I would hope so.

 

Ok Pete, I am going to be a lil blunt when I say this but dont take it as a attack, just trying to help

You are putting yourself into the exact same place you where before. The reason your D died was lack of tuning. The blue box is ok but it is what killed your car. It killed the power you where making, and it eventally it killed the engine. The chip is going to do the same exact thing. It is not going to be base gsr maps, it wil be some bs pre manufactored tune by a company that has not had your car to see how the tune affects it. You need to either get a stock ecu for the engine or you need to get the P28 chipped with something you and/or a local tuner can tune. No way around it, I know that you know this so it makes me wonder why you are going this route. And I am not saying it will blow up off the bat or anything but I am saying it just will not benefit you as much as real tuning or a stock ecu.

 

Yea, I know what youre saying.....my swap came with the GSR ECU, but the guys at the shop were saying skunk2 makes a good program for it. Im going to call skunk2 tomorrow and see exactly what theyre doing to the ECU......hopefully theyll just chip it, then I can drive to Jeff Evans and have him play with it for a little.

 

OH, and believe it or not, the oil pump on the D took a dump, thats why the engine fried. I thought it was the blue box, but rob figured it out, and it was lack of lubrication. I hate it when that happens lol.

 

F'n sweet man! I cant wait to see it. Oddly you and I are in a race to get our cars back. Mine should be done late this week too!



Was the oil pump stock? Why did it fail?

 

No idea, but there was definetly lack of oiling in the D engine.
