  • Which Donor Computer for an '02 3100

    Greetings,

    I'm in the pre-swap stage of stuffing an '02 3100 engine into a 4x4 with a manual transmission. Initially, I was planning on building and running a MegaSquirt computer, but after reading some posts here, I may go for an old computer and wiring harness.

    Which donor vehicles would you guys recommend for pulling a computer and wiring harness (I'm a lazy bastard so the easiest would be preferable). Also, it would be preferable to pull a computer that I can purchase a pre-programmed chip for to run a stock '02 3100 engine without EGR that doesn't require swapping out the fuel injectors.

    I've heard that the 1227727/7730 from manual xmission vehicles are easily reprogrammed, but want to make sure there it's easy to do without spending a lot of cash on re-tuning. If there's a lot of tuning involved, I'd rather do a Megasquirt (I'm a cheap bastard too!)

    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    I did some searching and Googling and think I'll go for a donor computer and wiring harness from an early 90s Lumina, Grand Prix, Cutlass, or Regal. Looking for a 1227727 ECU from a manual xmission car. I may pull the fuel rails and injectors if I can't find a pre-programmed memcal to work with the 02 3100 injectors.

    Does anyone know if there is a site out there that allows people to exchange bin files?

      Oddly enough, we kind of do...

        Is there a section for it on the board, or is it just communication with other members? If there's a dedicated area, I apologize for missing it.

          Nevermind. I'm blind sometimes I guess...
