T56 swap VSS/ECM question
I am using Tunerpro v5 with $8d mask on a 7730 ecm with s_aujp_v41026 bin. I just finished a T56 swap and have an Autometer electronic programmable speedo. Calibrating the speedometer is fairly simple but my question is how do I tell the ecm how fast the vehicle is going? I noticed a vss pulses scalar at hex address 0x15 in Tunerpro and I'm pretty sure that needs to be changed however I'm not sure how many ppm the T56 vss is. I did a search and all I could find was the vss puts out 17 pulses per revolution. How is that converted to pulse per mile with 26" tire and 3.73 gears?

Re: T56 swap VSS/ECM question
if 17 PPR is correct....
17 * 3.73 = 63.41
26" tire makes 775.58 revolutions per mile.
63.41 * 775.58
=
49,179.5 pulses per mile.
17 * 3.73 = 63.41
26" tire makes 775.58 revolutions per mile.
63.41 * 775.58
=
49,179.5 pulses per mile.

correct. that will give the ECM the correct value to work with to create an accurate MPH value. since you're not using the 4K PPM signal from the ECM for the speedo, then you don't need to mess with the divisor stuff either.

Re: T56 swap VSS/ECM question
should you decide to swap tire sizes or the diff, i use this calculator all the time.

just multiply PPR by diff ratio by revolutions per mile.
