#Buick scanmaster install
(different windows operating systems may install slightly different, but should be similar enough to below) The white wire connects to PL board, slot #8. The (black) ground wire should be connected to the ALDL (black) ground wire, or the PL analog board (slot 4 or 6), or a GOOD ground point (NOT an underdash bolt). The (red) power wire of the SM should be connected to IGN in the fusebox (or a switched power source). The notch in the chip faces away from the middle of the board. MAKE SURE you put the new chip in the correct direction! You can use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the old chip up & out carefully. Remove old chip & replace with new version 2.2 (40 pin) chip.open up the scanmaster using a small phillips screwdriver.included with the powerlogger is a new chip for the original (rectangle box shaped) scanmaster.(Scanmaster G users can skip this section) The Powerlogger simply plugs into the ECM, of which a slight modification of the ECM case is necessary, but it’s very easy to do, as we show you below. It connects to a USB port on any laptop (needs Win98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, or 10 to run). The Powerlogger is the most advanced datalogging scantool available today for the 86/87 Turbo Buicks and 89 TTA’s. The Powerlogger works with any chip in the ECM, it does not require any special chip to datalog. Scanmaster G users don’t need this chip, as it’s already updated & ready to perform with the PL.
#Buick scanmaster update
The Powerlogger comes with a new chip to update your existing (original square box unit) Scanmaster version 2.1 to the 2.2 version (required for using PL), so the Scanmaster can be connected to the Powerlogger for faster updating (way faster), quicker wideband O2 readings and boost display, amongst others. This is one of those items that’s been on our “to get list” for awhile, and now it’s time to install it in the Buick Grand National. That’s the only real way to see ALL of the data all at one time, comparing for example, what your fuel pressure, boost level, and O2 is doing, at any given RPM (or throughout the entire RPM band that you ran, by scrolling thru the recording). With the Powerlogger, you can see all of the different inputs at all of the different RPM ranges, in a frame by frame viewing on the (recorded) Powerlogger screens. Your Scanmaster can show you some of the info, but you’d have to watch all the separate specs throughout the entire power band. My mind was blown.If you’re seeking to record logs for your Turbo Buick, or want to see exactly what your engine is doing at any given RPM, the only way with a factory stock ECM is to use a Powerlogger. The black cars did not start rolling off the line until 1984. Instead, the color available was a silver and charcoal two-tone paint combination. The first year Buick Regal Grand NationalĪs an adult, after doing a little research, I found out that the first year of the Buick Regal Grand National, 1982, did not even have black as a color option at all. That last one, the Grand National, was always a jaw-droppingly good looking car to me, and it was especially menacing in its only available color, black. But, so did the Mustang GT, Camaro IROC-Z, Datsun 280 ZX, Cougar XR-7, the Shelby Cobra, the Corvette, and the Buick Regal Grand National. Certainly, the Countach and Ferrari 308 held my eye. All I knew at the time was that I liked sporty type cars. A white 1987 Buick Regal T-Type parked at a Buick dealer | Gary Gerstner via Hot Rod MagazineĪs a little kid, I did not know that the 1980s was about manufacturers struggling to restore lost power that drained in the 1970s due to environmental regulations and restrictions.
