuners.

              You can read your PCM first and then edit that binary and will be good to go.

              If westers tuned you PCM you are still all good. You can still use our product on your PCM without problem.

              I believe you can even read your PCM and then send the file to westers if you want some custom mail order tuning done. He would send you the file back and then you would use that file and simply write the PCM in 30 seconds.

                Okay, got a line on a PCM, now then. Should I have it flashed with my VIN, and flashed to a Y87 spec?

                Thanks,

                  do not flash a 97 with a 96 VIN.

                  If the PCM is for the same transmission as yours, just leave it as is. If it is not, flash it with a 97 VIN that has the same transmission as yours.

                    Does anyone know what Wester's uses to tune our PCM's? I have a Wester's tuned PCM and when I put it in I was like "WOW!".

                    Actually it took two PCM's to get one that worked. I had a alternator problem when I put the first PCM in and I think I fried it or something. He sent me another one (he is real helpful). Unfortuntely, on the second one he forgot to change my gear ratio from 3.08 to 3.42 so my speedo is off :( He was going to send me another one but I told him not to worry about it because I didn't want to mess with getting another crank position relearn procedure.

                    Anyway, I am glad to see I could use HP Tuner's to update my PCM if I would want to in the future, I didn't even know this was an option until I read this thread. I don't want to pay $500 just to change my gear ratio though. Maybe if I ever go forced induction I will get it.
