  2. What to change after replacing Wastegate springs?

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hey Guys,

    currently running a 7PSI Spring in my external wastegate and have purchased an aditional 5PSI spring i'd like to add.

    My tuner is no longer available and im not sure what I need to change in PCLink in regards to my boost solenoid (or anything else for that matter) to warrant the increase of boost to 12PSI.

    Can anyone shed some light?

  7. What IAT Sensor works best for my needs? 1999 Silvia S15

    I dont think the orientation is too critical.  I think probably more what Simon was talking about when he said "harder to mount" is the threaded sensors just need a tapped hole.  Whereas the plastic Bosch sensor needs a smooth reamed hole (for o-ring), as well as a flat machined mounting boss and a drilled/tapped hole.

    We do sell weld on bosses for mounting this sensor for those that dont have machining facilities:  http://dealers.linkecu.com/IATBMA_2

    I gotcha, Thanks for the clarification.

    What's the difference between the two sensors LinkECU sells?

    Hi all,

    I have a 1999 Nissan Silvia S15 (SR20det) and I will be installing a LinkECU G4+ plugin ECU in a couple of months.

    I'd like to run a IAT Sensor however im unsure which one would appropriate based on the options available on the LinkEcu website.

    Or...

    http://dealers.linkecu.com/IATB_2

    Any ideas?

    As for wiring, could I use the MAF sensor wiring? alternatively what would be the best way to wire it all up to the ecu? I do have the XL loom (As im also running: oil temp, oil pressure fuel pressure).

  11. Fuel / Oil Pressure Sensors - Will these work?

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hey Guys,

    I have a 1999 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R and I will be running an NS15+ Plugin ECU.

    Im considering these Sensors for my Fuel and Oil Pressure, will they work? I dont see why not but I thought I'd ask here first.

  12. Setup PC Link on Windows Tablet

    in G4+

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    Not sure if this has been covered, I've been searching and haven't found anything.

    I'd like to run a Windows or android tablet with my G4+ ECU in my 1999 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec R, to display the following information:

    Water Temp
    Oil Temp
    Oil Pressure
    LAMBDA AFM

    Is this possible? 

    Cheers!

    Dane

    Also, if this is possible? how do I connect up the tablet? Is there a USB slot or something in the ECU?

    Probably the best way to do this is with a CAN bus gauge.  CAN bus gauges can display multiple parameters from the ECU as well as some have really good configurable alarm/warning systems etc.  Unfortunately they are a little expensive if all you want to do is display lambda but that is probably the nicest way to do it.  You could also use the realdash app on an android phone/tablet or an ODB2 app or OBD2 gauge.

    Here's some of the CAN gauges I know of:

    http://www.btigauges.com/link--vipec.html

    https://gaugeart.com/product/gaugeart-can-gauge/

    I think we could make this work too:  https://www.aemelectronics.com/?q=products/gauges/digital-gauges/x-series/aemnet

    OBD2 gauges like this should work also: https://shop.bankspower.com/series-2-idash-1-8-super-gauge.html

     

    Cheers for the suggestions, They sure are expensive!

    So I think I've decided to run a Tablet with PC Link installed to display most of my important figures (Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, AFM, Water Temp).

    That way I dont have to buy a bunch of gauges, I'll just upgrade my stock Boost gauge because its ugly.

    Anyone had any luck installing a tablet? How would one connect it up to the G4+?

    I'm reviving a super old thread!

    I've decided to buy the Link CAM LAMBDA.

    My question now is, I'd like to get a gauge working for it, How does one set this up / where / what gauge can I purchase? 

    Would I run the gauge to the G4+ Specifically? 

    Cheers!

    Very helpful, Thanks guys, I think you've almost won me over.

    For me however, I wont need to be tuning on the spot (Hopefully). I plan to take the car in and get it tuned and then not touch it, mainly because I dont know what im doing. 

    Would I even profit from a wideband at this point? Provided the tune is good?

    Cheers

    Any boost valve will work, some better than others, the Link valve is a great high quality high volume valve if you need to buy a new one.

    In cabin adjustment can be enabled either by a switch or via a rotary switch, takes a little bit of setting up but pretty easy once you get your head around it.

    You will defiantly benefit from a Wideband, it will enable autotune function, closed loop lambda and lean trip for safety. Dont mess about with 3rd party widebands just grab a CAN Lambda as it integrates perfectly and the ECU gets to see the controller status directly.

     

    Hope this helps :)

    Very helpful, cheers!

    I was planning on buying just a sensor (AEM or something), the CAN Lamba is a good 500 dollars, probably more considering I live in Canada now.

    Will the AEM wideband sensor work fine the with g4+?

    Cheers

    Hey guys,

    im fairly new to the turbo game and I just bought a G4+ Plugin (Being shipped as I type) and I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone could answer for me.

    Id like to use the Electronic boost controller function of the G4+, Just not entirely sure what I need to buy on top of the ECU, would a new boost solenoid be essential? In cabin adjustment would be great!

    Would I also benefit from a wide-band 02 Sensor? or is there a more reliable sensor setup I could integrate with the G4+?

    Cheers again for the help,

    Dane
