This thread is 11 years old. Good advice though.

Got the pigtail for the MAP Sensor coming hopefully tomorrow or thursday. Gonna just wire SD in instead of dealing with a conversion harness.The wideband I've been tinkering with and I'm pretty confident it's accurate now. I'll obviously check and recheck, but I think the only thing...

I'll save those too. Gonna solder it for now though, all joking aside I'm pretty confident with it. I've got heatshrink and honestly don't see the wires at the ECU flexing that much. Plus interior/exterior harness needs replacing or at least re-wiring anyway.

Guess I need better crimp connectors for my wideband's logging wire to the ECU then. Doh. May just solder it. I've been spending so much on the car lately my wife gently asked me how much more money of our savings I'm gonna spend on it, so I'll refrain from buying connectors and a specialty...

So are we all against dollar store butt connectors then?Semi-serious question. It's like 65% joke but I am also 35% serious.I'm also like 23.6% unsure my math there was correct.

Can't even really remember. I know I still have like 1/3rd of it in savings though. I know some of it went to car parts, but the vast majority went to food/drinks/splurging on whatever groceries the family wanted.I was gonna use almost all of it for a GVR4 but thankfully that didn't pan...

God I love 1GAs.I second how much of a machine you are. People said I moved fast in my thread(until I took a break), but you blow me out of the water. Great job, son.Also I heard a nigerian prince reached out to you. Lucky. /napoleandynamite

Well, slightly sad news. Apparently shrinkflation has affected the intake market too. It came today and instead of being 3” it’s like 2.25”. It would work great for a 14b/16G but not my fp green.I’m gonna try to send it back but if not would anyone be interested in a SD intake for your...

Honestly if these annoy me or I get sick of them, I'll probably just spring for these. They look awesome. Just not willing to spend $400 after tax and shipping on some LED headlights just yet.

Alright, ended up ordering two of these bad boys from some random website. It was the legit only place I could find the OEM 1GA headlight connectors, and I didn't feel like fighting with people on FB to finally find someone on DSMtuners that had the harness two weeks after I needed them...

Total newbie with M/Ts here, but my guess is the shifter cables.Logic behind it: maybe after they warm up, or you use them a little bit they're just either 1) not adjusted properly enough or 2) bad/bad condition enough that after awhile they just can't push the gear fully in like when it's...

I was gonna say something to this extent.I'll say instead, if I liked F&F style 2Gs, and ONLY 2Gs it would be nice. But man...no 1G love? If you want to split hairs, almost none of those cars pictured are actually DSM badged DSMs. :POnly 1G's and a select few 95's are DSMs.(before...

Everyone else is wrong, and only I am correct, so I'm not sure I know what you mean curt-S.Unless you're telling me I'm right. In which case thank you, I know I am.:P

Absolutely not gonna make my own. With a 5 year old and all the animals I got in my already small house, it would be a zoo with all the extra wires and stuff I'd need to have all over the place. And I ain't about to do it outside. :PAnd honestly, if a new/better complete harness kit was to...

Honestly, the kiggly shifter is a pleasure to drive on the street. It makes things idiot proof, and honestly even my die-hard, absolutely hated automatic DSMs with a passion, M/T only friend RAVED about my 1G after driving it with the kiggly manumatic shifter. Using the OEM shifter makes it...

It was a super hail mary, but the only thing I could think of. Mine clicked pretty damn loud with the engine off, even full of fluid. I have a video somewhere.But, the solenoids cycle as follows.Solenoid A On B On = 1st Solenoid A Off B On = 2nd Solenoid A Off B Off = 3rd Solenoid A...

It's the truth. I'm not kidding though when I say that the condition of the box pisses me off. It's not like it weighed 50 lbs, and it's not like it was some inconveniently packaged item. It was just done out of pure malice/pettiness.I'm glad it got there, but seeing the paint job so...

Same! If you find some lemme know. And if I find some I’ll post up the whole journey like I do with everything.I think I’m gonna fix the harness and just buy some new OEM style sealed beam units from Sylvania. If I get sick of them I’ll upgrade to LEDs or something.

According to Dave Katz who disassembled the TCU code, the TCU has no ability to see or control timing. Before he did this, the school of thought was that the TCU retarded timing on downshifts.I have never looked at the automatic ECU code, but it may have a provision for timing control or...

Heads up, if you don't want to pull the entire latch assembly to test out the switch, the FSM has a testing procedure for it. Posting pics below.I plan on using this procedure myself to diagnose why my belts aren't working and this is the first place I'm gonna start. You could also just...

I don’t know whether to laugh react or hell yeah react. This is some Tim the Tool Man Taylor stuff and I love it.

I'd buy the modern white. Don't mind the color, just don't wanna deal with ballasts. Those look awesome, but man...$360? Yikes!Regarding the build thread: This headlight thing is turning into a debacle. Why in the blue hell would you cut off and delete the passenger side's headlight...

Very much so. I appreciate it for sure!Now to decide if I want to just go with a LED/sealed beam type unit, or go with a conversion housing. Decisions, decisions.

Oh, so you only plugged in one connector from the OEM harness? If so, that works great for me as I only have the passenger side plug for some idiotic reason.So plug the one connection into the passenger side OEM harness, then just run both wires to the headlights themselves, and they work...

So you plugged each headlight harness into that kit, then from the relays into the headlights themselves? Basically, wire it like the picture shows?Like that?What throws me off is it shows a single plug "to vehicle lighting harness". There's two plugs, one for driver and one for...

Wait, there's a 1GA in your local junkyard?I will pay you to go pull the headlight popup relay. Pull every single relay even related to popups for me. I need them bad!

Bumping this up to ask you, can you give a little more details as to how you wired this to the harness and to the bulbs? I may do this exact thing if it worked out for you since I have to do some rewiring anyway.

Nah, they're H4666 sealed housing bulbs. The 4x6 entire shebang is the bulb. Way back in the day, Mach V used to sell a Hella conversion kit that converted them from H4666 to H4 conversion kit, and it was so awesome. Could get bright AF bulbs at any parts store and light output was infinitely...

Alright, I've had enough of these jankily wired LED or HID headlights, or whatever they are. Only one side works, and works is a very loose term. It's like 1 watt powered. The driver's side doesn't work, and I can't even find a plug anywhere on that side for headlights. I found one on the...

Hey guys, I've searched to my extremely limited abilities and thus far, cannot find any good or still functional/not dead pictures of what I'm looking for, so I'm gonna just post up here and ask for y'alls help.Can someone with a 1GA DSM with the unmodified/unhacked harness take a picture of...

True. It’s like they took that box personally though. ROFL like “bet I can break this thing open easy”.Never more glad I used an entire roll of duct tape and half a roll of heavy duty clear shipping tape.

Yay! I’m not gonna lie though, the state of that box makes me quite angry. It looks like it was picked up and slammed onto the ground. What the hell?Glad it got there though. Looks like it had a rough ride.

I took pictures thankfully and used eBay’s website exclusively to communicate. He tried getting me to call him instead but I refused. I wanted a record of it.He caved and is sending me a pigtail and stuff now. Claims that his been having trouble with USPS opening his stuff. Like, if that was...

Alright, more progress. Those are definitely the correct wideband settings above. I also found thanks to @DSMPT an injector deadtime sheet for the old FIC 1050's I have in the car. So I zero'd out the deadtimes in the fuel tab, and instead uploaded the deadtimes on the sheet in the...

It's like 10-12 years old minimum. So like, the 30-2002? It's got the Bosch 4.2 sensor. I think there's some lag between what's logged and what's showing on the gauge. Also: plugged in the VSS, so now we can see MPH. Woo.Edit: Throwing up my driving log for giggles in case anyone wants to...

I just wanted to update this with some advice for anyone in the future. If you have an AEM UEGO and are having some issues with matching logged wideband to gauge, watch this video from @gofer . This was a GODSEND for me, and fixed my issues completely. The values AEM gives you are entirely...

Disk brakes in the rear or drum?

Deserved 100%.

Yeah I didn’t do that. Hopefully I can wake up at a decent time tomorrow to do that. I need to log RawLinWideband like ecmlink says to do and adjust like you said.Gonna be easy since the MAP sensor I ordered came without a pigtail and the seller is honestly useless.

MAP sensor came in the mail today, and mysteriously the pigtail that was supposed to be included was missing. Seller swears he packed it himself and is all but outright calling me a liar when I say its not in the box. Neither side of the small flat rate USPS box he shipped it in was taped, and...

Hey heads up, the centre grille piece still holds super firm if you delete that centre holder. My car has it deleted and the grill is in there nice and solid still.

Wired the AEM UEGO to ECMLink for logging. Adjusted the settings, but now I see why people with ECMLink have hated the AEM UEGO's for years. Just don't know if I can trust the logged values.But, at least I did it. And when/if I swap widebands in the future, I can just take the wire from...

I was a wiseman once. Best 24 hours of my life.:P

Got the wideband wired to the ECU and logging. I had to adjust the settings manually to get it to match the log, but honestly I'm not sure it really does. I got it matching at idle and around the 13-15 range, but going WOT I swear the gauge pegs 10.0 but the log says 11.2. Has there ever been...

...to say(and the vast majority of it is hot air), so I can't help it but to constantly update. Plus I'm completely unafraid of looking like a dumba** so if I have a question, I'll just straight up ask it. That usually stirs the pot and is enough to get people to chime in and massive/random...

All jokes aside, I love shit like this. Active discussion dropping knowledge I had no clue on before.Any links or brand names to "good" solder? Like basically what would YOU use on wires in the engine bay.

Okay, I'm making notes and building a little work sheet/to do list and had some general ECMLink/tuning questions that I wanted to reiterate, mainly about injectors/global fuel.@steve mentioned both InjBattAdj and Global fuel. Do I return InjBattAdj back to the original settings, and ONLY...
