What an absolutely idiotic idea to preserve them with this useless.ecm crap. THey even admit it has no purpose because Windows and OS X easily can deal with the compressed image file without this ecm junk.
(Second) ECM Swap- At the same time, ECM is also a small application that offers you the possibility to perform the conversion in no time. ECM is able to work with popular CD image files, such as BIN, CCD, CDI, CDR, ISO or NRG. To import these CD images you can simply drag and drop the files on top of the ECM main window or you can use the entries in main File menu.

The '85 and '86-'89 TPI cars use a MAF sensor inline of the intake air flow to precisely measure the air flow and adjust A/F, etc. based on that reading. 1990-1992 TPI cars switched over to a MAP system (also referred to as Speed Density) where the ECM gets a estimated air flow based on engine vacuum. The change to MAP is rumored to be based on cost reasons for GM, but for performance engine builders, the limited air flow able to pass thru the MAF is also a consideration of changing to a MAP system.
I wanted to be able to quantitatively compare the MAF-vs-MAP systems on my vehicle to have a better understand the limits of each and how my car would react/benefit from both. To easily switch between the two systems, I set out to build/adapt both ECMs, different sensors, and wiring harness differences in a convenient manner to make switching back and forth between them as simple/easy as possible. After working thru the wiring diagrams and getting much valued help from the GMECM mailing list, I came up with a solution to equip my car with both set of sensors that are different, and build an adaptor cable between my existing ECM harness ('165 wired) and the newer ('730) ECM.
Note that you do not have to build the adaptor to change systems, you caneasily reuse your MAF wiring and existing knock sensor engine wiring to hook thenew MAP and knock sensor to. This is a more permanent solution if you'resold on Speed Density and don't want to switch back-forth between the MAF and MAP systems like I do.

I started the car and gathered an initial ALDL scan to check sensors,etc. The car ran very poorly and the data showed it running VERY rich with the stock '92 5.7l calibration. I have enough preliminary data to start zoning in the EPROM. The ALDL data (after warmup) from the RPMs, MAP, O2 from the first start can be seen here
The adaptor was then unhooked and the '165 ECM reattached to prove they can be swapped easily. The ALDL data from the subsequent MAF is shown here .
A basic EPROM image and road test data will be forthcoming..

The first test of the season was run at Cecil County Dragway on March 4, 2000. The 7 runs were recorded as: 1 (MAP) 13.098@105 (let car shift to OD)
2 (MAP) 13.095@105 (let car shift to OD)
3 (MAF) 12.941@105 (kept car in 3rd to 5600rpm)
4 (MAF) 13.071@103 (let car shift to OD)
5 (MAF) 12.927@106 (kept car in 3rd to 5800rpm)
6 (MAP) 13.063@105 (kept car in 3rd to 5800rpm)
7 (MAP) 13.050@105 (kept car in 3rd to 5600rpm)
*note: all the runs had 60' times between 1.812 and 1.860 and so I feel are warranted for comparison..

The Bins used for the tests are a AUJP (Runs 1,2) , AUJP (Run 6) , AUJP (Run 7) variant used in the '730, and a ARAP variant used in the '165.

| Name | BIN |
| Full name | BIN, Generic Binary File |
| File extension | .bin |
| MIME type | application/x-binary |
| Developed by | Windows, Macintosh |
| Type of format | System |
| Description | BIN (Binary files) is a non-text computer file. Data is encoded with binary code instead of text for storage and processing. Some of the coding can be translated or interpreted into text while the rest is for formatting and other useful functional features. Older Microsoft Word documents work in binary. The BIN file extension often refers to CD disk images. Binary data can be translated into plain text to prevent the code from trying to execute functions. This allows the sending, receiving, and downloading of BIN files. Hex editors are very useful for viewing of binary sequences but text editors can be used as well. |
| Technical details | Files with the BIN extension usually look like junk when viewed directly with a text editor. Without knowledge of which portion of ASCII code is crucial for the file or which program to open the file in, the files are not very useful. These files often contain executable code and data programs that are required by various OS’s for the starting of a program. Binary digits (bits) are grouped in 8-character groups and used to interpret something other than numbers and letters by different programs. This allows images, text, sound, and other files (compressed) to be found in a BIN file. Headers can contain metadata used by the program to interpret data and identify format. |
