    SD question

    So both options allow the user to eliminate the MAF and manipulate the fuel and timing. The Dynamic actually replaces the eprom with flash memory where the SD2 chip data is altered with the PL, correct? Does anyone know of any big pros and cons of either system? I'm not trying to start an...

    SD question

    I see a lot of threads on here about the SD chips but I don't see much on the dynamic EBL system. What are the differences between the two? From my reading they both look to do the same thing. FYI just looking for information.

    detonation at low boost

    I have not. That will be the first step it getting the car back in good running order. Have been really busy but hopefully will be able to get on it this week. I dug out my FP gauge to verify correct FP once I fill up with fresh fuel.

    detonation at low boost

    I thought about having the injectors cleaned. Is there a preferred source for that? I live in NE GA, a local source would be convenient.

    detonation at low boost

    Thanks for the replies. I will start with fresh gas and see if that makes any difference. I've disconnected my FP gauge so I'll have to get it back out and monitor the FP the see if that is OK. I'll look into a "modern" chip, the mystery chip was purchased from a local TB club I belonged to...

    detonation at low boost

    The gauge I am currently using is boost only, I think I have an old gauge that read vacuum.

    detonation at low boost

    I am running an autometer, large liquid filled, not sure of the # As for the chip, maybe swap back to the stock one for a base line? I am guessing it has a very conservative timing curve? On the scan tool, it is an older one used by mechanics, just plugs into the aldl. I purchased a...

    detonation at low boost

    Hi, I am the owner of an '86 GN that I have had since '88. It has pretty much been in storage with limited miles put on it for the last 15 years. I have tried to keep up with oil changes and added sta-bil to the fuel to try and prevent any bad issues from the storage. My problem is that when I...

    Direct scan adapter

    I just acquired an old Toshiba laptop to use with my Direct scan. After connecting to the ecm it appears that I need the adapter that is mentioned on the DS website. Does anyone know where I can get one of those? Is it just an adapter that changes the pinout of the cable? Could one be made?

    GM nos style bumper fillers

    I have arrived at the time to replace the factory bumper fillers on my '86 GN. I am excited about what looks to be a great aftermarket solution for the problem of dead factory filler pieces. My greatest concern is how well these new fillers will "age". I understand it is a new type of...

    Grill Filler color

    Thanks for the reply, I think the black will look better as well. Might be different if this was a 100 point resto but it is just a nice play car.

    Going Megasquirt

    I have been following this thread as the MS is really interesting and getting rid of the eprom ecm seems like it would open up a world of possibilities. I don't know that much about how the MS is put together but if the adapter to the buick wiring harness is available how much work would it be...

    Grill Filler color

    I am replacing the front bumper on my '86 GN and the original grill filler was missing. I have one from a donor bumper but I don't know what color it is supposed to be. The replacement is silver but I don't think that would look right on the GN. Any help appreciated.

    Going Megasquirt

    Has there been any mention of a pnp being offered from diyautotune? I've seen that if ten people are interested and put up a deposit then one can be developed. I may be wrong on some of the details but it looks interesting.
