    FYI - gearheads aren't supposed to ever deal with an engine less than 8 cylinders. 8)

    Guys,

    Are you sure the ECOTEC uses the E40?.
    Some notes posted (edited) from a web site -

    "GMPT Model Year 2004 Warren (E40) program Model Year 2004 V8 Engine Controller".

    "GMPT MY2006 E38 Engine Controller Program, It is targeted for a variety of applications for passenger cars and trucks. It will work with 4, 5, 6, and 8 cylinder engine applications".

    Looks like the E38 will be the universal controller, yes the E40 will run in 4cyl mode but perhaps only when in DOD mode.

    As for the LS1 PCM, I suspect the problem would be the crank/cam trigger signals not being a match. If it were so universal GM would have the same PCM for the 4cyl engines and the 3800V6, of course they do not.

    Cheers,
    Ross

    That could be useful if you're looking to make a big air compressor. :lol:

    Sorry it is NOT an E40, but a P12 used AFAIK only on the supercharged ECOTECs

    So I know THEY can be used in speed density or MAF, but figured it might take a couple years to sort out the code for remapping, rev/speed limiters, DTC masking etc etc, so was looking if the PCM used with the LS1 could been used in a 4cyl manner, or not.

    Not too concerned at this point about the potential ignition issues as we can create pretty much any crank wheel required (4X for HVS based (2000 LD truck or even the asymetrical 24X for COP etc)

    At this point just attempting to determine if it's viable of if we should be just focussing on reprogramming the P12 or aftermarket standalone such as the MOTEC.
    Thanks

    People need to start putting a foot down to the younger generation. Imagine what sissy cars the ricers of today will be driving in 30 years. :o

    It's called better gearheads through education. 8)

    Well I guess it could be a P5 not an E40
    Anyone know how to tell the difference?

    It will either be stamped in the case or on a label.

    I thought it was more like "real gearheads don't let friends do FWD..."
