That was me using improper language when I said "programmable". I know it's actually programmable via the chip. What I meant was actually programming in real time using an emulator. But maybe I...

Ok, got it. Except for the chip reader and writer. What exactly do I need to do that?

I would love to be able to tune this. Buying a chip for several hundred dollars that might work ok, and...

Well, ok. Let's say that at least for one of my vehicles, I stay with it's original OBD1 TBI system, but want to tune it for a better cam, heads, and exhaust. It's a 1994 GMC K1500 5.7 4x4. I...

So, how easy is it to burn your own chips?? The little reading I did on it made it seem rather daunting to get set up for that...

Then, converting OBD1 to being programmable. Again, over my...

Separate question.

There's "I need a touch more "accelerator pump" and want to fatten up the midrange a touch."

Then there's "I'll adjust VE and change some Bins and tweak the trims."

I'm...

Ok, thanks guys.

Anyone have anything to say about the FITECH offerings? Budget is a really tough consideration here, and the much vaunted Holley systems are so expensive.

A while back, I...

I used to be a hell of an engine builder and tuner. I also used to be pretty hot at learning new tech.

But now, at 70, learning all this EFI tuning stuff is sounding more daunting than I want to...

Thanks guys.

Is Megasquirt any good?

But then I'm not sure what I would use for the TBI itself...

Vettepilot

Ok, thanks.

One thing I hate about IAC is how slow it is to return to low idle. (On all cars with EFI.) I know it's to resist stalling, but I like an engine to crisply rev, then instantly return...

Thanks for the reply!

Well, let's take a hypothetical scenario. I'm brainstorming an engine that I might actually do. A 454 big block Chevy with a "Thumpr" cam and FITech TBI. The cam is...

Guys, I've always used cams with relatively tight lobe separation values in my hot rods, and been very happy with the performance in every case. It's my personal choice, so let's not get off track...

Hi,


I want to hook my tablet computer up to my 1994 GMC K1500 pickup via the cheapest reliable option possible. I have a new tablet, and I have purchased the "ALDL DROID" program. Now, I just...

Ok, thanks. However, the cable you referenced is with the larger USB connector; not the smaller one that Android phones and tablets use.

Also, on that page, I believe all the software that you...

Hi all,

I have, in the past, used an ALDL Cable to hook various OBD1 vehicles to my laptop for trouble-shooting, tuning, and fun. As I recall, it was a serial port connection; not USB. (It was...
