If you're going to do a conversion, spend the bucks and go Dynamic EFI. The gains are so very worth the cost.


I think I may have a converted 747 somewhere that has the edgecard adapter already installed.

David,



The ECM for the 82 and the 84 Xfire motors is not very well documented. Most
who modded the Xfire motor

converted over to a 7747 or similar ECM which is thoroughly hacked. May want to consider doing that conversion. You can buy a 7747 ECM for about 50bucks
and the tuning software is very inexpensive. The $42 def file is readily
available. You would need to buy a HAM, which is adapts the 7747 pin
connectors to the edge card type connection on the Xfire ECM harness. For
real tuning flexibility get the EBL ECM from dynamicefi.com

Dave I just signed up for the software and don't know how to use it yet.
However what type of fuel injection was on the 1982 corvette? I didn't know
they were fuel injected in 1982.  My self I'm running a holley instead of
the factory TBI and that one has an  idle adjustment screw located on the
throttle.  To set the idle the IAC must be disconnected then the engine
started put in gear if it's an automatic, set the idle to your desired RPM
then shut off, plug in the IAC then restart it.  I believe the idle is set
in the chip if it's  factory.  I'm not sure.

Hello,



I've been looking at buying the TunerPro to make some adjustments to my
stock 1982 Corvette to make it run better.  My mechanic and I were finally
able to work out most of the problems by adjusting the location of a few
sensors.  We hope that the final piece of the puzzle will be to raise the
idle speed approximately 100 RPM. From what I've read this likely won't be
too difficult a task.  However since this may be the only adjustment that
may need to be made via the computer I was wondering if there was someone on
the list who has made a similar change or would be interested in making an
EPROM for me.



Thank you,



David
