COMLink.exe should just be in the PCLink2_5 install folder, it's a separate file. The MAP signal doesn't run on the ribbon cable, it's a constant datastream of all the info available. You could either attach directly to the MAP sensor internally as long as your logger doesn't modify the signal. Or you could add an extra MAP sensor tee'd off your MAP line and read the signal from that through the same system as the TPS/WB etc.

Hi Doug You have a few options. 1. You can add the extra injectors, 1 on each channel (with individual ballasting if required). This would give you sequential fuel with 2 injectors on each drive. 2. You can pair up your current injectors onto drives 1 and 2, and pair the extra injectors onto drives 3 and 4. This gives you group staged, where the extra injectors come in at the higher rpm. and finally, 3. The best option is to sell your Storm and replace it with an Xtreme, (you'll still get a good price for the Storm cause it's so new, and the loom A will plug straight into the Xtreme. This way you add loom B, wire up the extra 4 injectors and run Sequential Staged with 8 channels of fuel. -Cameron

Pipeline is getting a bit cramped these days. We're adding features as quickly as we can. But we've stopped promising dates as there is always some more important feature that gets pushed to the front of the queue. For instance at the moment one priority is getting ECU datalogging tidied up. Basically we'll get there when we get there.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no closed loop stepper control for the G2. Your best option would be to switch to a solenoid if you're not satisfied with the open loop.

Hi Ian, You're correct about v4 and above being PC tunable. Although using a COMLink or SerialLink a v3 can send raw data to 'COMLink' a terminal program that comes with PCLink 2.5. This will display all data including map values to your PC. If you actually wanted to log the data and play it back you will need an upgrade to v5. -Cameron

Haven't heard of anyone else having that issue. You could try uninstalling and installing again? Or maybe if you have another computer try your ECU on that to see if it's the ECU dropping out or your PC.

Hi Adam, At the moment I can see that there's just an open loop mode there by default. I'll run one up on the bench with a stepper and see what happens. What firmware are you running? Apologies for missing your question in December, we closed for Christmas and things have just been really busy with the new G4 platform selling like hotcakes since we got back. Hope we can help. -Cameron

Hi Gary, The simple answer is no. Although the hardware is there, the CANBUS hasn't been implemented in the software yet. The dash communicates through the CAN port, but just uses serial protocols. -Cameron

Hi Brendon, That unit you have there is a sequencer/ignitor, it allows direct spark on 4 cylinders when you only have 2 channels of ignition. Only problem is it will only work with a G1 LEM V1-3 with special software. -Cameron

Hi Jason, You're right, there isn't much demand for it. If you're having problems with the USB drivers you could always communicate through serial, and then if you don't have a serial connection use a serial to USB adaptor that has compatibility with WINE. At this stage we have no plans for a Linux binary, but if Windows gets any worse that might change. -Cameron

Hi Brett, You're pretty much worrying about nothing. Your water (and methanol mix as most people run) injection should squirt at such high pressure that the shot should be atomised enough not to collect on the IAT, and even if it did you're blowing enough air past it to dry it. As you are using the water injection to cool the charge, then you want the IAT measuring this new temp, and not the air before the water inj. -Cameron

Hi Shaun, What you have there is a Nissan 3-wire Hall-Effect Sensor, the purple wire should be 12V, black is ground and white/blue is the signal. -Cameron

Hi Glenn, It depends on what voltage your LM-2 is setup to output. I'm not sure about the LM-2 (Your quick-setup sheet should tell you the defaults) but the LC-1 wideband that we sell has factory defaults of 7.35 at 0V and 22.39 at 5V. These are your voltage point A and point B. These points just need to match your defaults, or you can program the LM-2 to have the same etc. -Cameron

Hi Peter, The little gold modules are power resistors, they are used to limit the current to low impedance injectors to stop them from burning out. As far as you A/F ratios goes, are you using intake air temp correction? As you do more runs the air in your engine bay gets warmer and you'll get heat soak in your intake manifold. Hotter air means less oxygen, therefore richer A/F. One options is to take a log before and after the changes. If your injector duty cycle is staying the same then it's not the computer and your air density is causing it. If not then the log should show what parameter is changing to cause the A/F change. Feel free to post the logs if the problem is not obvious. -Cameron

Hi James I'm afraid you can't. It is just PCLink sampling as often as it can. The consistency is partly to do with how fast your PC is. -Cameron

Hi Jay, Sorry it took so long for a reply, we're still catching up from the Christmas break! Glad you found a solution. -Cameron

Hi Cliff, In theory the software could control it, but the pinouts/ecu connectors of the 2 motors are different you would have great difficulty getting the wiring correct. You would be better to sell the G3 and buy a G4 that plugs into the MY08 loom. -Cameron

Hi Kris, The triggers will come from the Cam Angle Sensor (4 pin plug on the distributor). You can find the wiring instructions here: http://www.linkecu.com/support/dlandswupdates/TechInfo/WiringAndInstallation/C01 . -Cameron

Hi Mykel, Your Engine coolant temp sensor hasn't been disconnected at the same time has it? Does PCLink show an error if you have a laptop connected when the cut occurs? Otherwise you could take a log with the laptop attached and email it to [email protected] with your pcl file, and we'll have a look at it. -Cameron

Hi PapaZent, These images aren't working for me. Feel free to email them to [email protected] and we can answer you question from there. -Cameron

Hi John, The system you have was not designed to work in such extreme temperatures, most of the components will not function correctly below -15 degC. Our new G4 platform is rated to operate down to -20, with components rated to -40. If you want to improve the situation with your current ECU, the first thing you will need to do is move the ECU to a warmer area (eg inside a heated cab). We have an ECU in Antarctica running like this. To fix the temperature sensor falling over you will need to add a resister in parallel with the sensor, 10kOhms should do it. This will change the scale of the sensor so that it does not reach the limits of what the ECU can read. -Cameron

Hi Sam, First you'll need to make sure you've wired it up as per the manual http://www.linkecu.com/support/dlandswupdates/Downloads/discontinuedmanuals/linkplusv14manual/at_download/file with ISC1 connected to the open wire and ISC2 to the close. Then run through the solenoid setup procedure on page 100. One test you can do to check your plumbing is correct is to manually ground the close wire (with the open wire disconnected) while idling. This should make your car stall, if it doesn't then you've got air coming in somewhere else (past the butterfly etc). -Cameron

Hi Jay, All 4 switches off is the correct setting. The LED will only light up when the car is running (or sometimes if there is trigger issues depending on the subboard software). As far as the PCLink issue, you need to make sure that you are using PCLink 2.5 and that the Serial/COMLink is plugged in when the ECU powers up, and then plug the Serial/COMLink into your laptop. If this doesn't work, let me know if you're using a SerialLink or COMLink and we'll go from there. -Cameron

Hi Daniel, The board you have does not have a drive for that 5th injector, so even with a software change you will not be able to run it. You can still use the manual boost controller, or if you've still got the factory solenoid (or buy a boost control solenoid, available from your nearest dealer) then the ECU can control boost for you. The fifth injector is really only a cold start injector, it's too small to add a decent amount of fuel for staged injection (you'd need a 2000cc inj to be useful) If you're running out of fuel, you'd be better off to just upgrade you main injectors (they actual spray into the intake ports, rather than dribble into the manifold like the cold start inj). -Cameron

Hi Charles, This computer was a special software issue for Outback Engineering. The computer itself is still a G1 LEM. The closest manual for this is http://www.linkecu.com/support/dlandswupdates/Downloads/discontinuedmanuals/lemv3manual . The pinout will be the same, and the menus etc will be pretty close. -Cameron
