Looking into swapping from '7165 to '7730

[Dewayne_S]

I haven't been on here in a while so I thought I should drop in. I had been thinking about swapping from '7165 6E to '7730 8D. I have 2 ECM's but both have 6 cylinder eproms. If I remember correctly I will have to have one for a V8 for spark control, is this correct? If so, I guess the next challenger will be finding one at a reasonable price.

As it turns out, now would be a good time to make the swap. The engine and transmission is out of the car due to a broken crankshaft.

One option would be purchase a Brand New 5.0 Liter Memcal. AC Delco 16163062

or

Amazon.com appears to be a decent price, compared to the Ebay listing?

Or you can use the jumper method. LHM won't be correct, and the knock filter will need to be addressed.

The way I would do the knock sensor/filter is to retain your current knock sensor and filter and add the 4.7K ohm resistor to the MEMCAL to keep the ECM happy and not throw a code. The details can be found, I think the info is in the FAQ.

why the swap form 6E to 8D

I didn't know I could do that. For what it's worth, I don't run a knock sensor now. For some reason I couldn't make it stop getting false knock retard.

Because almost every time I have a 6E issue I can't figure out the first advise I get is to swap to 8D. Even Craig Moates went from 6E to 8D, I can't help but think there is an advantage somewhere since he made the swap. I have been in his car, it's a monster. Also, I made a 3.5 inch MAF housing and I can't help but wonder if the sensor is no sensitive enough for small changes in air flow. When I take off at very light throttle I can't seem to stop it from going lean.
Plus I'm thinking about putting the Stealth Ram and MAF system on my boat.

have a look at our aussie code $12p runs in 1227165 but is SD map based no maf to worry about stable 8192 baud aldl and fully defined xdf and adx
