RE: ECM calibrations for upgraded Xfire



Bruce,
 
I hope this finds you doing well. I have made some progress with the DIS on my typhoon that I would like to share and maybe get some feedback from you. If you feel this would be better on list let me know. I have bought the prom pac for the 3.1L Turbo Pontiac Grad Prix and have been using it in the typhoon with pretty good success. It runs much better and the sporadic miss that has plagued me from the start of this project has disappeared, and also the fact if the ecm ever went into limp home mode the motor would not run has been resolved because of the prom pac also. Just some more information on this project. I have been moving values around to try and find the ve tables and not found the correct area yet, dont worry I dont plan on giving up. Looks like the DIS project does work, just it is not a plug and play if you want all the stuff to work, especially limp home mode!!
 
I also found out some interesting interactions between different bins and the prom pac that is plugged into the ECM. I have been tuning a friends 78 3/4 Ton 4X4 Chevy truck that we have installed a small block 400 that have been bored over with a camero 90 TPI and a paxton blower onto, will have pictures if you would like. I been tuning for the past couple of days. I decided to try a 90 Vette bin ( ANHT ) with the camero prom pac and all worked except the blm cell would go to 4 and never move no matter where the throttle and or RPM were set. Did not get a chance to trouble shoot, just wanted to get the truck drivable switched back to the camero bin and all was well. During one of the bin changes I accidentally changed the bit for the cylinder type ( TPI ) and when we started the truck get error 41 ( I may be wrong , was cylinder select error though ) I did not know the prom pac and the bin interacted. This has been such a great learning experience.... gotta go meeting in about 10 minutes. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
 

Regards

Gorden

Turn off that awful script / coloring.
I've run a 13.7 with a cross fire.
Try reading tuning docs (at the FTP), and programming 101.
For a combo like that, you'll need to do your own chip, and just start with a stock one or what ever ya bought from them.
Some major (yet non critical) intake porting needs done

Hi,
 
I am new to your forum but it was strongly suggested by a member of the Xfire forum that I join.
I recently "upgraded" my 84 Vette Xfire with a Comp Cam hyd roller 211/218 degree with .488/495 lift at 112 degree lobe separation. I also upgraded the heads to the new
Trick Flow 23 degree aluminum heads. Also have upgraded ECM and TBI units to Turbo City
systems ie 7747 ECM. I also have Extrude Honed manifold. On a 95 degree day, car ran a 14.3 at 99.7mph and pulled 253 hp@4600rpm/307 lbft@4200rpm at the rear wheels on chassis dyno. This was with stock configuration chip. I am interested in knowing if anyone has a bin file for a combination similar to this. I don't doubt that knock Sensor was causing  retard of timing since power went south after 4600rpm. I have a Needhams EMP-10 burner  and would be interested in mainly suggested fuel and timing calibrations. I believe it is running slightly rich especially at cold idle strartup and would also like to address dis/engagement of 4+3 OD unit at higher speeds.
 
Thanks for your help,
 
Dominic
