well i just installed my autronic plug an play ecu board, wow its amazing so many things can be changed. just with the base settings it runs perfect.

wired in a air temp sensor so maf delete, and a vacum line and its running like a dream.

just needs a good tune an all is well.



picked it up from mike at http://www.innovativetuning.com/

thanks once agian mike it works amazing.

To replace the MAF you would need to run a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor...not an air temp sensor...

Wrong, you need both.

It calculates fueling using a combination of manifold pressure (which already exists), air intake temperature, and RPM.

you need both like splinter siad, but wow ever one should get one just amazing how these thing work.

i was thinking its going to be crazy to make work and this and that, man i wired the air temp in and the vacum line and the thing runs perfect.

the only thing is our ecu caseing is diffrent, i had to cut the case a bit to make it work.

What air temp sensor did you use?

And do you have a pic of how you modified the casing? I have to do the same thing

No, I know it needs both, but Nico made it sound like he just needs air temp...which wouldn't work so well methinks

Our cars already has a MAP sensor, its on the passenger strut tower.

Yes...knew that too...since I tapped it for the load reference for the SMT6...

I was under the impression that the Autronic had a different MAP sensor

Nope

And in fact, you can use just about any MAP sensor with it, as long as you give it the specs on it

I posted this over on rallitek's forums....not sure if they're still around

I've got the equation for the response curve too if anyone's interested.

sorry nick its better if i talk not type to hard to make my point.

splinter i get you pics of everything, the air temp came with the kit from autronic.

guys there is a map sensor built in on the board as well.

Legacy777 the site does not work let me see what you got and i could compare them.

oh right I forgot about that... I ahvent looked at mine in a while

I didnt get an air temp sensor with mine, lame.

Which one did you get?

Nico,

The autronic MAP sensor is on the board. You just run a vacuum line to the box.

Maybe Nico is saying when he removed the MAF he lost the stock IAT sensor because it's part of the MAF, so he is using the one that comes with the Autronic instead.

The MAF sensor does not have a IAT sensor as part of it.

just trying to translate...

^^ lol mike, so am i lol.

map sensor on board


air temp sensor


and no more MAF

But what about the mods to the stock computer case?

I couldnt see any way of fitting my board into my old case...

^^ look really close at the first pic i cut the sides out so the board would fit see wahts missing, saw file and its in.

You need to post videos of this thing.

Nice, are there different models/options on these?

How much $ do these run for?

so now that you don't have an MAF, does that mean you could safely run a BOV?

vica153 in the future i want to do at least one blast with a video in my car.

BXSS its a full stand alone ecu you can do anything you want it to do, also for price talk to mike at Innovative Tuning great guy to deal with and he hooks it up.

asc_up yes no maf and yes to bov shooting in the air, but i dont becuse i need all the psi i can get to fill up my intercooler and pipes. plus it not so loud.

mike i need you very soon to get tunning =

Looking at the Autronic website there are several boards for Subarus. I am thinking that the 94-96 WRX is the one to use for my '91SS Legacy. Which one do you have Nico?

What does the person tuning the car use to hook into the ECU with the Autronic board, and how and what do they use to make adjustments?

Do you need a separate FCD with the Autronic board, or is there a function in the Autronic that can do that?

94 96 wrx is the right one, the tuner uses a cable 9 pin conector that comes with the autronic then you plug it in to a laptop and tune.

the autronic is stand alone so there is no fcd no more, you can tell it what ever you want to do at this point.
