Anyone willing to share an E39 2011 Regal Turbo LHU engine cal file?

Can't wait to compare to E69 LNF file.

Thanks

It will be totally different. The calibration strategies Bosch use vs GM's own in house code (which is what the E39 runs) is totally different.
We are close to releasing another calibration update for the E39 that will have some important tables needed for overcoming the very strict torque limiting the E39 has.

I know the strategies are different, but the E39 looks like it offeres more options (i.e. Flex fuel and better boost control) than the stupid Bosch E69 ECM. I am investigating converting to the E39 for various LNF/LHU custom/retrofit vehicles instead of the E69.

I was looking for the E39 Turbo cal because I have not have a chance to TIS flash my service E39 yet.

the stupid Bosch E69 ECM.
You have a friend for life with that comment alone :hihi:
The difference will come down to the High Pressure pump control and injector firing between what the E39 can drive and what the Bosch uses.

Anyone have a copy of this file they'd be willing to share? I'd like to ditch my e69 pcm if possible...

Ditch it to what? You can't swap an E39 ECM in place of the E69.

This is a retrofit using the lnf engine so we'd just swap wiring harnesses, sensors, ecm etc. Just gauging if its even possible since I already have efilive and would like to stay away from the bosch stuff

You need to do some research on the difference between the injectors and the high pressure pump between the two engines (as I suggested in Post #4). Maybe a Motec would be a better option.

The high pressure pump is the same p/n between the two. Injectors are a different p/n but use the same wiring harness and externally look identical.

350SS
January 4th, 2012, 01:56 PM
It looks like they have different part numbers for the 2007-2009 vs 2010 up injectors and high pressure pump... Is this something that you know are incompatibile or just making a helpful suggestion? I don't know much about differences in the direct injection type injectors that are used in these applications. Any ideas on how to find out who they're manufactured by?

January 6th, 2012, 03:54 AM
hmmm, the catalog I looked in had a part number 12625764 for '08 cobalt ss :doh2:

maybe the new number superceeds this one?

What about the throttle, pedal, they will need to match as well.

350SS
January 6th, 2012, 09:51 AM
and need to make sure the crank/cam reluctors are the same... probably other things too which is why I wanted to take a look at the .bin file to see if it has enough potential for tuning over the bosch stuff. depending on how many drivetrain parts interchange maybe not :(

anyone have a file I can check out? didn't see one in the tune repository

So you guys don't do what I do? Go to a dealer for a test drive and then say "I am only buying this car if my personal laptop can communicate with it" :laugh: "that way I can upload songs and customize the dash"... I know I am a bit unorthodox. :lookaround: then when you are done, say "nope, not yet but let me update my stuff and check you in a couple weeks". I am an artist... :nuke:

I have looked at the their tunes and it all looks very familiar. I would definitely love to have one. As a matter of fact, they have the same exact engine as a Verano T.

Boost,

I tried reading it today with the latest version of V8 and I got an error message. Im going off of memory for the message but I believe it was 003$ or 033$

My first time using V8 so not sure what that means.

Boost
February 21st, 2013, 04:34 PM
Hmm, I'll have to look it up (or perhaps someone can chime in) but some guesses are:
-that particular one is unsupported - very unlikely
-you do not have the latest update - what build #s are you usinh?
-some glitch or fault?

Not sure if it's worth trying a read from V7? Pretty much everything works better in V8, especially the new stuff.

Is everything connected and powered up ok?

GMPX
February 21st, 2013, 05:01 PM
I would update everything to the releases here:
http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?21584-EFILive-Pre-Release-06
Update V8, V7 and the V2 firmware. There is no known problems with the E39 and those releases.

BTW Boost, V7 won't read or flash an E39 (or E78 as well). We stopped adding flash support to V7 for the new generation ECM's.

Boost
February 21st, 2013, 10:38 PM
Cool, yeah V8 is great and I use it for everything. There was one oddball glitch many versions ago where I had to use V7, I think for an LS1 issue.

But a 2011 Regal turbo should definitely work fine so let us know the results after updating.

Could it be that this is an E39A, and not yet supported?

Boost
February 22nd, 2013, 03:58 AM
Hmm, it could be - although I am not sure why they would change it if nothing else changed. The ATS and the Malibu have the new version of the 2.0T hence they probably have the E39A, and the Verano T have the "old" Regal turbo engine and I am not sure which E39. But all the Regals should be ok, unless it's just a new 2013 calibration that's not yet supported?


FYI, anyone who is interested, the E39A ECM read and flash is support in the next release candidate due any day now. This will get you sorted for any 2013+ SIDI application, though 2013 is a transition year, so some 2013 models will still use the older E39 and others the new E39A such as the 2013 XTS, ATS and Malibu. VTuner was brave enough to be the first test mule for the E39A beta update on he's ATS with good results too.
We had to spend a bit of time on this one, we needed to make sure there was no possible way someone could full flash an E39 tune in to an E39A (and vice versa), I found out what happens when you do that (E39 doorstops anyone?). GM do have a new part number for the E39A ECM with a new label too clearly stating 'E39A', plus the scary part, the connector pinouts are different, so don't ever get them mixed up, again, another doorstop results (as Ross notices he's BRAND NEW E39A is drawing 5 Amps, it didn't live more than 10 seconds!) :redface: .
Now all I need is Holden to offer the new 2.0L turbo like the ATS has in 'something' and I'll have my next car on order, unless the GenV hits the streets first.

GMPX
February 23rd, 2013, 08:54 AM
Yeah pretty sure even the 2013 Regal is still the 'old' E39.

This EFIlive I have (used to have another set up at another facility) is brand new, and the firmware that it came with was already 2.7.35, so it did not even need to update.

I went into BBX and it says 150% space required, and even if I unselect all the controlers I can not get it below 100%

February 26th, 2013, 09:14 AM
Ok, we checked the VIN you PM'd me and it looks like it is still using the original E39 ECM (not the E39A), so there shouldn't be any reason why it's not working for you.
I am suspicious of the firmware version still. What might be confusing is the firmware versions are kept the same when we do pre-releases, can you please do a quick check of the firmware date?
Just plug the V2 in, start up V8 Scan and Tune, then click on the 'Check Firmware' button, then look at what the date of the firmware is.

Ok, sorry, but I didn't get it right the first time, your ECM is one of the new E39A's, this is why it's not working.
The next update we post (might even be today) will allow you to read it out, I promise. Unfortunately your OS won't be mapped out though so you'll need to Email your file in once it's read.

Ok, that is cool. This is for my own personal car, so I am not in a time crunch......I just hate leaving anything stock, and would like to help some others who want to see the file from this car.

Any help in getting it mapped out and getting pointed in the right dirrection in changes will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the great support you have already given me.

Well in the mean time back to the Ford front. Have a gorgeous fox body (which trust me is a stretch for me to say about a fox) with a 5.0 Coyote in it that needs some dyno time.
