how are the pins seated in the connector? are they able to be extracted? I didn't look at the PCM plugs closely enough when I did my swap to see what sort of pins they used.

Any newer laptop will be able to run it, nothing special would be needed.

The pins are soldered to the board, unfortunately.

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!
Are you going to run this with a USB or a DB9 port? I'm having trouble running a DB9 adapter from my Tec3 to my laptop.

I'll take a look at what I got, and the 50 million connector catalogs at work, see if I can come up with something.

Shifted, you are a god amoungst men.
i know this has been covered but the way it was worded confused the hell outta me.

my motor is goin back in my GT in May and this would be an absolute jem to have. you got my attention, and apon release, my money.

Hey Shifted,
Did you need any money from us folks to keep this project going forward. I am down to throw $5 bucks your way. I know its not much but if a bunch of folks do it... It could add up rather quickly. If that is cool with you then hook us up with your PayPal email address.

Very interesting project. Hopefully the wife will let me experiment when you release the working model.
I'm getting tired of waiting for Diablo to come out with a handheld, and don't have the time to deal with HP right now.
shifted, shifted, he's our man..if he can't do it........uhh...someone else will have to pick up the slack
naah i'm just kiddin, hope all is well with the prototyping/building.
how's the new house? spacious with 3 car garage and hydrolic lift for workin on the car.....oh god i would love one of those.
Its all still coming along, just taking a little longer to get some of the schematics done. I work with electronics and circuits all day long, but I've never done a PCB so I'm learning how to make the traces, all about isolation and bus widths, board layout, etc.

Sweet! So what is the new ETA? Any guestimation on price. I need to know how much to save.
One last concern, will this unit be set up in such a manner that when I take it in for emissions testing and they plug the car into the OBD2 port will my car still say that it is a 04 cavalier and have my vin? I can tune it to pass the emissions but I dont know what I would need to do to trick the emissions computer if this new VCM is not OBD2 compliant.
Purhaps that question is too soon to be asked. Either way the NM emissions computers look for the cars year, make, model, RPM, and any check engine lights. The rest is done with the sniffer.
Thank you.
