ok i have read probably everything i could possibly find on this website, dsmlink forums, and dsmtalk. i am still confused about the installation of this LC1. i have read so much, its pretty much all cluttered up in my head, so i guess i might be making this harder on myself, but i would rather be safe than sorry.
i know us 1st gen guys has "one" n/b O2 sensor in the exhaust manifold, and its for closed loop. i also know since i have the MAFT i can use the baro input on the computer since its not used.
my questions are...
1st - do i need to leave the factory n/b in its location in the exhaust manifold and leave it hooked up as well for closed loop and just cut the wire at the ECU? whats the whole deal with that?
i am mounting the innovate w/b right before the flex section in my downpipe, where it will fit between the back of the block and lower part of the firewall and CV shaft.
2nd - i have read many different issues about how to ground the wires on the LC1, some guys say ground the wires together, i have seen others saying, they had to go back and ground them seperate?
what i really wanna know is where have the majority of you guys grounded your wires inside the vehicle (near the ECU or what), and did you ground them together or leave them grounded seprately?
3rd - this really isn't a question, more or less correct me if i am wrong here. once i get everything hooked up on the LC1 i need to hook the LC1 into my laptop and setup the voltage on the LC1, then i will have to run the DSMlink and pull up the wideband option in the captured values.
those are pretty much my only questions for now, i am sure i will have some more before too long, i just hope this thread will help out others later on. i'm doing this to consolidate all the seperate threads into one solid thread. i guess, i will see how this goes.
thnaks, chad
