Does Moates Ostrich perform all the functions of APU1?
Does Moates Ostrich perform all the functions of APU1?
Dave: Are you suggesting the APU1 is a good way to go for overall OBDI tuning and chip burning? If so, what else does one need to tune a 1227747? I have an old laptop with XP sp3. Will that do the trick? I would like to pick up another 1227747 that is already set up for flashing chips and I understand the APU1 is also good for the 8192 baud ECMs. I have no desire to go into later EFI. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Bob.
Don't force it, get a bigger hammer!
There are several options for the 1227747, the APU1 is likely the best bang for the $$$ because it will program the original 2732a chip used in a 1227747, data log using TunerPro RT and has an accessory channel for Wide Band O2 Tuning.
I posted a thread on converting the 1227747 to the 27SF512 Flash Chip: http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...rsion-(27SF512) Having a 1227747 with a flash chip conversion allows using the Moates.net Burn 2: http://www.moates.net/burn2-chip-pro....html?cPath=94
For data logging I use TunerPro RT, and an ALDL cable I purchased from http://www.aldlcable.com/products/aldlobd1u.asp

Instead of an ALDL cable you can also use an Arduino Uno: In so-called Tri-State Mode it acts as a serial to USB interface. I had one lying around so I used it instead of buying a cable.
The APU1 is required for '7747 WBO2, there is no other option I know off.
There is the option of upgrading the 1227747 to the 2nd generation TBI computer / PCM 16197427: http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...out-Directions!
Converting to the '7427 is the best option for $$'s!
You can make a '7747 to '7427 adapter harness like the this one: http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...s-135-Shipping

I've posted information on tuning the '7427 with WB02 here:http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...g)-Spreadsheet
A BURN2 is a programmer and nothing more. The APU1 HAS a programmer built in.
The BURN2 has nothing to do with using a WBO2 or not, since it only programs or reads (EE)PROMs.
If you want the easiest solution for emulation, datalogging and programming the APU1 is the way to go. There's no other option that will allow a WBO2 sensor to be datalogged in the '7747 datastream that I'm aware of. I don't even think there's an input that can be repurposed for such a use.
The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.
Well, G1 and G2 are ECM specific. The '7747 will use a G2. A ZIF socket is an add on that will work with either the G1 or G2. ZIF stands for "Zero Insertion Force", meaning that there's literally no pushing or force to get the EEPROM to seat. It uses a spring loaded lever to clamp each leg of the EEPROM. I only use ZIF sockets in applications where I think I will be swapping EEPROMs a lot, otherwise I opt for the better contact of the DIP socket.
