LS9 is coming! Engine Pictures!

[Redline Motorsports]

We'll as if the E38 hasn't been fun enough....................GM's new bad boy LS9 is getting close to being a reality!

Anyone know which PCM will be supporting it? I have seen some interesting tables in the E38 that looks like they are boost friendly........

Let the feast begin!:master:

Cool pics Howard!

She will be fun...but I think I will be playing with that intercooler a bit. Looks like some room for improvement. ;)

I suspect it will be the E67, it already runs all the GM boosted motors.

Yup, that's what my sources tell me too... I thought the E38 was GM's premium product (cause it's in the VETTE;) )

But, no....apparently, the E67 is going to be the controller of choice.....

No, the E38 is the midrange controller, E67 is the premium controller, that is why it's used on the "Premium V8" being the Northstar ;) What will be interesting is if the entire Corvette range will change to the E67 to commonise the wiring harnesses etc.

I still don't know why GM jerks around with all these different PCM's. What is the major difference between E38 and E67 from a hardware perspective?

More inputs and outputs basically, hence the 3rd plug, remember, it's all about saving a couple of bucks per car. But then again, why would a G6 have an E67 and the Z06 have an E38? Apart from the plugs, the CPU 'core' is the same, it's not like it's totally different.

Hey Howard,

A friend sent me this screensaver link.

Too funny, if the E67 is the premium controller, then why do they put it in HHR's and Cobalts?

Jim, as I was informed the other day on this (because I could never figure it out!), because the E67 still has a ClassII VPW communications line, the E38 does not, so if other modules in the vehicle need ClassII then the E67 needs to be used.

Interesting, I was meaning to ask you that Ross, could the P12 or E67 communicate on a 02 OBDII bus?

Yeah, that's what I meant.... I was under the impression that the Corvette was a premium vehicle.:bash:

But, I guess I should switch to tuning more caddies!

[hquick]

Yet...the 2009.5 G8 uses the E38.

Yes both can, just the E38 has no ClassII bus.
BTW, shoot me an Email to remind me about the E67 file you wanted.

Done Ross, and thanks!

(I hope I sent it to the right place...)

The E38 may not be able to do class 2 VPW directly but the BCM acts as a gateway between CAN and VPW modules for certain things. And there's a lot of non emissions/non-engine control stuff going on the class 2 bus in a C6!

Hey Howard! I was at the GM ASSEMBLY PLANT today and I actually touched a new ZR1!

I begged the engineers to let me download the tune...to no avail....:rippedhand:

I'm going back tomorrow to try again!
Chuck CoW


p.s. HA! HA! I touched one before you did!

[joecar]

Hey Chuck, cool... :cheers: ...you're having too much fun tripping around the countryside... :cheers:

[Redline Motorsports]

Chuck,

Don't come back until you get the CAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

HT

[powertrippin]

Too bad you can not get the cal with the flashscan alone but maybe a bribe of pizza and beer might help lol

Just need to spy the ECM Chuck, 2 plugs or 3 plugs?
You could always tell them you want to download the tune to start working on a better one than the factory offers :mrgreen:
