    Default RoadRunner guts kit?

    Does anybody know if the guts kit is different for the 512k to the 1024k pcm's? it doesnt give a option on Moats site when adding to cart unlike when you add to cart the pcm it gives a 512/1024k pcm difference. I am asking BC I have a 512k RR and I am wondering if I can take the guts out and just buy a header and put it in a 1024 pcm and have it work, instead of buying another RR since when I am done tuning my RR justs sits on the shelf, this way I could get more use out of it.

    Pretty sure there's no difference Joe.
    I asked this same question a while back.
    May be best to ask Craig Moates.

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

    The guts kit is the same, you can use it in either. I have 512 and 1meg PCM's that I use the same RR in. It works in both.

    so couldnt you just put the RR guts in a project box and have a ribbon cable attached comming out of multiple different pcm's and attach it to the RR guts in the project box??

    It will work in the 256K, 512K and 1024K....

    Can't run the wire out of the box, too far, must stay as CLOSE to the PCB as possible. Anything longer and you will run into timing errors and problems.

    I bought lots of the headers and have it setup for 4 different PCM's so far. Just mod a few PCM's up and swap the PCB as needed.

    What does this mean?
    The wire from the PCM to the laptop?
    Mine's around 5m long with no issues at all.

    What did you do for the usb cables? I didnt see those listed on moates site, I am going to pick up a few headers since it would be nice to have a 1024K RR and not have to buy and license another unit.

    another question, if the RR will work in 512 or 1024 pcm's will it work on different platforms like say I have a 01 Grand Prix with a 3.8 which is supported by TC, I wonder if I could install the RR in to that pcm and have it work?

    I just looked at the flash chip and it looks simmlar but it is turned 90 deg from what the truck one is, do I just run a ribbon cable to the RR or something?
