A Regal PCM won't work on the Riviera. You can get a tuner for our cars as others said, but you have to know what you are doing or you could do a lot of harm.

why do i remember someone on this site using a regal/gtp pcm then?

Do you remember who it was? I asked DHP back when they were in business and they said it wouldn't work. Maybe they were being cautious and said no to prevent any issues.

I remember Rivman's car and when he was doing his engine swap. His car is a different though. It was a 95 Riviera with a series II engine and transmission swapped over. The old thread is long gone (deleted at regalgs), but I think he ended up having to rewire most of the engine and computer wiring. He was pretty knowledgeable with our cars. The computer might work, but I still wouldn't risk it. It would be better to have a pcm programmed for a Riviera or buy a programmer and learn to do it.

Edit: Just found the information and pictures on his cardomain http://www.cardomain.com/ride/225449/5.

i wasnt trying to prove that it would work i was just saying i thought i remembered a riv running on a gtp/regal pcm, never said it was easy to do i just brought it up hoping someone on here would know what i was talking about and possibly help him so he could use the $50 pcm instead of having to buy a tuner now. now that he knows its a lot of work its up to him to decide how bad he wants to do it, that was the point of bringing it up not trying to prove anyone wrong here...

Hey All, I finally got a dhp tuner from a guy on another forum, he sent me everything, and a burnt cd labeled dhp software and other software. upon entering the cd to my computer it was blank , nothing on it..soooo

1. i was wondering if any ones software would work ? if so could some one email it to me in a zip file ?

2. I need a 96 bin file also..

And of course any other hints or sites i can go to for tuning purposes, Oh one other thing I've been reading and i actually saw it once, that there is a dhp forum . any one know the web address, i cant find it..

thanks in advance ....Email.... rivi2285@gmail.com

Try www.digitalhorsepower.com

i.e. DHP or Dipshit.com, I can't remember now, it's been so long. I don't own the software so I don't know for sure.

DHP never sent out software on disc,that I'm aware of, it was only available as a download on their forums. That's how I got it back when I was going to use it. It's not digitalhorsepower.com anymore, they were going under gm......dot come, but I forget what came after the GM.

Here ya go:

http://www.gmv6pcm.com/

Click on Downloads in the upper right corner, then go to the DHP General forum, lots of DL files there.

The site is actually powrtuner.com but gmv6pcm.com takes you there.

thanks for the info Dave , i think i have everything i need now ....

Sweet, good luck with this. I gave mine up before I got into using it at all.

So I'm fairly new to the Riviera scene, kinda learning as I go.

And now I've figured out (for the most part) what I need to do to at least get a start on making my 96 a little more fun to drive. I've seen "1.5 bin" flying around a lot, so where should I look for one of these? Scanning the forum it looks like DHP is no longer in business? At least all my google searches turn me back here, or to other 3800/bonneville/gp forums.

Also looking to get the DHP powrtuner. Thanks!

You'll have to find a used DHP somewhere. Keep checking the GP forums and what-not. Every now and again one will turn up on here, or another member will find one and list it for us. They are pretty far and few between.

Okay. And didn't DHP offer PCMs as well?

If anyone sees or hears anything about stuff for a 96, please PM or email me at dcabram@gmail.com

Thanks!

Here is some info on the '96 year, which is different than other years:
