Staying tuned for part 2 man!! I have a '94 LT1 383 stroker Firebird that I'd like to get more familiar with reading codes and understanding how to tune.
Would love to see a part 2!! I found this first video very informative. Im rebuilding a 96 lt1 z28 and i swapped a 95 computer in it. Plan on putting this usefull info to work. Keep up the good content!
I’m down just looking for reliable definition files for my 95. Would love to hear you elaborate on this part..Tuner Pro’s site gives a link for newer/ better files on the “ee” definitions line but following that I don’t see a clearly labeled xdf or adx for my 95 Z28 auto. Forums are cluttered with a lot of outdated info.
ive tried installing Winflash but for some reason the application Icon just won't show up. it's installled but has no way to actually initiate the program even after uninstalling and reinstalling. windows 10. any ideas? i'm gonna keep trying but this is rather odd.
I wouldn’t call it bricking. You should always back up the original tune…. Also, remove the eeprom chip from the pcm board, dump and save the contents from the EEPROM as well. This way here if it “bricks” you can reload the data to your eeprom and you’re good to go.
Here is our situation: We have a 95 Firebird Formula 6 speed with a LT1 motor. We put in the 93 Corvette LT1 with a ZZ4 cam. The engine came complete from the engine builder with Opti Spark sealed, intake and fuel system installed. The Opti spark connect on the motor from the engine builder is the 95 style plug not the 93 Corvette plug. The car starts and idles but that’s about it. It has no power what’s so ever and during the initial test drive it made it about to the end of the block and died completely. What do we need to do to get the computer and the car to talk to each other with the new engine and the modifications to the engine. The computer does have a removable chip and a port in the car is a OB2 no a OB1 port. Would any of this work for us? Or would you know anyone that might have more info? Any help would be appreciated we have been struggling with this for a while now.
I don't think the opti plug changes anything since the 93 and 94 years share the same distributor despite having different computers. If you have a 94-95 computer in the car with a p/n ending in 051 then I would scan the car with an ALDL cable and laptop.
I’ve got an 94 fbody lt1, it’s a swap I used the painless harness so I ended up with a obd2 aldl connector. Will that moates cable work for me? It says for 95. I’ve changed the tire size parameters years ago when I built the car but I forgot most of what I learned, glad you posted this it’s a great help.
58mm wont flow like a 58 with a stock lt1 intake it will flow only as good as a 52mm because on the LT1 the intake air opening that the TB bolts too is 52mm you can port the intake opening to 58mm so it flows but most go with 52mm tb over stock 48mm cause of this.
A well known tuner told me the mystery timing degrees do not actually apply to the timing, you just see it in the data logger. Are you familiar with that? Seems no one has an answer on that as if it does or not.
Great video. I’m in the process of getting ready to tune my 97 SS. For the obd 1 conversion do I just get a pcm from a 95 and just plug it up in place of the obd2 pcm? Or is there some wiring involved? Thanks
For the fbodies, all you need to change is the knock sensor on the bottom of the block. The obd1 computer is plug and play, just make sure you're running it with a obd1 fbody knock module (chip in the computer) too.
I think it's time for PART 2!

Dont forget about us big dawg your a dying breed pass 9n the knowledge !!!SENPAI!!!
Cool man thanks. I’ve been messing with turnercats for a little bit. I have a 95 supercharged lt1. I appreciate the info you are sharing
Great tutorial my friend 👍. I'm definitely going to be using the tuner cats on my 94 Pontiac Trans am LT1.
Does this program remove speed limiter?
i have a 92 c4 what all do i need to be able to tune it for boost.
Still need part 2 lol

Got past vehicle information...but the step after I keep getting a pop something about couldn't communicate with pcm? Bad pcm?
This the same software as jet dynamic spectrum?
Why not the 1994 C4 Corvette is possible to tune?
Any links on converting to obd1? I hVe a 97 camaro
Can I use windows 7 on my laptop? My 94 Pontiac Trans am is an LT1 that's being heavily modified in the engine..
ok so i read the pcm and downloaded the bin file but when i try to open the bin file in tunerpro it says "file not found"..... im lost
It's not good when he doesn't reply to important questions.
Part 2?
Ditto on part 2… data logging tutorial would be cool.

SO how about pt2?
Thanks sir TH-cam training course

@@JunkRacecars So will converting back to OBD1 and getting this software and cable let us tell the car we have the ZZ4 cam in it?
Part 2 comming anytime soon?
Is there any programs I can use for obd2 computers like the one in my 97? I know your vid was 2 years ago but has anything came out?
Would it be possible to pay you for personal phone help with tuning
Are these soft wears apple friendly?
How do you tune a 94 corvette?
Hi man im just getting into tuneing so i went 2 the tp site not sure how much i need 2 download do i just load tp rt or more stuff?
So when is part 2 coming out?
Hopefully soon
Yes please!
@@JunkRacecars Very interesting. You say there is something special about the Corvette computer? Looking FWD to part II.
Great stuff can’t wait for more
why does the tuner pro shut down when I try to open the EE file?
I did it on my laptop it didn't recognize anything. I did the compatibility mode, and I used TunerCats just like the one here.
Is it possible to safe a bin-file with a Password?
What websites you find other tunes
I’ve got an 94 fbody lt1, it’s a swap I used the painless harness so I ended up with a obd2 aldl connector. Will that moates cable work for me? It says for 95. I’ve changed the tire size parameters years ago when I built the car but I forgot most of what I learned, glad you posted this it’s a great help.
Yes it will work. There are 2 varieties of the Moates cable, you'd want the 95 variant.
I need a laptop. What does the computer need to have to run these programs?
I’ve increased Throttle body to 58 mm And want to increase my mass air sensor how would you tell the computer you’ve done this
58mm wont flow like a 58 with a stock lt1 intake it will flow only as good as a 52mm because on the LT1 the intake air opening that the TB bolts too is 52mm you can port the intake opening to 58mm so it flows but most go with 52mm tb over stock 48mm cause of this.

Great video brother! Quick question did you need an ads file as well or should with just xds work? For a 95lt1
Just the XDF is all you need for tuning. The other file is for logging I believe, but I typically use Scan9495 or EEhack for that.
Where’s Part 2?
Great. Thanks for the video. Seems well worth $40 to me. ;)
What about fuel tables ???
Part 2👀
Does that work with 93 F-Body aswell or is there a specific software?
Yea does it for 93z28
Will this work on 1995 caprice classic lt1 with non electric fans
Yes but you still have one electric fan
If this won't work for the LT1 Corvette, what would I use? thanks
Ikr
fbodytech.com/eehack-2/eehack-features/
In fact it work with all OBD1 LT1 and has a lot of cool features including decent datalogging.
Late 2022, still waiting.... :)
I'll get to it when I get to it lol. Making vids is time consuming and I don't see a cent from YT. Been using that time to go racing instead.
We want more.. Neeeeed Input!!
Need infi for 96 lt1
Where is part 2 lol
Great video. I’m in the process of getting ready to tune my 97 SS. For the obd 1 conversion do I just get a pcm from a 95 and just plug it up in place of the obd2 pcm? Or is there some wiring involved? Thanks

Ok thanks. I really appreciate the help.
Q: Will Win7 work with C.A.T.S. and tunepro ?
I've used it before no problem but I'd run it in compatibility for xp just in case
I have Windows 7 pro on my laptop. This is good. Go #2
Hells yes
Will it work for a ls2?
No, LS is OBD2
Step one buy $800 worth of credits
Everything here is freeware
Can Anyone Help Us Please????🥲
does scan9495 only work on f bodys?
