because im a cheap basterd, lol.

no but really, i didnt have the money when i bought this car and new what i wanted to do with it when i bought it. i re-enlisted into the navy a few months ago for 67k and they gave half of it to me up front.

besides, i like the sound of 400whp base cobalt. makes a nice OMG kind of are you kidding to mind. lol

 

there is one guy on the forums at cobaltss.net that is putting down 262whp on 8psi of boost w/ a completely stock engine in his 2.2L base cobalt. thats more then what the SS/supercharge cobalt puts down w/ the stage 2 GMPP upgrades.

 

MOST Ls1 TBs are NOT cable driven, only the vettes, and your TPS is an analog feedback device, not digital.

 

how is it analog, the digital computer tells the survo to move the gear that drives the throtle. im under the impression anything cable driven is analog?

 

so even the LS1 tbody is electronicly controlled instead of cable controlled. it wont work w/ my ECM since my computer is not tuneable.

 

There are a few types of drive by wire throttles, most are analog feedback though, they use a throttle position sensor for feedback and output a square wave signal (or two, if they use an H-bridge) to control the motor. This way the ECU knows where the throttle plate is and can adjust the drive signal (with a PID control or whatever their strategy is) to the right position.

There are also serial and CAN network throttles, which send their position back to the ECU digitally. They have the nice advantage being immune to electrical noise..

 

dude... Almost ALL LS1 TBs ARE cable driven. There are a buttload more LS1s from F-bodies out there than vettes. And yes, as you mentioned, our cable driven TBs are analog. The sensor gets +5vdc and a reference (ground) and returns some % of the sensor's voltage against the reference.


No, like I said in the previous post and this one... only vettes.... and yes your PCM is tuneable... click the link in my sig/profile to see how I know.

 

edit doh

 

i dont have a 2.0 supercharged cobalt or the 2.4L cobalt. the 2.2's are not tuneable. they are flashable if you get the garret kit that includes SCT flash but you have to have a manual tranny, i do not. its automatic. that is why i have the AEM f/ic

 

ok, then how is my car analog then. it does not have a throtle cable, so now you have me lost.
