Just a new EPROM, the ECM is the same.

tilerob79 · 09-29-2008, 10:12 AM

hey 86 IROC i think ive got the private messages working now.
do you have the info on that redline place you were talking about?

86 IROC · 09-29-2008, 01:48 PM

Just sent you a PM, it went through this time.

theimpaler68 · 09-30-2008, 07:46 AM

thanks buddy! i just got my new oil pressure sending unit put in yesterday. my gauge hasnt worked in the almost 5 years i have had the car. but since the new engine went in had to fix it. still need basic tune up and tires. need to fine tune the timing as well. when i get the injectors which #age should i go with? my old ones are going into the 86 since it has a leaking inj. it will still be a while on the injectors just need to get pricing and stuff. i still will have to get tires 1st. i would like new but used for now may be the only answer.

86 IROC · 09-30-2008, 02:58 PM

Just get an EPROM for an 88' with the 5.7L if you want a stock chip. Otherwise, make sure it's a TPI car chip for an 88', and DL a BIN file from this site. Don't waste your money on a hypertech, JET, etc. They don't do much, basically they just throw a bunch of fuel and timing in @ WOT.

theimpaler68 · 10-01-2008, 07:34 AM

alright sounds good. still tweaking the timing alittle here alittle there. she is running good. need to get things (money) in order so that i can get a few things going.

It should run great with the base timing set around 12-13 degrees. Have you set the minimum air yet? Not sure if you're having any issues with idle, but that may help.

I'll be tearing into mine at the end of this month. I am slowly buying a few odds and ends for the other long block. (valve springs, gaskets, t-chain, HV oil pump)

theimpaler68 · 10-01-2008, 06:22 PM

now how do you go about setting the minimum air? i still need a timing light. but idle is good. i need eprom, injectors, plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor. i am just going to get the 24lbers. that way i can just get a stock chip. good luck with yours.

86 IROC · 10-01-2008, 06:41 PM

I'll PM you a link for setting min. air. Stock injector sizing is 22lbs, not 24 IIRC.

theimpaler68 · 10-01-2008, 06:45 PM

i looked for stock replacement injectors on summit and the 24lbs said no changes to stock computer required. so i figured that is what i assumed was the right one i will look again thank you

86 IROC · 10-01-2008, 06:50 PM

Hrmm... I have Ford 24# blue tops in my 91', it ran rich w/o the injector constant being reset.

theimpaler68 · 10-02-2008, 07:44 AM

well then... i think this will require a bit more research then on my part to make sure that i get the right injectors for a stock chip. thanks for all the help so far.

eightTfourTA · 10-02-2008, 04:40 PM

Thanks for the headsup, Kevin.

theimpaler68 · 10-02-2008, 06:19 PM

i am going sunday morning. still working 6 days a week. and i dont think that that is going to change any time soon. glad to hear you got a fender dave! i guess that means everyone has projects going. good to see your still around to kev! i really should stop over to jj's and get a sandwich sometime. and then go to gamestop after. there is still a firebird for sale on the corner of ridgewood and 3rd. i am sure that they would be willing to work something out for it now.

theimpaler68 · 10-06-2008, 07:55 AM

anyone looking for extra parts for their car dont forget i know a guy in port orange that has lots of parts for lots of different cars. he says you get a discount if you drop my name when you call or email. if you want to get a hold of him let me know.

tilerob79 · 10-06-2008, 04:01 PM

hey i was wondering if anyone can help me out, im in ormond beach.
i have a 1990 RS with a 305 TBI, and want to swap it out for a brand new L31 350 vortec, with the gm vortec intake tbi, and i need somebody locally to burn me a chip and tune the beast. i could buy the stuff i need for my laptop if someone could show me how to do it.
or if somebody knows anybody that does it themselves.
86IROC told me about redline, but i cant get in touch with them or seem to be able to fine anybody else in the area.
does anybody know anybody else.
any info would be greatly appreciated
thanks
rob

theimpaler68 · 10-07-2008, 09:51 PM

i will try and see if i can find out anything for you rob. i would think that with a little pc know how you could figure out the programming part. i have heard though that it takes several tries to get the desired results you want. give me a few days to ask around otherwise.

3rdGenWillie · 10-16-2008, 11:07 AM

dropping in to say hi. no new changes. econ sucks. anybody need some discount jewelry gifts this christmas, i could really use the business.

theimpaler68 · 10-16-2008, 09:08 PM

hey willie!!!!! long time buddy!!! i would help ya out a bit but still too many things needed for the cars. just had to buy a new ecm for the 86 and a battery for the 88. still have to get injectors. and 22# are stock for a 350 i did more research. need chip and plugs and wires and cap and rotor button and and and..... the list goes on. money is a hot commodity right now. everyone needs more and noone wants to get off it.

eightTfourTA · 10-17-2008, 04:46 PM

Hey guys, I was just over at the Deland Pull N' Save on Garfield Ave. They've got a couple cars there that may have some useful/hard to find stuff. '87 Trans Am with a complete non-a/c setup and foglights (the good ones seemed to be still with the extra bumper cover in the hatch) and there's an 82-ish Camaro with what seems to be a complete crossfire inj. setup, salvageable looking Lear Siegler Conteur seats that would just need a reupholstering (says "CAMARO" all over them), plus the fiberglass hood with the ram air slots. Most of the body panels looked good too, just thought i'd toss it out there incase anyone needed something.
Oh, incase anyone spots a good pair of those UQ7 performance sound speaker boxes, the ones that go in the sail panels and hold a 4x6" and a 5", please let me know, i'd like a pair of those. Getting tired of how these 6x9"s blare in my ears.

theimpaler68 · 10-18-2008, 09:14 PM

hey dave i happen to have the UQ7 boxes in the 88 and ill tell you one thing those boxes are never leaving my car. i wouldnt trade the sound quality for anything. i am also looking for another pair for th 86. the best place to look for those is on ebay. did you hoppen to see if that t/a had a hood one it and if it was nice? i will start looking for 2 pairs of those boxes though. i have infinity speakers in mine and omg i love them.
