LD8 (VIN Y) PCM info

Post by Corrosive_23 »

Hey, what's up guys!
I got some questions for ya'll...

First, I would like to know where I could buy a PCM for cheap.
Second, do you guys know if the LD8 pcm's software is stored on a EPROM?
Third, Can I use any type of Hex viewers to view the good stuff?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have any info on if it's possible to view the data on these PCM's. It's kinda weird because everyone has the mindset it can't be programmed and no one bothers to dig up info, yet several companies can program it. If I had the time and money I would start learning about how it's done, but sadly I don't.

I only found one company in Canada that claims that he can tune the pcm. Do you have any links?

Read around my other threads and you'll find a few more. There's one in new york and a third but I can't think where they are.

The guy in Canada claimed to have hacked the PCM to allow mods but he never had a car to test it on. This was a couple years ago.
