I am anxiously awaiting HPT's support for the 08' LE5.

Question is.....

I have an 08 Malibu....will the ECM be the same as a colbalts, excluding the part where its attached to the VIN and such.

My arguement is, that when the 08' colbalts are supported, the malibu is supported.

Right or Wrong?

 

The 08 Cobalt uses the E37 ECM. What does the Malibu use?

The E37 ECM is supported by Vector and LS2 Edit, but not supported by HP Tuners, EFILive or Trifecta.

Also even if HPT does support The E37 ECM your Malibu might have a differnt OS.

 

My thinking is that the OS wouldnt be diffrent i.e. $$$$$ cost. What would be so different for the malibu, the 4T4E auto is geared differently I belive because I drove a LE5 in a Colbalt SS/Sport and it was not as peppy as the malibu, which I attribute to gearing. I could be wrong.

I'll make some calls

 

Same could have been said about the E67 in the Ion's and cobalts then. When I first stating useing HPT they had never seen the OS for both an 06 and 07 Ion LE5.

 

Correct, we were the first company offering tuning for the E37 in general and just added 2009 support as well.
