This is from Torqhead's manual, on their website, with a copyright date of 2019. I'm not sure why the manual would say the system doesn't support those functions if it does.

"Note this upgrade is for Off-Road use only. It is important to understand some of the systems on the LT engine will be incompatible. These systems are the EVAP, Air Pump, and EGR. If you install these components on a corvette (Y-Body) you will also loose functionality with the onboard CCM and some dash
functions as well as other serial communication issues. TORQHEAD is continuously improving their products to improve compatibility of systems, so please keep an eye out for updates!!"

The Lt1/4 kit is all they offer. They don't have any offerings for the L98.

Well we know that TH does have CCM comms on the LT1/4.

I read this to mean that IF u try installing EGR, AIR, and EVAP, u lose CCM coms which is why I made a previous comment about how TH may have overridden these functions to achieve comms w the CCM.

The video shows what actually is a pretty significant stress test for the circuits simulating a grounded plug wire. Next up will be connecting all coils and wires and debugging the code for the auto dwell function, followed by a more comprehensive test cycle with the simulator. Then connecting to a factory harness and ecu to test the est functionality. There will, no doubt, be issues found in the debugging process, but progress is being made in pretty significant steps right now.

HI Jerry / Graham

Any more info on this IM? just curious as I am seeing a couple hoping theirs is not bad

Hi Jeff,
Well I wish the answer was better, but here it is. This year has been quite difficult, given the circumstances. We have arrived at a point where we cannot proceed any further with the current vendor, the only part of the software that needs to be completed is the handover to ecm control of spark and the verification of that. We are actively seeking another software developer that can complete that for us. We have all the current software and the support of our original developer in this effort. We have come too far to give up at this last hurdle. Unfortunately this has been a crazy year, but it is what it is.
Regards
Graham

Graham,

That is a positive answer. Thanks for the update, totally understand why it is moving slow due to the circumstances. I am glad it will be seen up to the end. Slow and steady wins the race

Graham, is there any way to help or support you in your endeavours?

Bump for 2021. Any updates?

Yes.

The DIS Module development project has been suspended. We (Graham Behan & I ) were at a difficult decision point whether to proceed with the project or not, due entirely to the cost feasibility.

During our evaluation, a sizeable inventory of new, OEM DIS Modules became available and was acquired by Jerrys Gaskets. The cost was low enough that we could sell the new, OEM modules for less than our cost for the modules we were developing.

The critical shortage of DIS Module has been alleviated for the present, and the price point is at least bearable.

Whats the work around for the first #500 VIN's this DIS won't work with? I remember reading about a different gap in the crank sensor I believe but can't recall right off (asking because I have a pre-500 90). Thanks
