well it seems that the old alternator isnt up to snuff anymore and the fact that i have electric fans isnt helping the hunk of metal out any.

anyways im having troubles keeping a stable idle under a large electrical load, ie; both fans running, lights on, emanage and wideband powered up.

what is the stock rating on the alternator and is it possible to have it rewound for a higher amperage so the current draw wont hit it so hard?

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By RBW49N · Posted

      The light comes on from low oil pressure. Not temp. Did you do a rebuild or just add an ecu etc?  What oil are you using and where are you getting the pressure reading from

      So like the title says my 97 rs4v has a oil temp sensor but no triple gauges as it was originally factory navigation. My current setup is not using the factory oil pressure sensor as I'm running a link ecu and a real sensor.  I did leave the oil temp sensor in. So now as I was working on first start up and bleeding coolant I get the oil light on the dash faintly as the oil temp gets to about 60-70c. Oil pressure is 45psi at idle at the same time.  I'm wondering if the temp sender doing this?

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By Manur33 · Posted

      I already got plug and play Link ecu G4X. Main concern is that the de loom works on s1 motor or not? I already rewired injector and coils loom to suit my bosch injectors and bosch vag coil. I’m not running any Iacv. For cas running the nz wiring kit i bought the neo plug one so it suits the wiring but don’t know it works or it doesn’t matter they work the same on every motor. For wastegate solenoid do i need to wire straight from ecu? What can i do for iat sensor to work or same run from ecu? For Vct solenoid, right now i got s1 vct solenoid on motor so do i need to remove neo connector and add s1 connector to work? Any other thing i missed i need to do to make the motor working on de loom. Any different mechanism on neo vs s1?
