Best tuning program that includes E-trans?

**b1jetmech** · 08-03-2011, 08:03 AM

I'm looking into getting a tuning program for my 94' Suburban. I've been playing "musical engines" engines. Swapped out the bad 350 for a 6.4 diesel. Got rid of the diesel for a TBI 305 out of 92 Caprice and it runs good to my surprise. Currently, the trans is a 700R4 but will eventually upgrade to a 4l80e in the next few months. Already got the trans and other parts to do the conversion.

I like Dynamic EFI but their program doesn't support e-trans. I checked tunercat but can't seem find a transmission support.

Any ideals which would be a tuner program that supports E-trans?

TunerProRT can be used to do what you want with the correct definitions, once you get the hang of it.

Tunerpro can handle transmission functions? That's great. It sures very inexpensive but wonder if the ECM needs to be modified for RT using tunerpro.

Yes tunerpro works good with electronic transmissions. I've got a 4L60E running on the 4L60E code. Aside from shift points and TCC lockup changes there were only two tables to change and two DTCs to disable to make it work. You can add and change virtually anything within the .BIN so long as you can find the correct addresses in the Hack. OBD1 is a pain in the ass but the ability to make code changes and comb through the hack and find things within the code you normally wouldn't have access to makes it so much nicer than EFI live. Just comparing here, not saying EFI live works with OBD1 because it doesn't. I have both and tunerpro is free and way handy and EFI live was 800 bucks and I'm still not sure it was worth it.

When I swap in the 4l80e, would it be best to get a bin with the 80e already in there and mess with the engine programing? Or wouls it be better to get a prom from a small block/4l80e truck and start with that?

I don't think you'll find a stock 93-95 PCM for sbc+4l80e...

I have a recent thread with the necessary changes documented to use an 80e with $0d (search $0d_maf+4l80e). Otherwise you need a $0e or $31 bin, but the bins on moates.net are all for the 454+4l80e so you'd have to adjust it to make the engine run correctly. Pick your poison, either way requires some tinkering.

PLENTY of TBI G30 Vans had the TBI 350 and the 4L80E, STOCK. Besides all you need is a V8 Memcal and a Moates Memcal adapter, a Moates Burn1, and some flash chips. I can go through my .BIN library and get you a stock 350/4L80E calibration. I have even created a 305/4L80E one for a past project.

^yup.

Unless you are going to run a huge cam, or boost/nitrous, you don't need EBL. The stock 16197427 will do anything you need. That is what I use for a 383/4L80E. Do some searching on the '7427 here, or on Thirdgen.org. Lots of info, and capability with that PCM.

I just remembered some 3/4 ton Suburbans and trucks with 14 semi float rear ends have small block/4l80e combo.

Can I PM you sometime for the 305/4l80e .BIN sometime? I would like to get my 4l80e sometime in the next month after I get done with the mods to my 305.
