Hi guys, I have searched and googleed and asked around the various car/electronics people I know and I cant realy get a deffinative answer so I'm hoping someone on here can help me.

I've swaped and M35 steering wheel into my C34. the plugs and wire colours are different.

I have swaped the plug over and have been assured by a very sucessfull auto electrician that the polarity of the wiring to the airbag is not important. This makes sense to me as all the car is looking for is the correct resistance?

HOWEVER it has been suggested that the C34 computer may not like the new airbag and BANG!!! as soon as i plug the battery in. As i would rather not waste several hundred dollars worth of airbag I'd like to have a better idea of what might go wrong before i plug the airbag in.

Thanks for any help.

Tom

if the airbag deploys youll have to clean up the mess too.

from memory people have pt S15 steering wheels into S14s without problems, but they are almost the same car.

i rekon just try it. thats the only way youll find out.

Is it worth checking the resistance of the two airbag modules and seeing if there's a difference?

If the NM35 airbag presents the same elecrtrical values as the C34 one; I can't see the Airbag module knowing the difference.

Either that; or put in the earplugs and pinch.gif!

As an aside; it's easily the nicest factory wheel I've laid hands on in quite a while, not quite as nice as my MOMO Tuner, but very close. Man I love that wheel...

Yeah i have considered trying the bang test but i'm not keen on 1. the waste of money 2. the mess all through my car.

Considering making up an extension lead of sorts so i can plug it in outside the car. Also now that i have thought about it a bit more testing the resistance matches an older air bag will probably do.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
