nope it doesn't read knock sensor values, the consult port does not make them available.

Otherwise it is great, we started my engine for the first time after the rebuild today, and it was great having the display to make sure everything is OK

all 5 wires are needed to get everything to work. There is not one wire which it needs to get the ignition timing.

I have *heard* that connecting up your own consult port works with the CA18 ecu (consult is supported, but Nissan never hooked it up). I haven't seen this with my own eyes so i dont know how true it is.

Impakt

I have spent the last hour researching it and am having trouble finding wheather the ecu has the Tx Rx and clk. The only ecu diagrams I have don't have them listed.

I have also heard of a guy with a datto 1600 running a ca18det who has hooked up a consult port

not really much, just some guy told me the supposed tx, rx, and clk pinout from the ecu, I dont want to post it up untill I have evidence that its correct or Ive tested it incase it frazzles ecus.

i ve had my screen a couple of days and it is awesome already found a couple of problems that were easily fixed and have probably saved me the cost of the screen.

However i cant seem to get the software to work I am using a USB to serial converter which seems to be working (getting Rx lights flashing) but software wont connect.

Interesting, we had the same problem with a serial to USB converter....but a second model worked fine?

I had some problems, it'd create a virtual serial port 3 and it wa a no go, but if i disable the REAL serial port 2 and force the virtual to serial port 2 THEN it worked. Go figure?

    • Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.
    • Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways. 
    • I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.  
    • And if it still spikes, just for now, turn off VCT completely by disabling it OR simply unplug the solenoid. Just to rule out excessive exhaust pressure. I recall a video from Motive DVD about a decade ago, where Hawkins original single Garrett GTX3582 or so turbo had boost control issues sub 1.4bar of boost as well.   Food for thought? Is there anyway you can peg the WG completely open and/or dodgily not plumb it back into your exhaust system for testing purposes?
