Thread: 97 l67 IFR values same?

Anyone know why 97gtp pcm has a flat IFR value across the board like an NA? Only year it's like that. 98 up l67s have a slopped IFR. Would it be benifical in putting slopped IFR values in a 97 that is being tuned for a turbo?

its the evolution of the hardware/OS as GM went through obd1/1.5/2

the v6 vehicles didn't need as much work to get to pass emissions and didn't get the R&D time that the v8 cars did for mpg/emissions.

the slight change in njector flow rate due to its "perceived" pressure differential (fuel press vs manifold) wasn't as important as them sorting out the 4t65e's drivability

I can only imagine what their breadboards looked like as they went through the major pcm hardware upgrades in just 4 years

Would it hurt/help to put the slopped IFR of later models in a 97 for a turbo build? Or stick with flat value even for 80lbs injectors?

I would say to experiment, and see if things change, it may not on a stock car, on a moded it may. though im partial to the 98/99 as being the best pcm/system before the damned Enhanced EOBD2 of the 00+

the 96/97 "obd2" sure seems like and OBD1.5 with refinements and without all the damn Com issues now that the knock system was integral in a "zit"

Hahah agreed...use the 98 all the time...first time working with a 97....you can take a 98 pcm and out it in a 97 can you..lol?

you have to repin the coonectors but that's just playing around for a little while

fun game

iirc ive read you need to swap a few pins around in the pcm plugs to use a 98 pcm.

^ late for bingo

Might be worth it to get rid of this mega pcm..lol

theres a ninja round these parts ya know lol

don't get me wrong, the 97 has its place. its one of the best upgrades for the older OBD1.5 stuff
