new toys for me

been collecting parts for the last month or two.....

#1 Innovate wideband controller
http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php



this is now installed in my car, and proves my car is running to bloodly rich!


#2 Sard FPR (standard type)

arrived today from www.rhdjapan.com via fedex, exactly one week since payment/order




#3 Walbro Fuel Pump 255L (500hp)




just need to install the pump and fpr, yah for new toys

 

What a nice bunch of toys to install. How did the the new o2 sensor prove you were running rich?

 

its much more accurate, i can plu it into a laptop and see my true afr's

 

Ahhhhh.... nice one. Did you have to replace the actual sensors also?

 

Can't wait to see the results you get with these, Carsten! As always, max encouragement for a full review with photos!

 

yep ill get some pics and write up a small how to guide on the pump and fpr install,

the LC1 is the controller comes with a bosch wideband ego sensor,

the controller has two programmable outputs,
one is set to emulate the factory ego, this is now wired into the factory ecu,

and the other output i have programed to have wideband output, this is wired into my mapecu,
so now i can monitor my AFRs with the innovate software, or my mapecu software,

might be time to start tuning...

after these bits are in i only need to make my 2.5" to 3" downpipes.
and make a less restrictive front turbo intake pipe

 

*jealously rising*

Love what your doing man...

 

so do i,

otherwise i would just look at it like my GF does....
its the big money sucking beast that keeps me poor! LOL!!

 

Ah but it propells you through life at break-neck speed... and soon to be even faster! Well worth it IMO, not that your g/f could care less for the opinion of anyone on here I'm sure

 

Have you tried running the wideband at the exhaust tip to see what difference it makes?

I remember when we tuned my Skyline, we had teh wideband in replacing the stock oxy sensor and it gave a lean reading, so we richened it up till it hit 11.5 - 12's. Car then would hardly run. Ran it back on the dyno with the wideband in the exhaust tip, showed 8 - 9's. Stupid Rich.

I would be interested to see what your's does.

 

not gonna bother. means having to move/change stuff thats already installed/setup in my car.

im happy that the readings are correct,

also when using a wideband, it must be installed befor the cat-converter for most acurate results (not that thats an issue on my car)

 

looks like some fun parts there, should be good to see the pics of the pump and fpr install

 

all parts is and now working!

had a few set backs earlier in the week, but this has been sorted,

ill get pic's a do write ups later...
got a head full off gas fumes, LOL!

anyway, there will be 3 write ups soon-ish,

1. fuel pump install,
2. hotwire mod, (battery voltage to the pump)
3. FPR install,

 

Look forward to it with great anticipation Carsten!
