A few questions for those of you with Link ecu's

My gtr is about to get parked for the winter and I plan on installing a Link g4 plug in ecu and just had a few setup questions. 

1 I have a LC1 wideband O2 sensor that I will be putting in so do I even bother leaving the factory O2 sensors installed? I was planing on installing the wideband in the front pipe after the two pipes joint, does anyone run 2 widebands or just stick with the one?

2 I read that the Link ecu doesn't use the factory knock sensors, if so is it worth getting the Link ones and again just 1 or run 2 like factory?

3 What would be the minimum read level for a map sensor, I have a pair of gt2860r-5 going on and planing on running around 1.4-1.5bar and the absolute most. Any advantages of a 4bar sensor over lets say a 3bar sensor? I understand that sensors are rated in absolute atmospheric pressure and need to take that into account.

4  For boost control solenoid stick with a Link solenoid or is there other options?

Thanks

1. No need for narrow band O2 sensor

2. If you want to use knock control get a Link sensor - don't know of the advantage of two over 1.

3. 3 bar should do if you only plan to run 1.5 bar but your plans might change - if you can get a 4 bar for not much more why not.

4. Link solenoid is just a re-labelled Mac valve. ( I used a Mac valve).

Kind of old thread but I just wanted to chime in about the map sensors. They all output the same voltage range so while the 4 bar can be used for higher boost they will have less resolution than a 3 bar. I don't really know how much this effects real world tuning. But you should pick one for your future plans.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
