Info for modified ECM's

[TurboBob]

As many know, I modify the ECM's for peak and hold drivers. I use the correct 2.5 amp drivers for the 2 ohm injectors (55's, 72's, 75's, etc.)

Over the years, I have seen many kinds of "reman", "rebuilt", whatever ECM's from many sources. The quality of these units has been poor.

I believe its getting worse as time goes on, as these units are so old that they are lowest priority among the ECM repair outfits.

If you want to get an ECM modified, please do the following:

Get a good, non-remanned ECM. The one from your car is best, since you know its history. You can also get one from various "recyclers" that post here on the board. Get one with no water damage tio the connector, "pretty ones" actually seem to be the best ones.

Make sure it runs, drive it around a little.

THEN send it.....

Questions......?

How can you tell if an ECM has been remanufactured?

Thanks!

From the outside: odd stickers of different sorts, case repaint, etc.

I have seen some problems with the reman ECM's from the parts stores like Checkers...AutoZone...etc but what about the remans from GM...I bought a GM reman a few years ago and have used it a couple of times...seems to work OK...just wondering what you've seen with those ECM's...also once an ECM has been modded for say 72lb injectors does it need any additional mods to work with 83lb injectors...

 

[TurboBob]

no additional mods needed going from 72's to 83's....

I have seen a few official Delco remans, they were ok.

I do the mods for the ME-R. All this work is scheduled thru Steve Y. When you order your ME-R, you set up to get the MAP mod done with him.
