ok, another think...when i modify the MEMCAL with a ZIF socket, and everything function properly, will the V6 limp-home network have an influence? or will this become only active, when theres a chip failure? e.g. chip not correct, sth..
if this works, this would be a nice alternative to the known piggyback adapters...
would be interesting....
thank you |
You should get a complete MEMCAL for a V8.
The MEMCAL contains the following:
o EPROM for SW and calibration (27C128 or 27C256 depending on code you run as "base" - eg: stock configuration, no emulation or expander/multical memory IC)
o Resistor NETRES ICs (2) that run spark and fueling if the EPROM fails
o Knock Thickfilm assembly for EST control with knock sensor
A V6 MEMCAL ha these items as well, BUT, they are NOT configured for a V8.
In fact, the MEMCALs for a 5.0L TPI are different than a 5.7L due to the Knock Thickfilm assembly (frequency tuning of the knock sensor)
So my recommendation is to go to GMPARTSDIRECT and buy a correct base V8 MEMCAL for your application, and then remove the EPROM and socket it for the emulator or for replaceable EPROMs.
BTW....If its NOT a SBC, then pick your V8 MEMCAL based on closest bore size of your engine.....
