Re: Hydrolic throw out bearing conversion concerns...

Holy resurrection, Batman! This may be old news, by now, but without rehashing the entire thread, I'll just state that I have been using a NVG-T550 (aka Cavalier Getrag) for several years now. Here's the scoop... The Fiero clutch has a higher assembled height from the flywheel friction surface of th...

Re: Anyone know how to run an E37 PCM as stand alone?

I have no idea, but I'm curious. I'd like to try the DOD/AFM version of the 3900... see if I can add 100 HP, 70 ftlbs of torque and top 30 mpg with a $500 engine. Be careful with the DOD version. I had forgotten that it even existed until I poked around a bit. They only sold it for a year or two, a...

Anyone know how to run an E37 PCM as stand alone?

As the title says... Does anyone here know how to make the E37 ECM forget about all the other modules that it likes to talk with? (BCM, ABS, TCM, etc., etc.) I have heard people allude to (on other CANBUS PCMs) just looping the CANBUS connections back on themselves, but I'm having a hard time believ...

Been a long time since I fooled with a Mopar. Used to have a couple of early 70s Barracudas. Back then, the hot ticket was a 340, or at least a pair of 340 (or 360) heads and intake. The 318 heads are supposed to be very restrictive. Probably now, I'd just do the 5.9 (360) Magnum. Personally, I like...

FWIW... The Tunercat package that I bought for my '01 4.3 Sonoma will also edit a 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and 8.1. They call the package "01-02 LS1 Truck". Period. This could potentially make my LS-whatever Sonoma swap a lot easier. BTW, There is a checkbox for "MT". Looks really simple. O...

Kind of hard to get a boat up on a Dynojet, anyway. :scratch:

Good luck, finishing your build.

What I'm wondering is, since the 3x00 ships with the square profile, would it be beneficial to keep that square profile if the aluminum heads were going to be used, instead of going with the staggered profile such as the 272 or the Crower. Just something to think about, before spending a bunch of mo...
