It should go out tomorrow, I have it in the back of my car

ok, so i decided to get off my lazy ass and get this project moving again...
installed the wideband yesterday afternoon (would have been sooner but rained for a few hours and stopped soldering). didn't take any pics but the wideband gauge and sensor are installed. the problems i'm having now is i'm pulling 2 codes (heater malfunction code, which i though i fixed with the resistors :( and the other is the oxygen sensor too high voltage code ) . car ran ok this morning on my way to work, no bogging and no jolting after disconnecting the positive terminal :shock: :D

while datalogging, i see the front sensor only reading 0.060 volts (at most) and it's in open loop mode (but no bogging, thank God

) but the odd thing is the gauge. it starts at 7.4 and blinks a few times (i'm assuming a reset or system check) and then slowly creeps up to about 8.9. i'm thinking the signal wire is loose cuz when the wire moves around a lil, the gauge goes back to 7.4 and blinks again, so i'm gonna resolder that signal line again. also the 25mm stereo to serial OUT connection in the package doesn't match my serial OUT connection on my laptop (their connection has only 9 holes and mine has i think 15 [same as my flat screen's serial cable] so i'm gonna go to best buy to see if they have a conversion harness so i can program the sensor.

as far as the codes, i did two 10 ohm 10 watt resistors in parallel (which should become the 5 ohms needed for the resistane of the front sensor heater wire [pin 3] ) maybe i made the connection wrong, but i think it's still trying to read from the OEM harness (which isn't attached to any sensor). after work today i'll try to take some pics and continue with the install.

GOOSEY: i STILL can't get the second end of the -6AN fitting to go into the SS line :( i'll keep trying during the week. as far as turbo fitment, that will be this upcoming friday and saturday. i'll take pics and send them to you (or post them here) for further review.

laxin: PLEASE let me know when i can get a chance to drop by and pick up the intercooler and crash pipe

mtcavity: keep me posted if you're still available for next weekend

lazy??? Denver told me he'd pick it up, he's lazy, not me

(i guess he's still busy with his manual tranny swap)
he has the SAFC with him still, gotta remind him to give it to you

but yes, if you could, please ship it. sending you a PM with the address.
thanks :)

thanks, only thing i have as an update is that i got an EVO fuel rail from GOOSEY2099, gonna see if i can revise my fuel lines to work with that. Other than that, i fixed up my wideband so i only have one CEL (system too lean), but that i can fix with the GM MAFT (which i'm still contemplating whether to use the gen 1 or gen 2 maft)....

i've been hammered with mid-terms, career fair, and programming assignments that i haven't been able to do anything to the car yet. i hope to get the fuel rail in before mid november (most likely gonna do it in two weeks, that and to get the SS -6AN line in). I still have yet to get the gaskets for head -> manifold, manifold -> turbo, turbo->o2 housing, and o2 housing-> downpipe.

**run1206** · 02-23-2009, 06:18 PM

Fejery (spelling?) might sell me his downpipe which bolts up to my setup. just waiting on him to let me know when he'll sell it. I gotta get the evo ecu cuz
1. turbo maps
2. could also do the 5 speed swap as well.

currently searching for that as well.

**ZigenScarface** · 05-07-2009, 05:15 PM

when i get my paycheck next friday i'm gonna try to find a 2003 or 2004 EVO ECU, then the parts list will be complete. Install will probably be done either over the weekend or the following week after, depending on how much time I need. Either will have a mechanic weld and install a DP or ask GOOSEY2099 to weld and install one for me.
