    P5 NA Build - Target 175whp

    I'm having trouble getting idle to settle down. I loosened the screw in the TB quite a bit and the car still wants to idle around 800 rpm (which is what i would like) but when the car gets hot (~92C water temp) it starts ocsillating and dies. If i hold the gas pedal down 2-3% it will idle just...

    P5 NA Build - Target 175whp

    yes, I might be able to hook both the logworks software for the WB controller and the MT up at once...... Does anyone know what water temp the stock ecu turns on the fans? Idling in the driveway brought the water temp up to 92C and the fans never turned on. (i have the stock water temp sensor...

    P5 NA Build - Target 175whp

    I have some good documents from Steve. Right now I just want to get the idle dialed in, make sure the fans are coming on, and take her out for a little spin to get afrs closer to 14.7. Right now the car seems to be running rich. I was mostly just wondering if anyone wanted to ride with me to...

    P5 NA Build - Target 175whp

    SHE LIVES!!!! I had some of the crank sensor wiring messed up. Once that was fixed she fired up on the first try! idles semi-smoothly around 800-1000 with AFR's in the 12-13 range. Tomorrow I hope to get her on the road and try to dial in afrs a little better. I'm hopefully going to be...

    P5 NA Build - Target 175whp

    Turns out my db9 to usb adapter was at fault for the 'no connection to ECU' hooked up the MT to the PC and connected instantly. My error was the water temp sensor. I just the LC-1 reprogrammed to send a wideband 0-5V signal to the MT as well. Talked to Turfburn a few times.... figured out my...

    P5 NA Build - Target 175whp

    Still not having any luck connecting the laptop to both the LC-1 and MT software. I think its the usb to DB9 adapter cable. I tried re-installing the drivers but no go. I will be trying some more experiments tonight... dragging the PC with built in serial ports out to the garage!!

    Microtech install questions

    I guess, I'm going to try and have the stock ecu control fuel. For the coolant temp sensor I meant a separate ground for the metal fitting that holds the sensor, since it is located in the middle of a rubber hose. I left the stock water temp alone as well. All i have left to hook up is 12V...
