    clutch position sensor on a swap vehicle?

    I'll be using a e38 computer with either a Camaro or Corvette manual-trans tune(haven't decided which yet). I want the best driveability I reasonably can, which calls for mounting a clutch position...

    Newbie question -- segments?

    Can someone point me to a resource that actually explains how segment swapping works? I'd prefer something in writing, instead of video format.

    When I license a tune, am I licensing the "main...
  3. Has ANYBODY been able to enable VVT on a non-VVT tune?

    A number of folks claim it's possible, but have never done it. Quite a few folks say it can't be done. Is there any verifiable situation where someone has enabled VVT where it didn't exist before?

    We removed the resistor from the circuit, and it didn't make any difference. When the resistor was in the circuit, the signal was very slightly cleaner. My brother said he's played around with...

    I cut the tail off the wall wart, verified polarity, and connected that to a car battery. Nothing changed.

    Is there any way to identify a dead e38?

    I've triple-checked my bench harness connections, and I still can't connect to the ECM with HPtuners Scanner or with a common obd2 reader. I'm getting power and ground to all the correct pins on the...

    Yeah, I probably am. I was just hoping I could pull a ground wire from the e38 connector, and connect a LED through that.

    I ordered the parts needed to make the bench harness. I've got a couple...

    Looking over the e38 pinouts, the "check engine" lamp caught my eye. Will this lamp stay illuminated the whole time the ignition is on but the engine is not running?

    e38 bench harness question

    I'm assembling a bench harness for my e38 ECM. I'd like to incorporate a LED to indicate when the ECM is powered on. It would be simple to just wire the LED into the power switch, but I'd rather if...

    #1, the APP is routinely swapped on these builds. The Corvette pedal fits the classic pickups a lot better than the stock Silverado pedals do, so folks routinely switch them. The APP is nothing but...

    Wikipedia and OnAllCylinders both list only two applications for the LMF. 2010-14 Express vans with AWD, and 2010-14 Savannah vans with AWD.

    What source are you looking at?

    Where can i find a "LMF" stock tune?

    Because of my manual transmission and several other...

    One application I have in mind would be 60 hp on a generator, and another would be about 120 on a pump.

  22. Can you run these engines on the rev limiter continuously?

    On a drive-by-wire engine, Gen 3 or 4, does it hurt to set the rev limiter relatively low(2k to 4k range), and then just block the throttle for all-day operation? Or is there a compromise in doing...
