"Ben" chip question

Ive got that damn obd 1.5 B.S. in my 95 Monte LS (as they all are). I was wondering if any of the Ben chips would work w/ the 3100. Ive got a few supporting mods(bored .030, heads shaved .010, FWI, 3400 TB) that i think a chip would bring out more. Thanks.

can't you just swap over to a OBD2 computer and harness? i mean its just a computer... so if the sensor locations are the same and the sensors are the same then you should have no problem doing that... unless im totally off my rocker here??

thats not a bad thought!

I know in 96 the temp sensors changed...

there have one 3 prong sensor, instead of 2 two-prong ones. but thats easy enough.

 

the thing that kills me is I can't get my engine codes withoug paying on both the 94 and 95 cs.

 

would an obd 2 upgrade correct that?

If you want to know about an obd II swap look here, far too much work for my taste....

Manitcor says 300-500 dollars parts.....thats alot compared to retuning the computer

No, i only have the ability to do 94-95 DOHC cars as they have a chip still. 94-95 3100 are fucked, period. Probably forever. Its an oddball code that has little market share and probably uses a different programmer than OBD2. Switch to OBD1 or OBD2 and you can tune it. Sorry for the bad news but I am glad I saw this thread.

Thanks for posting Ben. I thought that's how it was but I still had a glimmer of hope...it's gone now. lol

Moving to OBD-II is more of a bitch than I think most of you guys can even comprehend.

 

Just ask OldSkoolGP..

It was a little involved (I helped him out a little) but the biggest problem he had was getting the 284 to work with the Automatic programing. If he had the 4T65 it would have been a lot easier. At least from the tuning part.
