Translator Pro.....it's here!!!

[DonnieShort]

Look what was waiting for me when I got home Boy I can't wait to get this wired in, speed density here I come!!!

 

[John Wilde]

Cool, let us know how it goes!

 

[PaCemkr86]

please keep us posted, im wantin one of those badly !

 

[DonnieShort]

I sure will. It's gonna take a little while to get wired up, but shouldn't be too bad. I'm waiting to get my ECM and chip back from Bob. I'll have it up and running when that gets here next week. It gives me time to figure where to mount it. Man this thing is nice!

Yea let us know how the wiring goes...I'm really interested in it but not too happy with having to splice everything in...I know plug-n-play would be more expensive but I'd be willing to pay more for that...

It's not going to be that bad. You only have to cut a couple of wires, the rest just tap into the ECM harness. Hardest part is trying to figure a place to mount it. I've got some ideas, but will have to experiment.

What are you going to use to "tap" in to the ECM, can you give me the exact name of the tools? thanks

 

[JP87GN]

Does the control module go inside or in the engine compartment?

The TPro wiring harness taps into the ECM harness like the way your BstC taps into the harness. The functions that the TPro actually takes control of or modifies, i.e. the maf and such, the wires are cut. Then you wire the cut wires to the TPro harness. If you've ever installed a BstC and/or Translator Plus you will know what I mean ( usless you had a plug and play adapter)

JP87GN- the module goes inside the car.

Definitely keep us up to date on this. With the new turbo that's going on the T, I would rather just do away with the MAF alltogether to lose the inlet restriction. Looks kinda doofy going from a 4" inlet to 3.5" MAF pipe, then to a 3" SS MAF. TPro would mean going to a 4" pipe and no inlet restriction.....moooorreeee ppoooowwwweeerrrrrr.......arrrr, arrrr, arrrr....Sorry, had a Tim Allen/HI flashback...... :biggrin:

Donnie, your stuff goes out on Monday.

The Pro can live in the glove compartment, that's where mine is.

The installation is very easy. There really isn't a need for a plug-and-play setup.

Mike just installed a 4" inlet PT61 in his new T-Type and it makes insane power, I'll let him post his results.

[Slo86GN]

That's what I have.....new GT6152s....4" inlet, 2.5" outlet. Hopefully Mike will post up with his results. I'm definitely swaying towards the Pro if for no other reason than to lose to inlet restriction of the MAF.

 

[TurboBob]

I have a PT6152E, it spools FAST with the Pro's boost control on. We are still getting Mikes car dialed in, but he's running a stock torque converter and says he probably won't need to change it..... !!

Sounds great! What was the trouble causing the code 34? I'm building a nice trick mount for my TPro, I'll send you some pics of it when I get it done. It should completed by tomorrow night or Monday night. It should look pretty tough!

Nice......I have a Pat's 12" L/U 3200 stall waiting to go in, so I bet spoolup would be just insane with the Pro's BC. Add in I also have PTE FMIC and ported heads also going on, spoolup would be obnoxiously quick at the least.... :biggrin:

 

[Tony87gn]

I have a Bstc that I have not installed yet. I ordered the Maftpro so I have no use for the Bstc right? I can just use the Maftpro?

 

[BuickMike]

Would the Translator Pro be beneficial to someone like me with minor mods?

That is right.
