First time G4x user

Hey guys this is my first time going at it on my own so go easy on the dumb questions.
I have a 2002 STi. I am in the process of installing a G4x plugin. I've run all the wires for my additional sensors, just looking to clarify a few things so I don't screw it up.
So far I have: Can-lambda, Oil pressure, Oil temp, Fuel pressure, Map Sensor, IAT, flex fuel sensor.
Have I got this wiring correct? (EX=expansion harness)
Can-lambda ---> can2 (using can1 future)
Oil pressure - -> (EX)input- volt6- - (EX)5v & GND
Oil temp. ----> (EX)input- volt7- - (EX) GND
Fuel pressure -> (EX)input- volt9- - (EX)5v & GND
Map Sen ------> Tap ecu har. Sensor to pin B-8- 5v-B9? GND??D8/9?
IAT. -----------> Tap ecu pin B27?- - GND?? A7/A15/D8/9?
Flex sensor. --> Sen. Not sure- +12v=D2/3? GND?
 
Do i need a second expansion harness to connect to DI's?
 
Hopefully this makes sense 
Feel free to add in anything extra I might be missing.

It would probably make your life easier if you did get a second expansion loom.

Correct.

Correct, any AN Volt is fine.

For a temp sensor it is easier to use an AN Temp input.  There is AN Temp 4 on the other expansion port.  To use a AN volt means you need to add an external pull-up resistor which may be a challange depending on your skill level and what gear you have.

Correct, again anu AN Volt input is fine.

Easiest option for this is to just cut the plug off the existing factory map sensor and connect the new one in its place.

You have quite a view ways to do this.  See section 1.4.2.1 of the manual, it explains the options reasonably well.  B27 or D14 would be good options - or if you dont think you will ever be putting it back to stock again then you can cut the maf plug off and connect the IAT to those wires (already has AN Temp 1 and sensor ground wires in that plug).  Sensor ground is pin B19.

Yes, flex sensor needs +12V (ignition switched), a DI and ground.  Doesnt necessarily need to be a sensor ground for flex sensors either (chassis ground is fine).  Pinout for the sensor is in the help file.

I'll just buy a second expansion loom and use a AN Temp (although i was under the impression the ecu had internal pull ups, if you could fill me in on the correct use of them (for learning))

I'd like to keep the factory plugs intact (not that i need to but you know) and ive already plugged and run new wires to splice at the ecu, im using the Link 4 BAR sensor

Again ill just get another expansion loom and wire to that for DI, im assuming D2/3 is fine? my understanding is thats what the CAN-Lamda is asking for when referencing the preferred method?

The AN Temp inputs have internal pull-ups.  (AN Temp 1 and 2 have configurable pull-ups, AN Temp 3 & 4 have fixed pull-ups).  You need a pull-up to form a voltage divider circuit which converts the sensors variable resistance in to a variable voltage that the ECU can read.  The AN Volt inputs do not have pull-ups fitted.

Yes D2/3 would be fine for the Flex sensor 12V.  

For the CAN lambda, D2/3 (efi relay) would be the "Alternative" wiring diagram, so you should add the 22uf capacitor if you use that.  The "preferred" method would be a separate relay only used for the lambda, which gets its power direct from the battery.

The diagrams in the quick start guide are newer than the full manual.  

Notice the relay in the preferred diagram has only the lambda connected to it, the diagram labelled alternative shows the lambda getting power from the ECU relay (which will also have many inductive devices connected to it such as injectors and idle valve etc).
