ECU Tunes and Installs

You have haltech log viewer though. /i

That looks really powerful, do you buy a licence or what?

microtech has flex and logging now too, it will definitely shit on that

[burn is weird]

Yea it's 40 bucks from memory to licence it for all the advanced functions. Basic log viewing is freeware.

something like Magnetti Marelli's WinTax 4 or Motec I2 or GEMS is a bit nicer to use and has more features but licences are WAAAAAY more than 40 bucks, and most are locked to logs from their respective hardware, they don't do CSV file imports. they're more suited to telemetry type data with track position etc, lap splits and overlays... this megalogviwer is perfect for tuning though and takes any CSV and names the channels by the names in the first line of the CSV file.

You could do most of it in excel, but this is much easier to do most things and layout and UI is nice.

Fark doing it in MATLAB. I'd only be using that for really serious stuff like knock spectum analysis and 3+ variable correlation equations. but you'd need high speed ADC data to bother with a lot of that.

Yeah i think i prefered the rach technology software for chassis/mapping vs motec, as an engine analysis tool the licenced features look like good value for money. You could spend hours in excel and longer in Matlab trying to do stuff, you would want to be very keen on specific functionality

MegalogViewer is now $80USD, last I checked a few weeks ago. It seems to change with the tides, though.

It's really powerful for the price, I use it all the time.

EDIT: Today it's 40$ US, might have to upgrade to the HD version!

[burn is weird]

Don't know where you got that figure from, it's 39 USD on their website.

anyone know how to get a tacho working?

[Jason Broadhurst]

I did one of those. I did two actually, but the tacho doesn't move.

The previous tacho posts are on 60TJZ's car.

[burn is weird]

just stick an ignition coil under the dash to drive it you poofs.

tacho might be a bit jumpy while it lasts, but hey, more volts the merrier.

[Jason Broadhurst]

If a relay coil isn't driving it, we either have the wrong wire or it is dead.

I measured 50+ VDC EMF

[Jason Broadhurst]

Does anyone know the plugs and pins microtech use?

I have narrowed it down to molex, but need part numbers.

[10sec rx7]

nah i used to get them from microtech... they would sell them

[Jason Broadhurst]

Adding to the post on this page here with lots of ecu pins and stuff

Microtech LT10S plugs and pins are a MOLEX Mini Fit Jr. Plugs with 5557 series pins

Pins:
16AWG - 1.5 mm² - Molex 5557 series contact Part No. 39-00-0077 - RS-Oline part number 146-2584 - Used for most wires, injectors, ignition and any higher current stuff.
20AWG - 1 mm² - Molex 5557 series contact Part No. 39-00-0038 - RS Online part number 6706307 - Used for smaller wires if required, but the 16 AWG is usually OK

Plugs:
24 Pin Main Connector - Molex MINI FIT Jr series Part No. 39-01-2245 - RS Online part number 257-6124
4 Pin - Molex MINI FIT Jr Series Part No. 39-01-2048 - RS Online part number 679-5776
6 Pin - Molex MINI FIT Jr Series Part No. 39-01-2065 - RS Online part number 679-5773
8 Pin - Molex MINI FIT Jr Series Part No. 39-01-2085 - RS Online part number 6795785

This shit takes ages to collate for the forum so I hope someone gets some benefit out of it one day It is as much a record for me as it is for the forum too.

Hey Jason,
I just put turbo back 3" system on the xr5 Focus with catalytic converter delete pipe. The original set up had 02 sensor at the dump and also a cat temp sensor which is now screwed into the delete pipe. It logs a code for the cat sensor and a few crew have used 90 deg sensor spacers to move it out of the gas stream.

Thoughts?
