Powerlogger I/0 connection help

[Brad_H]

How is this suppose to be hooked up?

I have a inline wb controller , is the ground signal wire just a standard ground wire?

 

[TurboBob]

what wideband?

you should only connect the one signal wire.

where is the wideband unit itself grounded?

Bob

Wideband AEM Inline UEGO Controller
, it's for use without the gauge if you have a power logger

It says don't connect the grey wire
White wire - wb signal , which u connect to io connection for power logger
Brown wire - which it says put eyelet on end and attach to screw on ecm

My question for the brown wire is can it be grounded off on any good ground source or can it even be attached to the ground source on the I/o connector for power logger?

(Bob...correct me if I'm wrong here)....but I believe you do NOT want to connect the AEM ground to the i/o on the powerlogger.....(Turbobob would know...he designed/made the powerlogger)

Brown wire goes to a good ground like block/heads/intake.
Dont use the Analog box for the ground.
White signal wire goes in port 1 on the Analog box.

Ok Ty

where can I find a Map and egt signal to connect to the I/0 connector fir powerlogger?
I mounted my I/0 connection near the fuses under dash

You will need a 3bar MAP sensor to e place the stock 2bar. Then you would need to run a signal wire from the map sensor (tapping into the wire at the connector) back to the i/o block. For EGT, you need a probe and an EGT controller that is compatible with the powerlogger.

 

[DavidM]

Read this for MAP.

It says the 3 bar map is aux. never knew when converting to an 86/87 ecm you would also need a 3 bar map sensor

 

[Brad_H]

Ok

 

[Brad_H]

So on the I/0 connectors do I. Need to hook up egt and map signal?

You can hook up the MAP to log boost. Get a 3 BAR MAP so you can log accurate boost. I think the stock 2 Bar only logs to 10 or 15 psi.

Why do you want to run an EGT? It depends on your sensor and if it has Volt Signal wire. It should be a Power wire, ground wire and a signal wire that can read anywhere from 0 to 5 volts then adjust INI file.

I thought you had to hook egt up. I'm following the power logger install instructions

I have a boost gauge also

 

[turbonut85]

The powerlogger is a recording/monitoring tool. The map, EGT, etc are optional inputs if you desire to log or record them. They aren't required for the powerlogger to work. As far as your boost gauge....keep it so you can have a heads up display of boost....the map signal simply sends the boost reading to the powerlogger so it can be recorded. EGT is not required either...but if you have the EGT system, you can input it to the powerlogger if you want

K gotcha

EGT is optional and most prefer a Wideband over it.

This is my set up on my Power Logger for a street car. Just the basics.

*TurboTweaks 6.1 Chip
*AEM Inline Wideband to adjust Air/Fuel tune
*3 BAR MAP to log boost
*Fuel Transducer to log Fuel Pressure

What are your plans with your car?

WB tells you the afr. EGT can provide usefull data about timing.
