Hook up the wideband and let it do its thing. for the effort of running
two wires the sequential is nice to have, but if you're short on time,
don't bother for now. And definitely use DLL. The datalogging makes it
so much easier.

Subject: Old skool Link


Was just going to harass Bill with this, but then thought the list might
have some thoughts...if you guys can remember going through all this
Link stuff years ago :)
 
Well, I finally got off my ass this winter, blew off other work people
asked and dove into doing all the things I wanted to my car. Put the
link in that's been sitting here for over about two years and it fired
up on saturday about midnight. Decided not to take it to the club autox
sunday with all the changes...
 
Specs:
'92 1.6 w/94K on it, in good tune (new stock NGK's in 5 range; Magnacore
wires, newer timing belt)
Old skool T28 Bell 4.1 with "custom" intercooler (aka Dodge Conquest
with rewelded in/out)
Extrude Honed Intake with a Vishnu dual feed rail
440cc RC injectors
Noisy Walbor 255HP (high pressure) fuel pump (probably got higher than
stock fuel pressure)
94 octane Sunoco
Running 12-13psi (just wastegate, no controls)
 
Link specs:
416M2310 chip (so about 4 chips old- from the notes it is lacking a
Prime Delay, minor L4 bug fix and the newest defaults)
I put the new ecu defaults from the FM website and spent last night
plugging them all in. Only thing was that the Z5 new default is 195,
mine is 139 and it won't change (keypad has no effect). 
Did not put in the sequential injection
Did not put in the boost control
Did not put in the wideband 02 sensor (have one)
 
 
Anyway, she's running decent, but not good/great. Feels flat under boost
and really is not as strong as my AFPR/Bipes setup I just took out. This
surprised me at first, but then realizing I'd spent years tweaking that
setup and this one was right out of the box. 
 
 
 
So question: What is the best step now? I'm feeling a bit lost on which
way to go. 
 
Do I need the the latest chip?
Should I load DLL in and start trying to learn that too? (have a serial
link with USB and a laptop)
  datalogs with help the best way?
or should I put the wideband in and just start letting the link tune
itself? 
 
 
I've got a Riverrun event (Ohio river fun day with the british car club)
this saturday and I'd like to get it running well enough that I don't
worry about it and I'll have some fun. 
 
 
Cheers,

*If nothing else, throwing that damned ugly 90* bend in the 'ol Bell
intake along with the AFM and little round K&N was worth it for the
engine prettiness alone :) Engine with the polished intake, cut off for
cam gears/polished valve cover and repainted pipes looks nice!
