hi peeps, i have a 3dr running on level 6 ecu but i have now got a level 8 for it other than swopping the wires on the tps can i just plug it in with no probs???


thanks for looking matt

 

For correct and full functionality you need to:

• Reverse the TPS wires
• Swop TPS to PF09
• Install and Wire up the knock sensor
• Determine wether the software your going to run requires lambda and fit one if so.

 

thanks for the info,, will it run with out the nock and lamber??

 

Knock - yes if for some reason you dont want this safety feature.
Lambda - yes, if you fit software that doesnt require it to be present. Otherwise it will run, but with a permanent error logged.

 

ok, where can i fined a knock sensor and where would i fit it as my breather is now in its place?

im not sure if its ment to run lamber as i got the ecu off ebay last and only got the spec of greys t4 std engine.

thanks for you time

 

think you can buy knock sensor new for about 50 notes and the breather fuck knows!!

 

im sure i can put it any where on the block, does any one no witch pins in the ecu plug i need to fined?

 

http://www.bigturbo.co.uk/ you,ll find the pins in the wiring section .
Also in you haven't seen it MSD do a mounting plate for L8 into L1& L6 cars.

 

Yes I converted Mine on my own very easy..

Follow stu's guide above.

 

my knock sensor screws into a threaded fitting in the block that doesnt go all the way through the block, it is more or less just below where the breather take off is on the turbo side

 

Very handy diagrams there

 

This is the trouble with buying second hand (The ECU isn't a problem) but you are reliant upon the person's information about the calibration being correct.

If it were me I would get the map examined etc if you plan to use this on with your engine.

ok guys fitted the l8 and knock sensor,,
it seems that wonce it get up to temp it starts to tickover at almost 1800rpm.

what do you think it could be??

 

TPS not set correctly and or base idle not correct once hot remove iscv plug and check u have got 850/900 rpm if for some reason you cannnot adjust any lower on idle screw you have a air leak in the intake manifold.

PLEASE make sure your chip is correct for the engine for example a T34/63 will flow a greater volume of air than a T34/48 best to get it checked by rolling road or have a chip written to your spec

 

hi iv set the base idle to 900 and set the tps with a multi meter,,
its only when its hot it rev up at 1800 abd drops to 900rpm when i unplug the iscv..

i have the right chip for my spec.

Been out in it today and it seems to have sorted it self out
