Alright... I think the name is self explanitory... I'm this far... seperated the wires white and blue to go to the link. The rest are staying in the engine compartment according to directions from http://www.lightweightmiata.com/wbo2/wbo2.htm ... My question is is it the same with a 6wire config as a 7 wire config? it seems odd to me that only 3 wires are going to be connected to something other than ground...?

Thoughts... Advise... All welcome and appreciated!

PS. yes I have done a search and I have even posted in some threads but to no avail of help

 

I hooked mine up over a year ago. Don't remember anything because, well it was an uneventful install.

From lightweightmiata:and from the LC-1 Manual v1.9yet you said:So that might cause a problem.

Yes, there are three grounds from the controller. DO NOT anchor the GREEN Analog Ground with anything else.

I just downloaded v1.9 of the manual and I can't see anything confusing there.

 

Ground all the grounds to the same point including the ground for your gauge and make sure that point is grounded to the link as well.

LC1 is really picky about grounds and any problems you have at first will all be ground related until you do the above things.

 

The only reason I stated that is because my analog signal was whacked until I isolated the ground from the power ground. Throughout my entire project I've had bad experience sharing power grounds with signal grounds every time. So I'll leave it in agreement that grounds are usually the culprit if there are issues.

 

worked on the car from 6 til 4am... LC-1 is installed and was a huge biotch to install. gauge still isnt wired because i was too tired. Coolant re-route is done utilizing most stock parts... looks pretty sweet too! did some other little things round the car... like mess with timing... ended up ripping the motor apart 3 times to fix timing(1 tooth off on the sprockets

 

I'm still not sure what difficulty is for the installation. There's just not that much wiring. Having gotten the cam timing wrong three times- maybe you just need to slow down. Double check things before executing/completing the task?

 

Alright huge question, After I installed the WB i took the car for a ride... it doesnt like to idle when cold (normal for my link), but as soon as you step on the gas the car sputters and wants to die.. it even backfired once. Is this because I need to tune it with the WB? or is this a timing issue? @idle timing is at 10*

 

Have you tuned it yet? WB is for auto/tuning boost. NB is for auto/tuning the rest. If it was having idle trouble before the WB, then it's not the WB causing the idle problem.

 

Yea man listen to M2Cup, I would load up a PNP table and start all over.

 

it was a loose vaccuum line making the turbo konk out. Now i need to figure out how to tune better because i feel like i should be getting more

 

Save some dough up and find a "pro" tuner with Link familiarity and a dyno. That's the best way to learn IMO. You'll leave with a better tune, more power and get some schoolin' on your ecu.
