That's really cool. Where can I find this board? Is that a Bob Bailey thing? Similar to the TR6?
3800 HK's Turbo Regal update for 2027 season
- Thread starter The Broken Regal
- Start date
its a simpler unit to the tr6. i cant for the life of me remember the company name less than 200$
its just a logic conversion board that was originally made for the magnavox box but he made a version to use with the 2nd gen dis

I see! So nothing is different about using the on the 3800 except for mounting then? The directions seem really simple. Since it only takes care of the timing, I assume that there's still no solution for a 2 step? I recall reading something about fooling the PCM into thinking it's in Park when you've actually made a trans brake, but my 5 speed doesn't give me such luxury. Maybe since this would be converted to CnP, I could then look into an LS 2-step controller. ?
the pcm rev limiter has way to much hysteresis/deadband and its too slow really.
while i believe that the lingenfelter type 2 step/launch controll stuff would work its frequency/chopping/timing etc is predicated on an 8 cylinder engine and not a 6 cylinder.
i was looking at some python script and an ardunio setup would let me chop the coil ICM signals from the driver board after they are split from 3 to 6 logic wires.
at that point though it becomes pretty close to being more cost effective for us to go to two megasquirt systems, on for each powerplant and use the CAN bus to let us work out some rudimently traction control/power limiting for the front engine as well as full digital control of a full solenoid converted 4t80e to let us use a trans brake at each end of the 442.

I finally recognize this car!
Small world. You probably don't remember me. My scrawny little 16yo ass was chilling in the Naperville Discount Tire waiting room when I saw this thing pull up. I was super excited to see a GS owned by an enthusiast. I tried making conversation about how I wanted to paint the tail lights in my '95 LeSabre the same way and swap the cam. ?
It's awesome to see that this thing is still owned by the same guy after all these years... I sold the LeSabre a few years ago with only 76k on the clock.

How many years ago would this have beenI finally recognize this car!

thats crazy you remember
More than 10. I would have to guess it was 2008 or 9. If he remembers a goofy little punk at DTC waiting to get his free tire rotation while hyping up his LeSabre I'm going to be embarrassed.How many years ago would this have been
Looking back on it, I laugh at my dumbass, but I really felt like I met the coolest guy in the Chicago area that day.
I bought the car around then, the story doesn't ring any bells (probably a good thing it sounds like? lol)... if you talked to a early 20s guy then that was me, if it was a 50+ dude that was the previous ownerMore than 10.

I would have gone to that location being local, might have been when I bought a set of winter rims and tires for it
Man, that was back when it was on the OG setup, rocker IC 3.2 and 3.69 gear car
