Bringing TBI and Multi Port Fuel Injection to a New Level.

EBL Flash System

Pricing:

$350 US (self-install)
$430 US (including ECM and installation. Ready to go)
$455 US (inlcuding ECM, installation and Port Mod for MPFI set ups. Ready to go. Specify cylinder count: 6 or 8)

The EBL Flash does away with the burning and swapping of chips. On-board flash is programmed with the What's Up Display. No more swapping chips, no more ECM on the floor of the vehicle. Put the ECM back into place under the dash (or seat, or kick panel or wherever it is intended to be). Then flash and data log a new calibration right from the same cable via the What's Up Display program.

The EBL Flash includes the BIN, What's Up Display, end cover, cable, ECU/XDF files and documentation. This is the self install. You may also purchase a complete ready to go EBL Fash ECM. This is one of the listed ECMs with the EBL Flash installed and fully tested.

Highlights:

High speed data logging
Fully user programmable
ECM software is enhanced with larger tables and added functionality
What's Up Display provides a Windows based graphical interface along with analysis screens Link to Screen shots of the What's Up Display
Documented calibration parameters & tables for the new ECM code along with ECU and XDF definition files (used to edit the calibration tables)
Hardware is industrial temperature specified and conformal coated for reliability and long life
Optional Port Mod for use on MPFI engines

Details:

The EBL system sends ECM data to a laptop or PC running the What's Up Display program. It is simply the best and fastest data logger available for any GM ECM. The data stream contains all available engine and vehicle parameters.

Included on the EBL board is eight analog input channels. The data from these inputs is included real time with the ECM data. These analog inputs can be used for data logging WB O2 units, fuel pressure, and any other 0 to 5V linear device (accelerometer, oil pressure, oil temperature, suspension travel, and so on).

The software to run the engine is the result of years of effort. It has been enhanced to support engines from stock through high performance monsters. Handles boost to 30 psi. The EBL code provides functionality not found in stock ECMs. Wet N2O control, lean cruise, cranking prime pulses, ability to select open loop modes for cruise, decel or idle.

For example:

A real shift light
Soft touch rev limiter
1, 2 and 3-bar MAP support with boost SA retard and fuel multiplier tables
Spark tables are high resolution and full size up to 6,400 RPM
VE tables are high resolution and full size up to 8,000 RPM
Acceleration enrichment (AE) tables have been expanded
Changes to the fueling algorithms have been made to provide a smoother, stronger running engine.
Electric fan, upper/lower on/off thresholds and override temperature. MPH threshold shutoff along with PE mode shutoff
N2O wet system control: minimum MPH, TPS threshold, RPM window. Arming input
Smart A/C control: PE disable, upper/lower RPM shutoff, re-enable delay
Lean cruise mode for better fuel mileage
Open loop fueling modes
N-Alpha mode
Emissions functions: EGR, CCP, and closed loop fueling
For the Corvette CrossFire* folks your Digital Dash is supported. Your trip computer (DIC) will be functional
For '85 through '89 Corvette, Camaro, and Firebird TPI setups**, changing from a MAF set up to the EBL Flash ECM is a snap

The enhancements to the ECM code are too numerous to list. Once tuned your engine will run better then it ever has.

What Else is Required:

A BIN editor (such as WinBIN or TunerPro)
Laptop*** for data logging, minimum requirements: 266 MHz, 32 MB RAM, Win95, 800x600 screen resolution, serial port (or USB to Serial adapter cable)
ECM to be converted to an EBL system. The ECM can be any one of the following:

1227137        '86 Safari, Astro
1226868        '85 MonteCarlo
1227429        '86-'88 S10 2.8l
1227746 Truck
1227747        Many Trucks & Vans
1228062        Blazer
1228063        '88 Camaro, Firebird
1228746        '89-'92 Camaro, Firebird, Caprice
1228747        Truck
1228838        '90 Lumina, 3.1l
16136965    '91-'94 Caprice, Roadmaster wagon
16144288    Blazer
16146299   Truck
16149405    '93 Trans Sport, Silhouette, Lumina: APV, 3.1l
16171199    '94-'95 trucks, MT
16196391    '95-'95 Lumina, Trans Sport, 3.1l
16196396    '94-'95 trucks, MT

If your vehicle uses one of these ECMs, the EBL ECM will be plug compatible. Most will be Plug'n'Play, some will need a pin or two moved on the harness connector (easy to do). In other words, unplug your stock ECM and plug in an enhanced EBL ECM with all of the features.

Installation of the Embedded Lockers hardware:

The EBL Flash board needs to be installed into the ECM, replacing the original little board. This may be accomplished by the purchaser or by Dynamic EFI. In order to do a self-install decent soldering skills are required. For those purchasers that do not wish to install the EBL board themselves Dynamic EFI charges a nominal fee for installation. There is also an option to purchase an ECM outright with the EBL Flash board already installed.

Notes:

* Crossfire Corvette:

For the EBL Flash ECM to work in a Crossfire car some additional changes are required. This is due to the type of connectors each ECM uses. The Crossfire ECMs use an edge card connector, while the EBL ECMs use the pin style connector.

Basically there are three options:

1) Replace the EFI harness with one from a TBI car/truck with the proper connectors.

2) Cut off the current ECM harness connectors and splice on the pin style connectors.

3) Have a HAM board installed into the EBL ECM. See DCS at http://www.crossfireinjection.net for the HAM board & install.

** MAF TPI Corvette and Camaro/Firebirds:

To change from a MAF TPI set up to an EBL Flash ECM requires a few changes. There are some ECM harness connector pins that need to be moved. A MAP sensor (1, 2, or 3-bar) is added using the existing MAF wires and plumbed to the plenum. The MAF is no longer used but may remain in place.

Then plug in the EBL Flash ECM and turn the key.

This is an easy and great upgrade to get away from the expensive MAF sensor and burn-off relays. And is even better when boost is involved.

*** Laptop Requirements:

The What's Up Display will run on Win95, Win98, NT 4.0, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. The What's Up Display requires a serial port on the laptop to communicate with the EBL Flash system. If a USB port is available a USB-to-serial adapter cable can be used (click here for the one we offer). The cable needs to be able to handle a sustained throughput of 57.6 kb and fast turn around times. Adapter cables using the FTDI chip set are highly recommended.
