That's in HPTuners, right?

Yes.

your work is awesome, Paul; as exhausted as that statement is, it is still sincerely meant. Thx for sharing; you have saved people countless hours of possibly unsolveable problems! Reach around and give yourself a big pat on the back!

I think it took longer for me to read it than for you to DO it; you work so quickly!

Several items:
Will you be listing any 'items' for this swap and if so, when do you think you might do that?
Having said the above - and with the caveat that most people won't have your problem-solving capability (no offense, anyone!) what do you think would be on that list?
I am hoping the flywheel and starter mount will be coming along and pls put me on the list for those items. I will need them. Others you offer will be a bonus.

My question is moving more toward the tuning/ECM side of things now - from my ignorant perception at the moment - what can be done about custom tuning to reflect what you have found out? Is this 'packageable' in any fashion?

Did you have any previous experience with HP Tuners, others or any ECM tuning? (kind of thinking no... ) how long did it take to climb the learning curve (days weeks months)? Was it intuitive? Is there a possibility of your getting involved in other's projects in this area?

Very curious about the mystery project; when do we find out what it is? ;-)

Thanks ongoing!
GP

Now back to the SBC/F23 swap.




When you come up for air... just curious if there is any update on the flywheel or other special items that you developed for the LS4/F40 swap. I think you have a lot on your plate right now, so whenever!!

Great thread and an encylopedia set worth of knowledge! Thanks for sharing so much, especially those details that can take so long!

Thanks!

Not much has changed in regards to the relocation. I am still living in a 1 br apartment in IL and will be there until I buy a house. I have reviewed every available house within 35 miles of the plant that has the following criteria:
3 BR/2 BA
2000+ sq-ft or larger
Basement (wife doesn't like tornados)
2 car attached garage
1 acre lot
Outbuilding or ability to build an outbuilding

So far, there isn't a properly on the market that would work for my wife and I, so now we are just waiting for the right property to come on the market...

I haven't done anything Fiero related (besides drive the LS4/F40 car) since the end of October and don't think I will get back to any real work until March 2015 at the earliest. The update on my website says June, 2015, but I am hoping it happens much sooner than that. Once I find/buy the house, then the challenge is moving all the shop related equipment 300+ miles and getting it setup... all while moving the household stuff and getting it setup to my wife's standards. When I relocated from IL to KY in 2006, I had less shop equipment and didn't do anything but drive my Fiero for a little over a year. I am hoping it doesn't take that long this time... time will tell.

On the rare occasions I am back in KY, my priority is spending time with my family (they are staying in KY until we buy a house) and working to prep the house so we can list it in Feb 2015. I am not doing any Fiero work for customers until I have everything moved/relocated/setup in IL.

Yup! You have a lot on your plate! Very understandable!
And getting the kids into a new school... always more fun; and oh, yeah - tornadoes! Moving is just SSOOOO much fun....
Thanks for the dates, it helps me plan and I have tons to do so you aren't exactly 'holding me up' in any way ;-)
Guess that 'dream shop' didn't work out - that's too bad! Would be the envy of every PFF viewer (me included) when you posted pix!!

Look forward to your updates on what you find for a new home - I'm sure it will reflect your attention to detail and be really nice. In the meantime an early Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and yours; I hope you get a good break and can enjoy friends and family.

Does the E40 have a "crank trigger resolution" flag or something similar which allows it to run with a 58x wheel?
Some of the late '90's V6 PCM's that Eric is looking at have a flag that sets the crank trigger interpretation to 3800 style, 60 degree 7x style or Shortstar 24x style... Just wondering about whether anything like that was retained in the E40.

There isn't one on the LS2 E40 calibrations, or if there is it isn't visible by HP Tuners. Every thread I have read about compatibility between 24x and 58x either says you must match the ECM to the engine or buy the Lingenfelter converter box http://www.lingenfelter.com...de=C163#.VLSS8FTnbDd

Ahh... ok. Thanks. I was wondering how "familial" the software was between the two systems and how much of the software library carried over. I guess not much.

what year LS2's used the E40 and which were 24x/58x? I have some software that compares bin files on the code level that will tell us just how different they are.
