I won't have my wideband for a few weeks and I want to make sure I'm not going to damage my car if I drive it around.

I used Liveedit, modified the map for 450CC injectors and a Z32 MAF but I didn't change any of the fuelmap directly.

Will I be running LEAN at all?The car seemed to be running rich.

Does anyone have any suggestions for idle etc as well?

You should run the same. All modifying those values does, is tell the ECU how to control/read the values. BTW, good deal on the AEM UEGO's on ebay. I just got one for $239 - $25 ebay coupon I had. Came out to $225 shipped!

Might be getting the Zeitronix, it's more money but it's better for what I need.

Why is that? Just wondering because the AEM has logging capability through RS232 serial output, and a narrowband output to replace your factory O2.

Zeitronix also allows you to log boost and EGT, OR instead of boost you can hook up any other 0-5v sensor all in addition to AFR.

It's a more complete package for tuning the stock ECU.If I had a standalone that did all that anyway (especially the AEM one) I'd go with the AEM UEGO gauge.

Plus I'm a baller y0

Sadly i'm not a baller (thus the BS) But I do believe in spending the money ONCE to get everything you need instead of spending the money twice cause you didn't get what you needed the first time

Yay Romulator arrived!Copied the image and presto it started!However, I REALLY had to lean out the idle for it to run well. (I have an SAFR so I just cranked back the gain on it) had to go about -18%..Not sure if I should have needed to do that..I have DSM 450CCs and my MAF came out of a J30, I was told it was the SAME as a Z32 but could that have been misinformation?

Just ckeck the PN : if the end is 62 is form a 300zx if it's end by N60 it's from a maxima. The maxima use to read about 325 wich is the same has the rb maf.

i just remembered. awhile back another member posted bins of his setup after 20+ runs.

this should be the bin file for a Z32 and 450cc dsm injectors. i believe the fuel tables were changed too so the S-afc might need to be adjusted back to zero.

I just got them in my email. I got 10% off any purchase up to $25 off max. $20 off any technology purchase. And 10% off any fashion purchase. I buy and sell lots of stuff on there, so maybe that's why?

Thanks Mike, the fuel tables though look WAY off, like at idle the bin you posted looks like it will be adding more fuel than the "modified" stock one I originally made..But maybe it's how Live Edit is intrepreting the data..I'll check it out once I have my wideband (should be soon).
