i got this info from calling down to godfather customs in georgia. This is how they custom tune PCM/ECM's that have no current programming salutions.

they also told me that they make their own calibrations by duplicating your stock cali, then save that to a file, erase your computer, make changes to the cali they saved, save the changes as seperet file incase they cant get it to calibrate right they can return it to stock.

 

how does this help us there is no tuning availible for our cars

 

good point

 

if you click each link it tells you how to copy your ECM/PCM and make your own calibrations. The programs used here let you custom addjust what ever you want to your PCM. look at it this way, you will want to copy the original PCM calibrations because if you jack up custom tuning you will have to reload the stock calibration. They do recomend letting a shop that knows how to custom tune a computer to do it because it is easy to mess up the programing.

 

It's not a problem of adjusting the computer. It's because the computers in our cars in encoded. And therefore you cant read it to tune it. Once the encription is broken then thats a whole new story.

 

could we get an ecu from an ss and put it on our 2.2 and use hp tuners to change it to our needs??? just wondering. i cant remember if its been gone over before.

 

no, the VIN numbers in the .BIN file are not matching so it wouldnt work, plus the ss's dont have the option for an automatic trany so the ECU would fuber bad when looking for the manual trany

 

i miss the old days, no ecm's = easy tuning. but the ones you can tune it does make it easy. taking the computer bs out all together would still be my #1 vote

now that i think of it, can a gm tech change the vin on an ecm if we grease the wheels?? or can they do it at all? a guy i know works as a tech at the dealership i take my car to i was wondering if he could change it

 

you could do it, GM racing team has done it for Connely, i think thats his name, i have it linked up in my myspace page. anyway, that cobalt is all stand alone everything, twin charged, running 6.69x @205.x MPH and beat out 2 new body GTO's that ran matching 6.71x times in the 1/4. the artical has Pro Stock in the title.

 

Well, of course GM has the capability to do it! They made the damn thing!

 

the race team can do it but can they do it at the dealerships? or hell even he they can tune my ecm for me and i dont need hp tuners. incidently the dealerships name is connell

 

not the same the car is Connoly

GM put out a build guide on how to take your 2.2L ecotec to 1400 hp. if you have the cash then go for it but it wont be street leagl when you are done

 

i own this build guide
enjoy the pics

 

Theres absolutely no way to tune your car, just give up for now, you'll have to wait until HPTuners breaks our ECM. Stop trying to search for some false hope, noone can tune our cars yet
