z-ya Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 There are many different stand alone systems available. Search the web, and do the research. What about using the OEM computer? I'm using a Wolf 3D computer on my turbo L28, and I had great luck with it. The SDS is also a very popular system. And don't forget electromotive. The lsit goes on and on.....

fl327 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 i would go with a painless efi harness, then chip the ecu if you are going for big hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Use the OEM PCM, wire it in yourself (it's not brain surgery), and give it fuel and 12V and off you go! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 some efi companies have specific applications for lt1.easy way would be a painless harness and use a pre obd2 ecm.if you look on the chevy forums there is a software /cable kit that lets you reprogram the ecm with a laptop.i did a lt1 in a early nova and had tpis modify the ecm.the vats(anti theft) and egr systems were removed from the ecm.

BLKMGK Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Use the OEM ECU and look at something like LT1 Edit to modify the programming. In fact I think that GM may even make a harness and ECU just for swaps. Unless you're going to be heavily modifying the motor a fully programmable EMS is a waste as you'll spend a TON of time trying to get things like drivability perfect when the OEMs have already done the job for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudge Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 94-95 much easier to work with, and cheaper, as far as electronics go. 93 would be another choice, but requires PROM burning equipment, using a 94-95 harness or figuring it out yourself is possible. 96-97 is OBD II and costs $550 to program at home last time I checked, and has more diagnostics codes, including a crank position sensor which does not allow for using a double roller chain (easily), yada yada. I own a 94, 95 is considered the "perfect year" because of these niceties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
