I thought the kl31/36 were used for the straight neck and probinator was just for the curved.

Probinator is used to chip the K8 ECU for for use on either straight or curved neck ZE..

Ouch that sucks guys. I guess I'm fortunate. Didn't have a problem with him when I was dealing with him, we must have had like a billion emails going back and forth.

Hey Igor, that guy you got the free ZE from flashed a few chips from the Maps on the probinator chip. Should ask how it's done then you could be the new probinmaker. :wink:

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

my stoker100 runs better then my probinator did. i dont know if the vris points were more accurate but the rpm maps in relation to throttle pressure became much smoother. that being said it throws the egr code. he said he deleted the programming for the egr but there must be some code in there he cant find. i havnt confirmed it but i think it just needs an input from the egr position sensor, and that it doesnt actually care where it is.

i also realized the last post is a month old. dunno if anyone cares but thats my input between the two.

Is you CEL on all the time or is the code just stored in the ECU? My Probinator doesn't turn on the light but the code is always in there. Also do you have Stoker's email?

The ECU is soon going to become the limiting factor in doing a ZE swap. Probinator is pretty much out of business and if you can't get ahold of Stroke100 you will need a KL31/36 or you're stuck with the K8 ECU.

ya it throws the cel light. but it comes on instantly. when i plugged in my egr it went away. however with the de ecu/vaf im running atm i get a egr position sensor code that comes on after cruising for a while. im not quite sure why im getting the code with the de ecu as its wired up and has proper vacuum.
