tiago Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi all, just finish an intake swap on my 1999 Sti and I'm trying the first start. I'm using the 2005 intake and the major differences are the ISC Solenoid, fuel injectors (sti top feed pink) and the individual coils. Did a try today but no success. I'm seeing a log or Trigger Errors, not sure if it could be my problem or would be something else. What I did was merge my current configuration with the Subaru V7 Base map. I thought that changing the fuel injector and coil configuration would be enough to start the engine with the new mods. Any clue?

Simon Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Your trig 1 and 2 inputs need to be swapped over. The 4 way dip switch on the board does this. You just need to reverse the positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I give some gas the rpm is not going up easily. Since the coils wiring is new, what would be the best way to test if everything is working properly? Can I check the ignition status from the logs? Or best way to confirm it is to removing the coils and checking for the spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigga009 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 You could perform a visual test and know that it works for sure. Remove the coil pack from the engine, attach a spark plug to it, ground the plug onto the engine (rest the plug threads on the intake manifold or somewhere on the block so that it can be grounded just as it would be if installed in the head), then run an "ignition test" through the ECU software, turning on one cylinder at a time. The ECU will then fire whatever cylinder you want repeatedly until you turn off the cylinder. When you turn on a cylinder, simply go over to the engine bay to visually confirm that it is firing. tiago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 It is showing very lean in your log, that could be a symptom rather than the cause but did you try adding some fuel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiago Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I did the tests and found that 2 cylinders was wrong. Changed the wires and now it's way better. The idle is pretty high tho. Probably because of the new bigger injectors. I played a little with the main fuel value but was not able to get a significant result. Next goal is to make the car driveable to be able to drive to the dyno.

Adamw Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Can you attach your tune also. Does the idle speed drop to an acceptable RPM if you unplug the idle valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After adjusting it the idle is way better but now it's reading very lean when the rpm goes up. Tried to increase the master fuel but did not help.

Adamw Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I would be suspicious that your wideband is not working correctly, maybe a failed sensor. In some areas it just flat lines at a constant 1.289 and in many areas it responds leaner when the injector pulsewidth in increased and richer when the PW is decreased. The only time it looks like it is working correctly - or at least showing normal response to other variables is between about 0:30 and 1:14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remski2 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Your ECT and IAT are way off from each other. They should be pretty much the same and showing ambient temp during cold start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remski2 Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 2nd thing.. you never leave the post start enrichment. Log shows 5 mins your ECT peaks at 50F. I get 160F around 5 min mark. Seems like your ECT sensor is plugged in somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed it and now is way better. Looking at the last log I noticed that the MAP is reading ~5psi at idle. Is it correct? I'm asking because I changed the map from the 3bar Link to the OEM one. @Adamw after a while the lambda started to work. Not sure if it could affect but the car was parked for several months. After the engine warmup it looks like that the wideband was working properly.

Yes that sounds about right. The most relevant test is with the engine off check that MAP reads the same as BAP. 26 minutes ago, tiago said: after a while the lambda started to work. Not sure if it could affect but the car was parked for several months. After the engine warmup it looks like that the wideband was working properly. Im not convinced. In your latest log the lambda seems to drift higher and higher as time goes on but the inj pulsewidth is quite stable. Im not sure if I would trust it personally but if you do then it looks like your fuel table needs a bit of work as the lambda is a long way off target.

For sure my fuel table needs work. Will try to drive to the shop and have an experienced tuner take a look on that. Thanks for the help!

remski2 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 You are not running any Lambda fuel correction. Your Lambda correction is off due to TP lockout. Change it to 10% and it should start working. Keep in mind it will turn off at 11% so use your discretion to the value. Delta lockout to 5% Your CLL gain table is empty too. Lambda rate is 1 so corrections will be slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
