Hey guys,
Several questions.
First the plan, I'm looking into setting up a Gen IV (or Gen III converted motor) on a test stand with an electronic transmission (a 6L50/80/90 variety) to test some things.
Now I know the new CAN system plugs a lot of things in, so I'm curious about a few things regarding the ECM.
First, can the E67 can be 'programmed/tuned' to run the engine and/or tranny stand only (i.e. out of the vehicle) to ignore all 'vehicle' modules?
Off hand I'm thinking the only thing I'll need to add to this test stand (besides obviously the engine sensors) will be an interchangeable 'pedal sensor' for throttle application. I'm thinking the VSS on the tranny should be enough input for the tranny to go through its cycles without issues.
Second, am I correct in thinking that to take a Gen III engine to a Gen IV (as far as the ECM is concerned) requires swapping out the 24X crank reluctor ring to a 58x and changing the 2x Cam Sprocket to a 4x?
