i heard that the emanage doesnt work well with the 98, i heard that it is possible to flash the 98 to a 99 is this correct? if so how hard is it and what is the cost, also would there be any other complications that may occur from having this flashed. thanks reason why im askin is that my turbo kit is very close to finished and i was looking at going with the greddy, i know i could go with ms but i want to wait for a while, thanks for your help
Well the real differnce between the 98's and 99's are that the 99's don't have egr. Now all you would have to do is get a vin from a 99 car with your engine and copy the vin. Make sure its the same trans as yours. Call a few chevy dealerships and ask them if they will do it first. Some wouldn't do it for me, but I eventually found one. I think it was around $80
Blew it up
can some one please, tell me what all i need to get my ecu flashed to a 99 and what the differnce is, if any of you have flashed your 98 to a 99 please let ne know how it is doing, thanks
I thought the '98 and '99 were the same ECM. It didn't change 'til '00.
yah sorry, i looked but didnt find what i wanted, can you refere me to the post that you maid a while ago... thanks
Per some info in this post
ECU connectors The 97-99 ECU's are the same and it is a easy swap. Why not just swap a 99 ECU into your 98 car? Still with a VIN number of a 99 car like yours you should be able to get your ECU reflashed.
SunfighterGT's favorite phrase "Learn to use the search button..." Dude, seriously, you need to lighten up. That's all I ever see you post anymore is search this and search that. There's so many threads here after all these years, most of the things people are looking for are either too old and not archived, or they contain useless or not enough info. You could have at least posted a link to your 2 year old thread, if it's archived, that is.........
so you think its better to swap in a 99 ecu then have the caar flashed? can i not just get the 98 ecu flashed to a 99? im confused.
Has anyone tought about the injectors in the first place? They are different. Is you use the 99 ecm, you have a 50-50 chance of toasting your injectors. I said it so many time that it would be easy to find with the search button. Hell I saw about 4 damn post about the same ******* because people don't search.
99 had 2 style of injectors High and low. the 96-mid 99 had the low impedence and the mid 99+ had the high impedence. look in the performance forum, maintenance and noob forum. there's still some post floating around.

Great, so where's the link? It's a heck of alot easier to find threads you wrote, because you already know the title. Guess what, we don't. If you already did the work and brought up the link for a friend, it would have been nothing to paste it here on the side. Thanks for not being a prick though, really.
And BTW, your @!#$ stinks just as bad as the next guy's. Don't let yourself get T.O. syndrome (also known as Suncavi syndrome).
You think I search by post name? No - keywords. Do you memorize he titles of all your posts? I don't.
As for it being too hard to copy and paste... yeah it's just as hard for me to be a nice guy to copy and paste the link as it is for somebody to actually get up off their ass and search. They don't, so I don't.
I've been more than helpful enough over the last 6 years on this site... posting up the same answers gets tiring... so does people saying "I couldn't find it"... that's total horsecrap.
Call me what you want... but the information is right on this website.

Sorry guys but I'm with Chris on this one. He speak da truth
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
Don't get me wrong, I can see where you're coming from. Lord knows I've seen my share of posting the same dang things over and over. I blame it partially on the moderators for not noticing the pattern and making an appropriate sticky. BUT, even though I grow tired of posting links, if I know it's been awhile (like longer than 180 days) Then I know it's gonna be alot harder to find, so I'll post it again. That's not too much to ask, posting it up every 180 days if that's what it takes to help someone out. I mean, that's the purpose of gathering 30 thousand minds on one site, right? To help each other out with info sharing and have fun in the process.
Obviously, if someone has the info and simply does not post, they have the right to withhold that info if they chose. But to belittle the asker is a little unfair. I would suggest, that if you really don't feel like posting up the info that's asked for, simply don't post. If the asker feels that information is pertinant enough, He'll look hard enough to find it........
