if you get the gm reflash at least get a 2 bar map.

Your a 96 to be able to use a 2000+ OS for a GM reflash will take a lot of work. If you are up for it, it is better, but your goals do not really require it.

Now the OP has a 2000 car and ECU, so GM reflash is easy for him, and he should go that route.

Will someone that knows what they're talking about please help me (and probably some other people) with what I need to do to effiently run 12-14 psi on a built 96 LD9 Cav? I'll do whatever I need to do, but I need a little more direction is all. Reflash? MAP sensor? Use 00+ harness?

Does HPT have a way to eliminate the rear O2 signal? Going catless on the exhaust.

Sure, but its for off road use only.

Actually no.

You can however turn off the code from coming on.

With the GM reflash, you can only use a 2 bar MAP, right? And a cobalt ss one is 2.5, so wouldn't work?

With the GM LD9 reflash you typically use a 2 bar because that is what its setup to use, though it you're tuning you can really use whatever the hell you want. The Eco reflash is locked and designed to use the 2.5 bar tmap from the cobalt ss.

My plan was to finish breaking in this rebuild, then reflash and use HPT to scale back the injectors (80lb). Then use HPT to further tune everything as needed. If run with the 2.5bar map on the GM reflash, it would run leaner right? Which could be fixed with HPT? Or is the 2.5 just going to complicate everything and I should just stick with a 2 bar?

You would just have to remember that every map value is 1.25 times larger in real life than what the computer thinks. In all honesty that changes nothing in how you tune.

I hope you are either going to scale the injectors back first before breakin, or run a stock injector for break in. the 80's untuned will run really rich.

Why not run the 2 bar map, because the 2.5 bar map will require wiring because the plug is different.

551whp has been made on the LD9 GM reflash with the 2 bar map. I think your gaols will be no problem.

Its worth it if you make more than 15 pounds of boost. And there may be a product coming down the line which will be able to scale map sensor data in order to better utilize the tables built into the computer...

Not if you care about driveability.... Don't know about you, but my car is not a dyno queen and is actually driven..... With the reflash, the resolution is already cut in half....

Actually a dyno queen wouldnt really care about seeing the manifold pressure up there, heck a dyno queen thats never street driven could be tuned for a turbo on pure alpha-n and make the same power, but it would have to be re-tuned daily). Seeing it is more for part throttle boost, aka driveability. Though you would have to have a bit of a weird turbo setup to make over 15 psi at less than full throttle while still keeping the turbo in its efficiency range.

15psi is a great starting point, and more then capable to reach the HP levels he's aiming for (depending on engine and turbo).
No need in over complicating his setup, if its not needed. Start with a 2 bar and GM reflash. Use HPT to dial it in.

Where do you come up with this sh!t? And do you seriously believe it?

Break is thus far has been on stock injectors of course. Once my HPT arrives, then I'll put in the 80s and rescale them for the rest of the break in. Prob do the reflash then as well but stay out of boost. At least that way if I accidentally made boost when breaking it in and before its all tuned, at least there will be some extra fuel (with the reflash) 2 bar it is. I asked about the cobalt's map because that can be had for under $50. A 2-bar seems to be closer to $100. In the realm of things though, that extra $50 isn't much.

Back to the O2 sensor and HTP real quick. When you say HTP can stop the code from coming on, do you mean just the CEL won't come on, but it will still see the P code, or would the ECU not even know there is an issue and trigger a P code to be stored? (In other words would still pass emissions)

It will pass plug in emissions test.

To stop any CELs from being triggered from the second O2 sensor, I would just uncheck all of the DTCs that have anything with "H02S bank 1, sensor 2" in the name, right?
