I found this article in the June 2000 issue of Hot Rod magazine. ITs a great article for anybody who wishes to learn more about their Tuned Port Injection....including tuning, how the ecm uses the sensors...etc etc. I put it on my Yahoo briefcase because on here it says its too big....so try it and see if it works...thanks and enjoy...

TPI tuning article....

Great post! I'm going to have to try this. Thanks.

KYL98 · 10-02-2003, 11:22 PM

Glad you guys like it. It REALLY helped me to understand exactly how the TPI system works......

Magman · 10-27-2003, 01:43 AM

Thanks KYL98, great article.

bigals87z28 · 10-27-2003, 01:50 AM

to anyone else looking for more info, i found a great book. its called TPI Swappers Guide. It has a maintance break down of error codes along with tons of other great info. You can get it on amazon for like 15 I think. I payed near 20 for it at barns.

Magman · 10-27-2003, 02:15 AM

Thanks BigAl. I just ordered the book, $13 and some change.

I got that book ...tis a good one ......tells the seceret of the 640 ohm resistor

slohand · 10-27-2003, 05:28 PM

boy i hope i dont get nailed but........

i thougt about downloadeding this after much trial and error and printing it out. did that sound ok?

anyway, i understand that this is how you would do it for those who are interested.

save the info on you computer and then use a program for printing pictures out. start the program...something like 'picture it' and then call up the file and you should be able to print it out.

i understand it must be a picture program, word or any of the others should cut off part of the material. only a program to print out picutres will work.

just be sure to remind everyone that you are just thinking about doing it.

ya'll have fun ya heeya!

What page is that on? They are 22 lbs

llvll4l2c91350 · 11-10-2003, 05:07 PM

page 7, top right hand side

KYL98 · 11-11-2003, 08:51 AM

I thought they were 22lbs also....but it sure does say that. Must be a typo. When you look into the L98 .bin it shows 22lb for a injector flow rate......hmmm

Yes it will work, but don't forget that your L03 heads and cam are just as much of a problem as the TBI if not more so. Don't expect a big difference unless you change them too.

Thanks for the article link and the book link guys. It's much appreciated.

DriftaGMCamaro · 11-20-2003, 01:22 PM

so where can I get the cams and heads?

NastyL98_T/A · 11-23-2003, 07:50 PM

Sweeeeeet! Thanx!

BTW, what's the casting number for the junk 305 heads? How abou the high output (TPI ) heads?

tpiroc · 11-26-2003, 04:30 PM

Yeah, I gotta post a big 'ol "thank you" too; Now I gotta rummage through the archives and find that issue! Exactly a year after that issue I got my Camaro, holy CRAP that would've been handy 2 years ago

IROC_5796 · 12-22-2003, 07:57 PM

i started reading that write up when i realized i have the same magazine at home and have already read it 30 times, lol very good write up and very informative. I came across that magazine at a library and the librarian just gave it too me.

Dark Man C · 01-15-2004, 09:29 PM

Firebreather · 01-21-2004, 12:17 PM

Nice article! I'll have to go to the dyno to set my fuel pressure right.

Axe · 03-03-2004, 05:06 PM
