P01 to Run Holden Ecotec V6 Turbo

[Muncie]

Hi Everyone

Bit of a side project here have been developing a Ecotec/L67 in a VY Commodore Running it off a Stock Flash PCM that came in car its running well but i'm kind of at the limits of the PCM now i'd like ditch the MAF add drive by wire eventually and of Course the LS coils (May need to find a later PCM for all that) but have got my Hands on a P01 PCM to experiment with.

Plan will be to Adapt P01 into the Ecotec loom and run an extra loom initially for the extras that the P01 has then once the trial stage is done send those out and have complete new engine loom made by here in NZ (know a guy who does this work).

I'm a backyard engineer but i've worked on everything from Wastewater control systems to Aerospace projects for Nasa in past i'll give shit a go.

Things i have so Far:
- Spare v6 loom to butcher
-Ls Loom to cut up
-P01 PCM
-File to Make a 24x Reluctor wheel to be Adapted to Ecotec harmonic Balancer

All i need now is knowledge encouragement and everything i dont know yet, i'm sure this wont be that straight forward but i'll give it a go.

I'd be Keen to use Boost OS on the PCM too, if you want to direct me to links on here or to people who may be keen to contribute some info please direct to this post.

The biggest challenge is the code isn't there to run sequential. So you can run 6 cyl mode but you loose the sequential There are threads about this and a lot of time spent. There are people who claimed they have done it but I am not aware of any of it being proven running well. If you are OK with sequential then its easy enough to configure it for 6 cyl and do that.

Alternatively you could look at other American options for 6 cyl if you wanted cheap off the shelf (but with international delivery) but they don't have the same following so probably don't have the features you are looking for.

Other option is to stay with the stock the pcm and help us push enhanced further. It's not too hard to run ls1 coils on that PCM, but you will need to fabricate a basic interface circuit and keep the stock ignition modules. You'll get bigger spark but you wont get dwell control. Worth it? Yes. Ignition performance still on the table with a different PCM? Also yes. I am running this in my gemini with an 808 and so far so good. I don't have any more of the hardware but it should be possible to reproduce. That is mentioned here viewtopic.php?p=135623#p135623

There is also the MAP enhanced beta, that still hasn't been beta tested for years. If there was a way to test that you might be able to get that confirmed and working. That is here viewtopic.php?t=8392

I've got a stack of PCM's now theres a Eprom VT one and i've got a few bricked Flash units i could raid connections and make a PCM patch loom from to try in my car, i dont have a writer for Eproms though. I've been working on Spark cut for Flash using my own code and came up with similar Problems to v2.04 i've tried pushing Theone's code around a bit to try get it recovering quicker No dice there yet after a few months of coding testing in car etc.

Hence i thought i'd try LS PCM's as there appears to be more possible with them, i wasnt aware they wont run sequentially though.

VY V6 S/C is still memcal based, and can run on the VT computer. So you might me OK just to test it on what you have if you can put it on a PCM NVRAM or memcal.
