Hey Guys, I just started up my turbo build for the first time. It has been a year and a half process that I have finally completed. Here's a idea of what I have and what i'm working with.
stock M20
MLS head gasket
42 lb injectors
Megasquirt2 from whodwho
innovative MTX-L wide band
VDO Oil temp and oil pressure guage
cx racing manifold
t3t4 turbo with internal wastegate
greddy BOV
ARP head studs
At first I started it up and it was idling quite nice but my battery was really shot so I shut it down until the next day. Side note I could not connect my labtop to tunerstudio but I knew there was a startup tune in the MS so I tired it anyways to check for leaks. Finally got the correct driver for the usb to serial adapter. New battery and I started it up which would be the second time. This time it did not want to idle like the previous day and I finally was able to see all the gauges working. I know the tune is not meant for every setup but I wanted to get a heat cycle done so i could re torque the head studs (I feel that is important).
I know I need to find someone who is good with tunerstudio and tuning but there is one big issue in my way currently.
The wideband does not show any readings on the gauge or in tuner studio. I tried unplugging it and re plugging it with no difference. I have wired it into the existing 02 port via an adapter that one of our forum members sells. I followed his exact instructions for wiring the gauge up and I'm nearly positive it is correct.
Are there any specific troubleshooting steps in regards to tunerstudio with the wideband.
After that I intend to work on the idle and timing and such so It can idle safely. Not planning on taking it on the road now since it is winter in CT. But its in a garage and I can fool around with it while it sits.
Goal is to get the a/f gauge working and get it idling right. I don't want to start it up a bunch if the timing and fuel and air is all off. I have put too much time into this to jeopardize the entire engine.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
