Ttipe mentioned this elsewhere. I had no idea it existed.

'Should not have been surprised I guess, we use other black boxes that integrate simulink and labview etc for our instruments. This just covers the infernal combustion arena.

Don't know what I think about running labview in a car tho....

You've got to figure the OEM's developement toys are going to be MUCH more powerful than what they're going to use in their cars for the road.

That I expected, just thought they rolled their own, imagine they had to in '87?
(Hi John- welcome back)


Theoretically we could buy one - given enough money.

In 85 powertrain used specially wired (tapped for signal intercept) ecm which was part of a 3 box unit called "the stack".In the stack the "IM" (signal conditioner) is used to drive the display or the" I^2u".We also had a box where calibrations could be switched on the road by selector switches. This is a very crude description of what was used to calibrate the turbo regals. My car was actually at the strip being evaluated by myself and Jim Royer (powertrain calibrator) prior to purchase through the dealer.The car trapped at 88mph first time out.We were working on this prior to delivery somewhat. Moral of the story the stockers might not have run well of the showroom floor.

Most interesting glimpse into the history. Did any photographs of this contraption survive?
