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!
