I need to wire in my PLX Devices SM-EGT and SM-AFR into my Link G4.

I THINK you need to wire them into the ECU wiring loom and set the link to recognise them but i'm not sure and a bit of a twat when it comes to this stuff.

Could someone have a look at theses manuals for me and let me know which wires i need to cut and wire the sensor into please?

SM-AFR (Wideband) - http://www.plxdevices.com/support/manuals/SM-AFRGen2UsersGuide.pdf

SM-EGT (Exhaust Temp) - http://www.plxdevices.com/support/manuals/SM-EGTUsersGuide.pdf

ECU Wiring Diagram - http://img.docstoccdn.com/thumb/orig/101652534.png

From that diagram there is obviously two pinouts for the two lamdas but i only need one i think, but which one???

I cant see anywhere that the EGT would wire into though?

Really appreciate any help

Do you have the expansion harness for the G4? You can use this to wire in additional sensors.

But if you are only runnning the 1 wideband and dont need the two standard narrowband sensors then you could use one of the signal wires as the input for the wideband and the other for the input for the EGT sensor.

I've wired my wideband analog out to the stock 02 sensor (middle wire in the plug from memory) and it works fine.

Best thing to do is get the Link software and look at the pin fuctions and pinout pages in the help screen. This tells you what everything does and will give you an idea on what you need to do. I would buy the expansion harness, that way you can use one of the AN Temp wires on the expansion harness for your EGT sensor and then cut the Front 02 sensor plug off and wire the wideband in there.

Then you set AN Volt 'x' to be a wideband (can configure this in a Cal Table, voltage to corrosponding AFR) and AN Temp 'y' to an NTC temp sensor or whatever signal it is outputting

No i don't have the expansion harness.

So I can wire in the wideband sensor to tthe 29 on the ecu and egt to 55?

Or do you mean the actual wire from the plug?

You can do either.... But it looks like the rear 02 sensor is not an adjustable setting in the Link software. So You can wire it up to one of the AFM signal wires (assume you would be running MAP with a link) and change that to a GP Temp setting and put your settings in the Cal table.

So basically without an EXP harness, use one of your AFM wires for one, and your front 02 sensor wiring for the other.

Should work fine if its setup properly

Yes i will be using the map sensor.

So how do i set the Link to recognise them through those wires?

Thanks so much mate, really appreciate it!

Merry Christmas!

Download the software and look in the help files. In G4 plug-in ECU installation manual go to pin functions and it tells you what all the channels do. Look at the ones that correspond to the items you are replacing. Best thing to do is just download the software and look in the help files for all your answers. I wired my car up doing this. It's all there, just a matter of finding it. The search in the help files is actually not to bad

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
