    T87 Swaps

    Had an Allison transmission guru hit me up last week about making a T87 communicate with E38 and E67 ECMs. Seems people are into sticking the 8spd behind cranked up LS gassers. And while the T87 is used to control other transmissions beside the Allison, it's only compatible with 2016 and up...

    A50 TCM Inspection

    Powered up this TCM on the bench. I don't know the history. Has no codes, so left it powered up for an hour, monitoring the raw canbus data for anything unusual. Seems functional. What else can I check before tossing it up for sale? Stick it in an oven? And what's the deal with this funky VIN...

    L5P Weakest Links

    Had a customer hit me up recently about possibly marinizing an L5P. Looking for a solid 750hp setup for use in a lightweight pleasure craft. After considering the cost of bullet proofing a LBZ/LMM to hold 800hp for 1000hrs, I had to consider that maybe it's time to finally test waters with the...

Since I bricked 2 - V2 Autocal's within 10 minutes a couple weeks ago, would anyone like to places bets on how long a new...

    L5P - ECM Swapping Options

    I'm gonna toss this here since it's currently a technical study. But hopefully this helps with stand alone and engine swaps going forward. So please add anything of value along those lines. Last year I had the change to check out some "stand alone" L5P's being controlled by E35 ECM's. When GM...

    FLIR / Thermal Imager

    Played with one of these Snap-On thermal imaging units a year ago, and fell in love with it. So kept watching eBay for a good deal, and picked up one used for under $400 last week. Several affordable FLIR camera styles on the market now, some that just connect to a cell phone. And for under...

    Cold start tuning for big injectors without glow plugs

    Need some advice with cold starts / no glow plug setup tuning tips. Getting these puppies to fire up in a 50-60 deg shop first time is a real pain. With the 200% over sticks, I've finally got them firing up and holding a good idle on first try once they have a little heat in em. But when...

    LMM (NQG) Tune VS Standard

    As most of you know I prefer the E35B over the E35A ECM for stand alone swaps. And I thought I knew it pretty well, until I started looking to assign some normally unused signal lines for other uses. That's when I stumbled onto a pinnout difference between two build version under the same LMM...

    Mechanical Oil Pressure Adapter

    Purchased one of these while back, then spent an hour searching for the part # again. So posting it here. If you have an LML blocks, then your aware the oil pressure sensor and block thread is different from previous models. In my applications I run LMM wiring, with LMM oil pressure sensor in...

    Crank / Cam Signal Emulator

    Built this cool little Arduino project I found online a while back to generate E38 ECU data. https://www.facebook.com/ardustim/ It basically allows you to generate a matching 5v crank and cam PWM signal of any common wheel types. It has a couple 60-2 crank wheel options like modern LS built...

    500HP Marine on Danville Dyno

    Big shout out to Mark, Dave, Larry, and rest of the crew over at Danville Performance for a great past Friday on their engine dyno. Needed an exact HP@RPM figure on a customers marinized Duramax to supply his jet pump manufacture. Engine is setup for higher RPM longevity, and nowhere near...

    Digital MAF Scaling

    Working on a way to run dual digital MAF units on a E35B. Basically taking two MAF sensor signals and combine those values into a single output with a total fed to ECM. To do this, I plan to use the new style [and cheaper] GM 15865791 MAF. Some guys over on a Corvette Forum thread mapped out...

    -6AN Turbo Supply Mod

    Since I'm on a AN kick this week, decided to post this on up for review. Needed 2 turbo supply lines off block. Rather than pull off the oiling main ports with 4AN lines, I just modified the PPE remote filter adapters. Welded a -6AN bung to it, now not robbing a main bearing supply. Wasn't...

    -8AN CP3 Pump Fittings

    Needed a way to not only increase line size feeding a 12mm stroker pump, but also change direction of the standard inlet to fit a custom intake. I had originally planned to harline into the fuel inlet. But that proved hopeless. After a little digging, I found where the pump threads are 12mm x...

    VSS Input on Standalone LBZ/LMM

    Did this one a while back on a LLY but had never tested on LBZ/LMM until tonight. The E35A/B series ECM will accept a single wire square wave pulse signal for vehicle speed just like the LB7/LLY. So you can use any GPS/acceleratometer or other pulse signal generator with square wave pattern in...

    Worst Hosed Injector Videos

    Ok here is one for fun. What's the worst messed up common rail injector you've ever seen? I encountered one the other day that made me stop the truck I was driving on side of the road and call a friend to pull me home. Soon as I got there I connected the SnapOn to it and started it up again...
