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

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
