Ecotec ECM Program and Harness trimming 

Very kind thing to say, thanks. It's a really small channel and I think a pretty specific audience. As long as those who are watching are taking something away from it then we all win. ;-)

Wow! That's a great deal on the reprogram. That must be a rocket in a rail!

May we ask who you found to do that for $80 ? That is a super deal! I'm hoping to find a engine and wiring in the near future for my baja bug. Doug has really inspired me in that direction! Thank you both!

@@stevenmark8156 To tell you the truth, i cannot remember the guys name. I have his number saved as ECU guy, but his number is 330-442-5166. Just send him a text and he will take care of you.

sirdidymus5 Thank you! I appreciate it!

@@stevenmark8156 looking to get my ecm flashed from a 2008 2.2l cobalt heard u have a great price

Hey dude thanks for the kind words. That sounds like that rail will have plenty of power! lol At some point I want to turbo or supercharge my Ecotec. But for starters I just went with NA. Good luck with the build.

Thanks! It's getting pretty close to starting her up.

Thanks for Subscribing, good to have you on the team. ;-)

My pleasure, thanks for the comment.

No way man don't feel dumb! I started my career as a welder and then evolved into HVAC service. So you can see welding and electrical plays right into my professional wheelhouse. Thanks for the comment.

Hopefully yes! Very excited to see how this motor feels on the dirt.

Pretty sure Alpha Fab does not do Mitsubishi programming. Most likely need to check the forums for that. Although might look locally first. Then you don't need to send off the ECM. 👍

I'm working on removing the wires right now. I'll do a recap of that in the video when I start it up. Thanks for the comment bud!

Can I assume you have seen the shared folder? drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i0qTcN-1BB5_Lu6umgi9OrvRJKr-0vz3 Check Ecotec pinouts, also check the Harness connectors. That shows basically what connectors you'll need. Minus the VVT plugs. Now differences between the E67 and E37 I'm not sure of. Only way to know that is to get your specific pinouts. Did you see the video where I show how to get the 3 day subscription from GM for your pinouts? If not let me know and I'll link the video for you.

@@DougBugBuilder Hi Doug, I have since logged in and read through your entire folder. I have also removed the harness and labelled each connector. I am now ready to start. I think my main confusion is understanding which circuits turn the ECM "on", and where battery power, ground, and ignition control needs to be run. I have read the schematics and see the main control from the ignition switch seems to travel to the BCM, before I'm assuming sending 12V to the ACC VOL connector on ECM Connector 1. I am then assuming this powers on the ECM. I also see which pin sends "Starter Control" voltage out to the starter and/or starter relay, but I'm unsure which pin into the ECM actually tells the ECM we want to begin cranking. Thanks for any help Doug.

LOL, thanks buddy!

No I didn't. And I looked, I was never able to find anything to hook up a tach to. The only thing I have for a tach is the digital dash setup I have. Which basically displays info from the OBD port.

Factory service manual should have it.

You need the pinout diagram for the ECU you are running. This will tell you the sensors it's using and where the wires are landed. Then you can remove the wires you don't.

@@DougBugBuilder Ok I appreciate the information . Thank you so much.

I think they're now called Alpha Motorsports

@@DougBugBuilder thanks man. I'm taking my lsj(out a 06 cobalt ss supercharged) putting it in my 02 cavalier.

Hard to say exactly but the Ecotec doesn't take much more room than the air cooled motor. It's a couple inches longer, so depending on your cage setup you might need to extend it a little.

Ok thank you ! Is there advice you can give me for the wire harnes installation?

@@jaimelopez3598 If you are really handy with wiring you can do it the way I did. Download the wiring diagram and modify a factory harness with what you need. Then you still need to send your computer to Alpha Fab and have them flash it for you. That'll cost about $350. Or Alpha Fab sells a complete wire harness kit with relays and a computer for $750. With that you just install the harness and you're good to go.

Gordon, My ECM and engine is from a 2007 Cobalt. My ECM is the E67. Yours is the older version (not sure what it is called). I'm very confident it can be programmed for stand alone. Alpha Fab did mine and it's working great. I'm sure they will be able to tell you what can be done to yours. This video from my Ecotec series has very valuable info on a website that will get you 3 days of access to GM wiring diagrams for $20. That's where I got most of my info. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gxn8Ousj404.html I hope the videos help, don't hesitate to ask me any questions. Good luck with your build.

Hey Buddy, here is all the Ecotec info. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Wf-L70fgbkngI4he8jvkBeJ8m9PY95-i

Hey Doug, you are quite a nice guy to go to all the work to put this info together and then to just give it to us! Thank you very much!!
