I have a deal on an ECOTEC engine from a 2007 Cobalt. The engine is a 2.2 liter and it comes with the entire harness and ECM.

This will be used for an engine swap and I was wondering if you all could please tell me:

1. is this an L61 ECOTEC?

2. will HP Tuners be able to 'read' the ECM? What about making engine tunes? Will that work? I looked at the HP Tuners site and was confused because they don't specifically show a 2007 Cobalt with 2.2 engine.

Sure hope somebody can help me... Thanks guys!

 

hpt doesnt support the 2.2. ive already tried to get mine tuned by hpt.

 

yes to 1. No to 2.

 

Trifecta can tune the 2.2

 

Can you self tune with trifecta? Or does Vince have to send you a tune to upload every time? I literally know nothing about it obviously. I understand HPT, but not Trifecta.

 

Thanks guys. This is not what I wanted to hear... OH well.

OK - let me ask this question then:

Is there a special ECM that will indeed run the L61 and is compatible with HP Tuners? I have no problem changing the wiring. I've been reading of folks modifying L61's - what ECM do they use?

thanks again!

 

we tune our ecu with trifecta, it data logs the engines performance and then a specific tune can be written for that car with all of its supporting mods, for the L61 it has shown to be Extremely effective

 

i thought HPT was available now for the 08's ?

 

my tuner had a standalone on his 2.2 i thing the name was big stuff?

 

LS2Edit from carputing is your answer for HPt type tuning is in the same price range from what ive heard its very similar and is 07+ compatible.
