(Scanmaster G users can skip this section) The Powerlogger simply plugs into the ECM, of which a slight modification of the ECM case is necessary, but itвЂ™s very easy to do, as we show you below. It connects to a USB port on any laptop (needs Win98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, or 10 to run). The Powerlogger is the most advanced datalogging scantool available today for the 86/87 Turbo Buicks and 89 TTAвЂ™s. The Powerlogger works with any chip in the ECM, it does not require any special chip to datalog. Scanmaster G users donвЂ™t need this chip, as itвЂ™s already updated & ready to perform with the PL. The Powerlogger comes with a new chip to update your existing (original square box unit) Scanmaster version 2.1 to the 2.2 version (required for using PL), so the Scanmaster can be connected to the Powerlogger for faster updating (way faster), quicker wideband O2 readings and boost display, amongst others.

This is one of those items thatвЂ™s been on our вЂњto get listвЂќ for awhile, and now itвЂ™s time to install it in the Buick Grand National. ThatвЂ™s the only real way to see ALL of the data all at one time, comparing for example, what your fuel pressure, boost level, and O2 is doing, at any given RPM (or throughout the entire RPM band that you ran, by scrolling thru the recording).

With the Powerlogger, you can see all of the different inputs at all of the different RPM ranges, in a frame by frame viewing on the (recorded) Powerlogger screens. Your Scanmaster can show you some of the info, but youвЂ™d have to watch all the separate specs throughout the entire power band. If youвЂ™re seeking to record logs for your Turbo Buick, or want to see exactly what your engine is doing at any given RPM, the only way with a factory stock ECM is to use a Powerlogger.
