Scanmaster for TPI

Its not out yet but might be available durring the summer of 2003. If you guys don't know what it is its a scan tool that you mount on the dash and its 3-4 times smaller that a had held scantool and should take you 5 min to install. I use one in my GN and LOVE it. The make a verson for LS1 and LT1 engines. I think if we get enough interest they might speed up production. If anyone is interested in the features on the Scanmaster reply back.

Email Kevin at Ramchargers at kevinh@ramchargers.com to let you know if you are interested.

When its first started O2 voltage and Knock retard shows up


O2 voltage
MAF
IAC
TPS
Air Temp
Vehicle speed sensor (MPH)
BAttery voltage
RPM's
Block Learn
Injector pulse with
Spark advance
Cross counts
Intergrator
Malfunction codes
And much more depending on the program and the ECM. And all this with a puch of a little button. There is also a recall button to record runs but only O2's knock retard and max MPH.


This is the only scantool I use on the track and on the street. Many use BIG bulky hand helds and engine mangement systems with lap tops and I use this alot of us Turbo Buicks guys use this. And for less than $250.

Sounds neat. Can you log and then export the data into a computer later for looking at it in a spreadsheet?

No its very simple. Connection is three wires, power and ground and the data wire from the ALDL connector.

None of you guys see this yet? If you look in a few months back on GM Tech magazine there is a 4th gen with an install of the Scanmaster. Check this out but its the Turbo Buick version...... http://www.geocities.com/rad87gn/tech/scanmaster.html

Yeah I had a friend with a T-Type awhile back using one. It looked very useful.

If you guys really interested you guys need to e-mail Kevin @ ramchargers.com and let him know you guys are interested. Looks like so far nothing yet.

This what I use in my Buick right now but this will work for the third gen's. http://www.turbo-link.com/

I thought Ken said that he did not have a set up for the TPI cars?

Something new here?

Also I tried emailing Kevin at Kevin@ramchargers.com
and the email got returned. Is there a new address?

Thanks.
