Link!!!!!

[b00zt3d spyd3r]

alright everyone today is gonna be a good day for me. Dsmlink will be here when I get home from work. Here's my question. Seeing that I'm a complete noob with link except what I've read and videos I've watched, would I be able to get it installed and dialed in within 1 day or should I give myself more time? The car it's going in is my daily and I plan on doing this on my day off (Friday) but if I can't have it ready to go by Saturday morning then it'll be a no go. If I can't get it in one day in yalls opinion I'm waiting till next Wednesday and Thursday

If you don't know whether you have a '95/'96 style cam angle sensor or not, check the passenger side of the valve cover for an externally mounted cam angle sensor. If one is present, you'll see it installed in the area shown below.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

If, as the picture illustrates, you have nothing installed in that location, then you have a '95/'96 cam angle sensor and do *not* want to check the “Use non-95/96 style cam angle sensor” checkbox and you do *not* need to rearrange your plug wires.

make sense?

I understand that I have the cas on that side. I'm saying do I need new wires or just rearrange them

re-arrange. Just like the article. And then check the "use non-95/96 CAS"

right on man thanks. thats what was confusing me was replace or rearrange thanks for the help

No problem. love to see another E316G set-up. Seems like everyone has FP on the brain these days.

When are you pulling the trigger?

Probably not till my next 3 day weekend 3 weeks from this weekend. Wanna give myself enough time to get to know the program and where everything is at in it. And give myself enough time to get everything dialed in the best I can

Cool. keep me posted. I may be able to help with the simple things.

right on bro i appreciate it. was gonna do it this wed and thur but apparently were going car shopping for the wife. eh, just gives me that much more time to research and get my mind right .

When i did mine, i sat down and started watched all the videos. Went and installed the ECU and did the wire swap etc. Then took the laptop to the car and started at video 1. Everything he said i needed to do, i paused the video and tried to replicate. If you can do that and then let the thing idle for a while as you dial in idle trims you should be able to get close. You have a wideband so anything looks too wierd, shut her down and walk to work. If i had to start from scratch it would probably have taken me 10 hours solid to get everything right. Another few hours for really zeroing in WOT pulls. Good luck.

Yup first time for me so that's exactly how I'm doing it and taking my time

Honestly bro you don't have to wait that long. I don't know if others have looked at your profile but with a 16g and evo 560's you are not really too far from stock. Evo injectors are really easy to dial in and drive.
Your ecu is stock now with safc so hooking up the ecmlink and dialing in the injectors and leaving everything else the same would be no different (actually better) than your current safc method of tuning the 560's; being that your timing will now not be affected by the safc "trickery".
Then you can start fiddling around slowly on the weekends or whatever...

Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I think you should be able to get a good base tune in a weekend with your current set up. (with a conservative boost target, not balls out)
good luck

some more tips
*figure out ahead of time what pin you are going to assign for your wideband and boost gauge to log on your ecu, find the pins and label them.
*decide if you are going to simulate narrowband with your wideband or retain stock o2 location and function.

In no time you are going to be saying, "Why didn't I get this sooner!"

If I were just a bit closer, I would just come down and help you get setup....but that is 4 1/2 hrs one way and I work 6 days a week, dam the luck. Yes I agree 560's and 16g are "close". If you are still needing some help right after Memorial day, I will be in OKC goofin around and could come take a look. Just let me know.

Yea but that's the only time I have consecutive days off so it is what it is just a couple more weeks. Thanks for the info though it helps ease my mind a lil bit

Hell anytime you wanna come check it out is fine with me brother I don't have any dsm buddies anywhere close to me so I'll take all the help I can get

 

[b00zt3d spyd3r]

well yall got me convinced im attempting to install this today i dont have anywhere to go till tomorrow . wish me luck!!!

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

Good Luck, we are all just a post away!!

right on bro thanks!!!

okay so everything is hooked up i did the cas inversion and swapped wires no start.

 

[doubleclutch]

does it crank? CEL and boost gauge sweep?

edit: For your first time ever...Post a log!

heres one without inversion and one with inversion

1)uncheck "disable airflow smoothing"

2) post a picture of your engine.

with nothing swapped the car is running. That shouldn't happen. Please post a picture of your engine and your wire routing. Particularly your cam sensor.

Does it idle normally? The log actually looks ok.

Do you have o2 simulating off of wideband?
or are you using factory o2 sensor?

If you are using factory o2 sensor then uncheck "enable wideband simulation" in the NBO2 tab.
is in the ECU config (log) if you are looking at the graph...

i have a wideband sensor in the front o2, the analog wire going to the front o2 sensor ecu wire and power and ground coming from the ecu also. my problem is i cant find my wide band when you go to pin assignments.

 

[lasershark]

what pin is the signal wire wired too?
