i fitted a lambda in my down pipe when i changed to l8 on msd closed loop

so i had to fit a pin in the ecu loom plug to run the lambda

question is,im about to run a collins performance ecu which is enclosed in a p8 ecu casing

whats the chances of the pin mating up to the right place

 

quite high i would say, as it was designed to be a direct replacement. can you download a manual or wiring diagram, or get one off someone who already uses it (neil a isn't it)?

 

yeah im sure ava have neils instructions/disc,id just like to have everything done before trailering it through

 

TBH mate I wouldnt worry to much about closed loop fueling as Alans maps seem to be quite fuel eficent compared to some.

 

sounds good,its worth having it anyway i think,im sure hes had to put the wideband reader thing in its place before when it was maxing the greys

 

I think the wide band sensor is bigger than the lamda used for the closed loop fueling tho I may be wrong?

 

...........just wondering....what does ur car go like with ur cloosed loop/ lamba unplugged

 

Widebands normally 18x1.5, though you can get smaller for either ones wide or narrow.
Audi EGT same size as well.

Im sure the pin outs for l8 and p8 are the same so the colins ecu should just be plug and play as thats what it was designed for.

 

only time it ran without the lambda pete was when first built,on greys etc with an unknown chip it was shite,wouldnt idle and over fueled etc

cheers neil ,the answer i was hoping for
