Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
found this during the week might give some insight to how the networks joint together inside of some memcals at least

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
Knowing how the resistors are mapped internally would make it possible to measure all the values in a standard netres by measuring between the right 2 points at the end of each of them. Good stuff

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
Need to make up one of them memcal boards with resistor pads could fill it with variable resistors and tune limp mode or even run low rpm stationary engines with no tune lol

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
I have one of them from crow cams for a V8, never really done much with it but it has heaps of resistors on it!
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
Cutting pin 12, will give you the 7.5k between pin 3 (ground) and pin 13.
Edit:
I think I miss understood the original post. Pin 10 is a ground, so you'd need to add a 7.5k resistor between pin 10 and pin 13 going by the image.
But this will still give you 22.5k on pin 12, when I test a factory V8 memcal, it's open circuit between pin 3 and pin 12, so I think the correct way to do it would be to cut/lift pin 12.

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
The actual value is not critical, its just a voltage divider that the ECU hardware reads on pin 13. A V8 needs to read 0 volts, either via some value resistor to ground or just a jumper.
Cutting pin 13 and adding a ground link from pin 10 to 13 is one option, or just cut pin 12 if it was a V6 memcal converting to V8.
If you are using 12P it will tell you the memcal type once running so you can confirm it is working as expected.

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
Must say that I'm a little proud of myself, and indebted to you gentlemen again. Today I took a 1994 TBI 5.7 memcal and cut pin 12, and then soldered a 7.5 ohm resistor across 3 to 13 and it worked. My thoughts are that the ESC unit should work for the $8D TPI that are both 5.7?
Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
Assuming the bore sizes are the same and ESC is enabled in your bin (and your memcal doesn't have a knock filter) - yes, the ESC box should work.MrWillys wrote: My thoughts are that the ESC unit should work for the $8D TPI that are both 5.7?
Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
If I've understood this correctly, your 7.5 ohm (should be 7.5k) resistor is redundant, but no problem, the job is done (for cylinder selection).MrWillys wrote:Must say that I'm a little proud of myself, and indebted to you gentlemen again.

Re: Convert V6 Netres To V8
Here in the US they built trucks with 5.7's and a 4" bore, but were TBI. The TPI's were all Camaro's and Corvette's with the same 4" bore 5.7. I still plan on running some datalogs to view operation of the ESC.festy wrote:Assuming the bore sizes are the same and ESC is enabled in your bin (and your memcal doesn't have a knock filter) - yes, the ESC box should work.MrWillys wrote: My thoughts are that the ESC unit should work for the $8D TPI that are both 5.7?
