Can we upgrade our old pcm on the Cobalt SS/SC to the newer e67 pcm to use with the dashawk?

 

the ecm style is the same as the ls4 and ls2 cars/trucks. it's something inside the ecm that is different. say, the interal programing.

 

can it be changed or altered to mimic that of the Cobalt ss/sc. has anyone done it.

 

No, it can't be done. If you somehow found one that has the same type of crank sensor, it wouldn't communicate with the other modules such as the power steering and BCM. Its the same reason nobody has run a stand alone engine management setup on a streetable car.

 

i think the costs of buying a new ecm, a dash hawk, and hptuners. or something to reprgram the ecm itself with the cobalt map is a bit extreme. there are other factors in the system. such as the CAN style itself. sure you can change the ecm, but the other costs and factors you have to add into it, just simply outweighs the original idea.

 

then can we conver the old one to can compatible.

 

No. You can't change the communications protocols on stock PCMs.

 

just buy a dual interceptor setup if u want to monitor 4 parameters. Or a single if you want to monitor 2

changing an entire ems system to run a gauge is a very foolish thing to do

 

there must be a way to get this done under a grand.

 

What are you trying to get done? An entire EMS swap?

 

i know about the interceptors. But having dashawk molded in your dashboard i think would look better then a interceptor gauge anyday. Plus i think they look like ****.



Just trying to make something new for my ride. Thats all. Money's no problem.

 

I can't believe all this work just to use a Dash Hawk

 

not for a dashawk. Just something thats different.

Thats what hot rodding is all about. To do something different then the other guy.

 

Ok, the reason the Dashhawk won't work is because of the protocol used by the PCM to communicate with other modules on the car's network. If you do anything to alter this setup, you will lose at least power steering, air bags, gauge clusters, ABS and other features I'm probably fogetting.

You would also be looking at the cost of a few grand just to buy a standalone, wiring harness and everything else you would need, which probably wouldn't work with a Dashhawk anyways not to mention what this would all cost in labor and tuning.

 

Im not trying to be a ***** about it. Just questions i have that if it cant be done then it cant be just trying to cover all the basics.

Why cant we start with the 2.4 ss ecm. Its basicly the same car just the supercharger.

 

Ok.

While you're at it, swap in a computer that is capable of controlling the toaster oven that will be in your glove box so you can cook up some dope ass grilled cheese samiches while you're running 10s in the 1/4 mile.

 

dude seriously its guys like you that cant answere a question. So you revert back to child like conversation.

If they said the same thing to whoever invented something then your ass wouldnt have a car.

 

thats my next mod

grilled cheese for the effin win!

if you want to watch what your car is doing. you can spend the money for two interceptors. or get hpt and a fancy laptop.

the 2.4 and 2.0 are TWO DIFFERENT CARS

 

how are they different.

 

huh? LOL

I don't have a car?

me = confussed

 

the signals from the sensors are different, the crank sensor is different. the ecm, and wiring, and sensors are different, they are read different, and this in a nutshell. will not work.

to be nice, all this work is pointless. by the time you get this to work right, is the time i stick a blow through turbo/carb setup on my car.

 

OK thanks for the info.

 

You're welcome

(lawl)

 

you can thank yourself for being a dick.

 

I was only joking with you...you're such a sensitive susan.

I didn't say anything technical cause Witt and Area47 did it for me already.
