Reverse engineering the maps is showing promise, but we have some variables in the bench test setup that we must eliminate. Digital replication of the input signals is fine for development but we can't be confident of any results unless the correct real world inputs and outputs are connected.
Thus the above contraption is about to travel from it's home town to us here in Oz and be retrofitted to run a proper flywheel trigger setup and generate vacuum and boost pressure, while firing actual spark plugs etc. Essentially a desktop engine dyno.
The 01 EZ69 we have here is not yet confirmed as functioning properly and there is a chance it is unhappy with the dummy ignition coil load we are using on the bench or it has a faulty temp sensor input, either way it is 7-10 degrees retarded from where it should be when above 2500 rpm.
So, fingers crossed connecting a proper 965 ignition system might pull it out of safe mode and we can move forward.
Chances of our module having a preloaded factory map -- maybe 50/50 at best
Let the weird futility continue
