Chris Wilson Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I am a race car engineer in the UK and my experience is mainly with Motec, Syvecs and GEMS ecu's and logging. I have a customer road car coming in, apparently with a G3 fitted. It was fitted and mapped by person or persons unknown, is there any danger I may find it password protected? Will the software quickly show if it has a wideband O2 sensor or a narrow band? Will the G3 data log?   Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hi Chris There is some chance as the option to lock the map did exist. It can be reset by loading a unlocked map over the top or doing a reset to factory settings. The negative is the configuration of the I/O will be lost. The G3 can only log through the PC. If the MAP is not locked spotting a wideband input will be easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thank you Simon, car arrived this afternoon, I have just downloaded the map from the ECU to my laptop, I'll have a look through it tonight. Obviously, in the end it wasn't locked, I was going to get the customer to send just the map, but he decided to bring the vehicle itself. Am I right in thinking there's no direct input to a G3 for a wideband and it needs an interface box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Correct you will need an external controller like a Innovate LC1 or NGK AFX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
