I was on my way installing my flex fuel setup on my Elite 2500 but upon further doing, I figured I cannot hijack my OEM FPCM wiring because it seems this pins to a Digital Pulse output (B25-B26) on the Haltech and I need to pin it to a Synchronized Pulsed input (B8-B9). Does anybody know what pin on the R33 GTR connector I can tap into for a SPI signal? I'm running the PNP harness. I don't see this information anywhere. Any other approaches i'm not seeing would be appreciated

On the pnp harness adaptor there is a plug that has spare wires/pins hanging out of it and one of them is a digitally pulsed input, you need to put the signal wire into that and then go into your haltech software and tell the ecu which pin you have put it on

I’m not exactly sure what you’re referring to. I don’t see spare wires/pins hanging out of my PNP harness

Are you talking about one of the spare ports on the ECU?

There are 3 black plugs in the back of your pnp adaptor image.thumb.jpg.bd55a1958f74113c05d4373f04e028cc.jpg the smallest plug (16 pin) is full of spare inputs and outputs. Use your supplied instructions to find the correct input and hook it into that

Thanks for the input. Yes, i'm on the same page. I've seen that and B8 is exactly what i'm trying to tap into. What's missing is that I'm using the PNP harness to plug to the OEM connector. To pin into B8, I'm trying to find out what pin on my OEM ECU connector that would translate to and that's what i'm having trouble with. I would like to avoid having to splice into the haltech PNP harness

Please help me understand if there's something i'm missing

Look on Haltech how to do it, as your Flex 12v (not 5v), GND and SPI pins should all go to this AUX connector. You don't pull the connector apart. You crimp your wire on and insert it from the rear into the connector. Be careful though, before inserting pin into connector there is a tab on the back that you lift up, then push back down to lock into position. You won't seat the pin properly without doing this. Also the pins are a prick to crimp, as they are meant for 20awg wire and need the correct crimper, or be extremely skilled with long nose pliers. Not really for the novice

Cheers, this really helps. I've even called Haltech and they've expressed what a PITA this tyco 16 pin connector is.

I'll be relocating the ground to ECU but I think i'll keep the power tapped to the fuel pump relay. I hope this won't Do you think this will be a problem?

Because it's a digital signal, you should be okay not using sensor GND. For sensors such as temperature, pressure, analogue inputs then you must use sensor power and sensor ground so there are no voltage offsets.

I see now. My obstacle is tapping into this 16 pin connector. I cannot take it apart to pin into it

Hi mate. I saw your post on the Haltech forum about the 16 pin connector. Refer to my earlier post, I said "lift up", not lift up and completely remove the centre tab bit. It's not supposed to move far. After looking at what you've done to the connector you've probably stuffed it, as that centre part is not supposed to come right out, and won't, unless there is no pins in it. I'd be replacing the entire thing now.

It's just a lock for the pins. You stick something sharp to flick it up no more than a mm just to release it, put your pin in, hear it click, and then snap the tab back down. Click

Do you even have a crimper that will do the pin ? As I said it's pretty specific. I good one that works and is cheaper than an AMP / TYCO crimper is the Jaycar one. You want something that doesn't ratchet for such small pins. Note the small end part-

Works well.

I actually ended up practicing removing the existing pins in the connector by removing them and reinserting them making sure they lock, based on instruction I received from Haltech. I have it down now. I'm awaiting for the below crimper which seems acceptable for the job. I hope i'm all set now to finish the job for the upcoming weekend.

you dont want something that ratchets when you work on tiny pins, i havent done any automotive wiring. i have however built 3d printers up that use similar style dupont/JST/Microfit connectors. best tool for the job in my opinion (non ratcheting) is something like an engineers PA-09

Exactly. Ratcheting crimpers with small pins suck. You can instantly release your grip and correct if your not quite lined up with springs loaded non ratchet.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the set I bought. Solid crimps. Flex fuel is now live. Cheers gents.

One more question:

The aux connectors have 4 wires attached to the ECU and it came like that from Haltech. Does anybody know what exactly these are for? It looks like pins 6, 5, 14, and 13.

 

Pin 5 looks like its for VVT output which I don't have

Pin 6 looks is a spare output

Same for 13 and 14

I was wondering if I can remove them to have the aux output only attached to sensors through out the car (and not the ECU as well)

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
