Dad Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Marso- Great advice on settings, I have gotten the cables to extend the translator in the cab so i can make changes on the fly, Never understood the base setting until you posted. Thank's again. Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StallionProject86 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Curious to see if anyone is running a pull through Gm maf on an 86' would like to know your setting as my wideband meter hasnt come in yet. Any help out there. ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dred_85.5_TSI Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Not sure if it will work with everything connected since I had to disconnect the MAP sensor on my 84 (nearly the same as an 86) to get the MAFT adjustments to work. Here are my settings and AFR readings, running on the mods in my signature. Running stock 850cc injectorsRunning with the MAP sensor unplugged.

StallionProject86 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Great I'll have to try those out. Didn't know the map sensor could be unplugged. But I'll give it a try. Thanks Dred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bha280 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I am slowly increasing my boost, and right now I'm at 15 and all is goo. When I try to go higher it runs too lean even with WOT all the way at 8. You think its my fuel pump not keeping up or can I adjust the AUX setting? I tried turning the AUX 2 clicks and it made the care not be able to idle. Kind of confused me because I thought AUX was only for above 15lbs. Then I thought to myself, how does it know I am at 15lbs. Not too sure what to do, need more fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyons8821 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Guys I hope this Isn't to stupid but while running the maft Do I need to disconnect my o2 sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StallionProject86 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Guys I hope this Isn't to stupid but while running the maft Do I need to disconnect my o2 sensor? The only stupid question is one you dont ask. .and to my knowledge no you could leave it plugged in, mine is and I havent ran into any problems.

lyons8821 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Ok man thanks, I unplugged mine and it runs ok but The wash light will flash three times sometimes and I thought that meant trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieJ Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Did you read guide linked on page 2? TroubleshootingIf the installation and tuning does not progress as the steps indicate, the translator signals can be checked according to the following table. Wires to MAF sensor:Pink - +12 voltsYellow - MAF frequency signalBlack – ground (0 volts) Wires to Vehicle:Pink - +12Green – Translator frequency signalBlack – Ground (0 volts)Brown – ATS (Air temperature signal, fixed at 80 degrees)Gray – BARO (Barometric pressure signal, fixed at 3.9 volts)White – RPM signal, connected to CAS sensor. No LED blink at key on: check power feed to Translator, check connections, check fuse. RED LED is blinking: The MAF Translator has internal trouble codes that are blinked out using the RED LED. The codes are as follows. 1 blink - in RPM mode, No RPM signal2 blinks – no MAF signal3 blinks – Internal Flash memory problem.4 blinks – dial or switch problem5 blinks – internal program problem6 blinks – problem with saved settings.7 blinks – unit detected a reset while the engine was running.8 blinks – internal Flash memory reset.

Gamble88 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 How do I tell if mine is 1.3 or 2.0? I got mine without a cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89BananaQuest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Agreed any way to tell the difference? And will extending the wires to locate the box inside the car cause any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMNDSTAR87 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) How do I tell if mine is 1.3 or 2.0? I got mine without a coverhere is a pic of mine----2.0version---mine only says 2.0 on the cover and i think the early units looked the same(not 100% on that)Maybe the pic will help u if there are any visual clues to the version u have---if not get in touch with "ongreenperformance" that is who i bought mine from so maybe they can tell u by a serial number or something how old ur unit is---think the new version came out in 2005-2006---hope it helps--gig out http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/DSC00633.jpg Edited March 26, 2012 by DMNDSTAR87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurbenQuest Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ive noticed a lot of people are running way unnecessarily rich! 12 AFR is the power number on WOT under full load. Closest to that you will be making the best power. running 10AFR at wot is just robbing power and money. Idle and cruising should be around 14.7 depending on your mods if excessive cam or not. But i have a 292 cam in mine and it idles great at 14-15. Cruising is the same about 14.3-15.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threedoor Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) 1g trans + 3" gm mafplug and play, if you buy the 1g version This is correct no matter what year SQ you have? Also, has anyone tried out the Gen 2? It is "cut splice and solder" rather than plug and play... but looks like it has much more capabilities and finer tuning.

Coke Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 86 and older is not plug and play, but it can be wired to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threedoor Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 86 and older is not plug and play, but it can be wired to work. If it's not plug and play anyway this makes me much more likely to get the gen2 unit instead.... or would I be better off going stand alone? I have a crap load of experience with the AEM EMS on my old EVO... if you don't have a good base map they are a pain in the butt. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a crap load of experience with the AEM EMS on my old EVO... if you don't have a good base map they are a pain in the butt. KeithIn my opinion it would be better to go strait to the stand alones on the 86 and older. As the older cars run on both a map and a mas sensor you would only be tuning half of the fuel equation. I would think a tuning system on both the mas and the map signal would give better results. But the added cost and complexity is hard to justify vs the stand alone. Perhaps a different map sensor like a gm 2 or 3 bar sensor in combo with the maft would give better results than just the maft. It would be a lot of trail and error with no guarantees of susses.

If I go stand alone I will probably end up speed density anyway, that is what I am used to working with on the AEM EMS. Now that I have helpful well thought out advice on the subject, this is now officially off topic No need to reply in this thread.

CarlosFley Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Hey DMNDSTAR87, I haven't been able to find this harness and I'd really like to run my translator inside the cabin like you have. Do you think you could post the link of what harness it is you are referring to and are running yourself? Thanks in advance.
