Saturn ECM VS. the ZR1 ECM

Frank:

	in a word,  How!?

The ZR1 was a 4 valve per cylinder engine, as is the Saturn twin cam,

but it has twice as many cylinders!  Besides, are you talking about
new Saturns?  They use the J1850 bus which is a complete departure from
the ALDL bus that the ZR1 probably had.  Is the ZR1 sequential?

It sounds too much like rumor, man.  Kind of like the JATO story.

(If you don't know about the JATO powered Chevy Impala, then don't ask.)

Of course, it may be possible that the two vehicles use an iteration
of the same basic system: It would be dumb of GM to design a completely
different system from scratch each time they do a new platform.  Yet,
I'll bet the Saturn ECM is missing a few injector drivers, and a lot of 
the pertinant code needed to manage the V8.
