I was wondering if the mass air flow sensor and the throtle position sensor on our engines use the same signal and ECU codes as the Cavy 2.2L ecotec. I found a piggy back that modifys those 2 signals to change the fuel maps in the ECU for timing advancing at 25% throtle angle and greater. I might buy it and try and see if it works if not, i can just give it to my girl she has a cavy 2.2L ecotec.

 

sounds promising, keep us updated please

 

if you want to research it the link is http://www.importperformance.com/venom/400.html and this other one gets you to the ordering page http://www.importperformance.com/store/V45-215. pretty good info on it. its by Venom so its not some fluke company. They claim that it increases power by 25%. i figure that a cat back gives you 10hp on avg. air intake gives you about 10hp on avg. and a budy says that the stage 1 cam from turbotechracing and his ported and polished head combined gave him another 20hp. with these mods and the Venom PCM of 25% increase i came up with 231.7 bhp

 

oh forgot to mention that if you go to www.venom-performance.com (click on products) they have a replacement T6061 almuminum CNC machined intake manifold that is direct bolt on and replacement for our plastic intake manifold (looks really nice) . but its $1300. they also have that venom PCM on there but i couldnt find a price or order info so i looked it up at a distributars page.

here is a pic of the intake manifold. looks sooo much better then the GMPP replacement

 

i just thought of something else, if this PCM does work. this would be the answer to HPtuners not having a tune for us yet. but i doubt it will work. we will see though

 

Wow, That manifold just screams DIRECT PORT NITROUS.

However I still think the GMPP itake manifold is better. Tapered log style manifold with short runners. Pretty much equal volume of airflow between cylinders, plus the shorter runners are going to increase the top end of the RPM. Your gonna lose some torque with the gmpp down low, but it should more then make up for it above 5000 r's.

 

$1,300 for that manifold....make it about $400 and I'd consider it.....just for looks

 

you know w/ the gmpp intake manifold you have to cut out part of the cross bar between the headlights for clearnce right. not to mention that when i looked up the gmpp manifold it was 1130 at gmpartsdirect.com

 

well i talked it over w/ my girl. i have the go ahead to buy the PCM. I'll be ordering it friday and it should be here monday or tuesday next week. I'll keep you guys up dated on the out come.

edit here

found a site that has it cheaper then the other one $308 w/ free shipping

well, i found out that those 2 sensors are different from the cavy and GM used updated software to program the ECU's. so its a no go. so in stead i placed my order for an ecotec 2.2L rebuilt head and taking it to get ported and polished, and also orderd comp cams stage 1. at least i've seen these on an LS already so i know they work, lol. sorry guys. maybe later down the road ill give the Greedy stand alone system a try
