Who makes the 24V coding plugs?

[nando]

I'm down for a coding plug replacement module, but not the cut and splice.
For me, I am going to be running 7-10psi of boost and for one of my injectors to lose pulse because of a splice and a screw sunk connection that is not ideal for vibrating rigid assembly's. I'm in deep shit.

I prefer to have as little splices in my injection harness as possible.

Great idea, has excellent potential, not a good value IMO <<-- That's mine, you can have your own it's totally cool.

if you're not willing to splice into the injector signal then it's not going to be possible to do this. that's really the only way to put it.

there are ways to splice into the injector harness properly. If you're going to use butt-splices, vamp-clamps, solder, or wire nuts, I can see the concern..

I would really prefer to have a coding plug replacement as well. I'm not terribly fond of hacking into my wiring.

[DaveSmed]

When you guys say coding plug replacement, you do realize that is a terrible idea.

This modifies the fuel rate output of the DME , you do not have to splice into an injector. The only purpose of the fuel rate output is to run the OBC and MPG gauge. That won't cause problems on a turbo setup.

Your car has two coding plugs, so double the cost.

Don't forget the fun you'll have calibrating two separate modules to match, let alone the fact you have to pull the dash and OBC to do it.

Ignoring the MPG gauge costs $0 and is a much more cost effective solution.

[lbreevesii]

Want to clear up some confusion then? Where is the best place to wire this in? Does it correct for the obc and mpg gauge or just the mpg?

[Mr.SWISS]

Huh? The coding plug tells the cluster what motor the car has in it. The cluster feeds that info to the obc. It takes the gauge level and calculates it into range etc. What I am talking about is a modified coding plug that is programmed with the correct algorithm for the 3.2L 24V. Slips right into the orig code plug casing or has a plug with ribbon cable what ev. Most clusters in BMW's have coding plugs in them. I am curious about just snatching one from a 95 M3 cluster since OBD2 stopped doing coding plugs and this would be the closest parameters to my engine. On my Z3 I had to swap clusters to correct the tach and the OBC corrected itself..... and it's days of displaying avg mpg 32 were gone.

No E36 uses a coding plug, what you're asking for does not exist

[DaveSmed]

Steve's board gets spliced in the circuit below (or one similar depending on your application) The DME is the dotted box at the bottom.


E30s use a coding plug in the OBC and the cluster, if you pull up the ETM for say, an 87, on page 6210-5 it shows the layout of the fuel rate circuit.

It goes to the cluster on pin 11 where it is spliced directly (unmodified by the cluster coding plug) to the OBC output, pin 25, where it's up to the OBC's code plug to correct the signal depending on engine configuration.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and a pint of blueberries was $6.00. Everyone knows you can pick those yourself for FREE!

I love this, will use it.

PM sent.

Here's the E30's diagram.

I think the public needs to here this.

Way to go bro...

So if you are running MSII with wasted spark, will this still work since you have 3 seperate coils?

I fucking hate you MR.SWISS.

You have shown, on many levels, that you have no idea what you're talking about. The coding plug deals with tach operation. That is, number of cylinders and tach scale. It has nothing to do with the displacement of the engine, which means jack shit when calculating instantaneous gas mileage (for reference, that would be the injector size and duty cycle, as well as base fuel pressure).

I am not going to go into your ridiculous pricing expectations except to say that when you have done the work yourself on a single similar product, then you can speak. You have brought great shame to your famiry.

Go pull a cluster off any 92-95 e36 on the back is a white coding plug in the back, on the OBD2 clusters there is a provision in the mold but the access plug is tabbed an no socket.. How can what I'm asking for not exist if that's the way BMW handle this issue with engine configs?


I buy blueberries too, but I wouldn't pay $6 for a pack of them out, I'd go get a can for $.99. Smart peeps don't buy out of season Mexican fruit.

The point of this thread was to find out who the COMPANY is that makes the coding plug fix. I know I saw a banner on the bottom of R3V about 3 months ago and it had a .gif with an OBC flashing dashes on the display for this.

Hoveringuy don't let me get you down I doubt you are. I feel like you could dish out a little better product and merit the price you are asking.

Good product idea, good member to the community. I just hope you aren't trying to make over 50% profit on these $16 of Taiwan chip and PCB.

:hitler:

Coils don't matter, all you need is an injector signal. I had mine wired directly to your ms board, the input hooked to the INJ1 header and the output to the regular fuel rate output pin.
