Is that a 411 PCM?
the connectors dont look like the ones used in F bBodies

 

It is a repinned 411 to connect to an LT1 harness.

Instead of repinning the harness, they change the connectors on the PCM to make it plug and play...pretty slick.

 

Yeah, it is slick and it is nice to se someone puttin effort into the LT1. I just wonder what happens if 3-4 years from now you need a new PCM and Torqhead is no longer around. How does one go about repinning the PCM? I am not hating or anything, just throwing that out there. With the original 24x conversion, you just use any 411 PCM.

 

Well I guess you'd just have to get a regular pcm and a efi connection harness.. Everything else you'll have already..

 

What efi connection harness? You have to repin your existing harness or buy a ready made harness for $$$$.

 

So eliminate this problem by repinning your existing harness to start with. BP sells a nice DIY harness kit. with a pinout sheet

 

I dont have that problem, I repinned my harness and used the EFI 24x. What is the advantage to the Torqhead over the EFI Conn setup is what I am asking. And if the advantage is that its cheaper, then that advantage is eliminated if in a few years these modified PCMs are not available and you need one.

Again, I am just trying to make sure I have all of the answers, I am not trying to imply the setup is not good.

 

The PCM is fully warranted he will be updating his site shortly with current information.

The chance of PCM failure is very slight and shouldn't be a concern with the kit.

 

Any updates on how the install is going?

 

Def looks like a nice kit, I will be upgrading to this one day shortly. Wish I saw this before my recent opti replacement lol

 

Just finished the LS3 swap on my '95 Impala.

After gears on my SS and my 95' Impala, the 96 Impala gets this . Maybe about a year out......

KW

 

so is this made possible by using original tuning software? or does it piggy back the LS software with the ability to use HP Tuners?

 

It is an LS1 PCM, so will need LS1 software.

 

Do you want to sell it

 

Any pics of this kit installed yet?

 

This setup looks to be very slick. I like that it eliminates the need for the 96-97 timing cover. A plug-and-play setup is always welcomed.

 

Any update on this?

 

Here is mine in its current state...

 

Since the TH website has no info on HOW the cam sensor picks up signal, I assume it's similar to the OEM Optispark? Meaning an optical disc?

I'm also hesitant about the now customized 411 PCM and how they got into it to re-solder connections.

What was your reasoning going with the TH setup over the proven EFI setup?

 

Price was my main reasoning. only $1400 for this kit ready to roll besides a tune. I have a 94, so I would need a new 97 timing cover for the EFI kit plus the kit, harness, coils, plug wires etc. This comes with everything even the coils mounted on brackets and plug wires, plus I don't have to re-pin a harness or spend the $800 for an already made one and have to put it in. Mainly price, but also the fact that its a complete kit and the ease of installation.
