.:VRsixGLI 12v R32 Turbo Build Thread

[DannyLo]

If the car is not running by september 1st its getting stand alone. This is taking to ****ing long.

If this is still a street car? If you can figure out how to get Lugtronic to pass inspection OBD scanning in the tristate area; you'll be my hero!

I'm not talking about knowing a guy who'll slip you a fake sticker

I want lugtronic, but inspections each year keep me away. It needs to scan readiness monitors, CEL, and VIN data from an OEM computer in order to pass.

However, If the ECU is plug-n-play with factory harness and I can just swap to my stock ecu, and plug in a MAF, with the monitors auto-passed and whatnot every year to scan with our inspection machine...i'll be going lugtronic ASAP!

In PA if you have passed once and you keep it under 5k/yr its exempt anyway. Just sayin.

[Capt.Dreadz]

In NY anything 96+ needs to get OBD scanned.....every year. Fake sticker won't cut it for long as DMV will know when you got your car inspected when its time to renew the registration. I don't have it as bad with my 91. Then again my wifes cousins husband inspects my cars every year. I dunno how he got my car to pass....i don't ask either.

In my ECU flashing experience these symptoms always indicate a failure of some sort during the flash. I know it sucks having to send it back and forth, but I think that's what needs to happen. If this was a car in my shop I would try reverting back to stock software if that's the last known good configuration, then start fresh from there once the ECU will function in the car again. Again, I know this advice doesn't exactly help you since the flashes cannot be carried out where the car is, but that's my best guess based on all the flashing I've done (7+years).

[VRsixGLI]

Still a street car. Its impossible for the car to pass inspection now the way it is. They use the vin number to determine what equipment the car came with and when it doesnt show up they know there is a problem. Even if the SAI is completely coded out of the ECU as if it was never installed in the factory the computer still looks for it when they scan the car and it comes back N/A however the vin tells them the car should have it. I'll be buying a sticker because... "Aint no body got time for dat"

I feel with this kind of a build where you went all out with everything,you will absolutely get the most for your money with standalone. Lugtronic is what I wanted to do but I would have needed to switch to a drive by cable instead of drive by wire to use it. And to pass emissions i would have needed to switch back to a drive by wire and put a chip back in. So i decided to stick with a flash tune instead of what I really wanted.

[VRsixGLI]

I guess I'll order snow tires for the LM's?

[xpalendocious]

hey would you have any interest in my trying to help walk you through any possible problems? Ive done ton's of conversions and have most of the wiring memorized.

[VRsixGLI]

I absolutely would have you help however the car is at aptuning. If they dont figure it out soon im just going to pick it up and do it myself. PM me please and i can sort of explain whats already been done

Talk to James at CSP (http://www.csperformance.net/) if your going to do Lugtronic. Its the main place Kevin does work out of now.

I got lugtronic on my r32 corrado swap

[VRsixGLI]

Maybe some good news today

[VRsixGLI]

Long story short. My stick ECU was swapped for an automatic ECU and everything functions beautifully. Waiting on Jeff to take care of the automatic codes. Once he handles that APT will put a few miles on the car and make sure everything seems ok then Jeff will dyno tune it.

[obdONE]

very awesome! congrats!

That's great news, so your ecu was faulty?

[stealthmk1]

No, he just had a manual trans ECU in there when he needed an auto trans ECU.

[chaffe]

Ok cool, just from my experience the auto or manual ecu's are the same, the only difference is what box you tick in vag com to configure it.

[VRsixGLI]

h2o?

[dr. b]

h2o?

i'll be there in my R. going to attend .:RollCall and the FI gtg. after that, i have no idea.

[VRsixGLI]

I'm pushing AP to get it done, well see how it goes lol. I dont know if i feel comfortable driving this thing 7 hours round trip with zero miles on the whole setup.

i know how you feel. i'm driving 14 hours 3/4" off the ground. but at least the engine is run in.

[VRsixGLI]

And another month passes...

[BOUDAH]

So whats the deal with this man? any updates?

[VRsixGLI]

Its been next week for the past 12 weeks lol. So its supposed to be done next week. It is extremely close. Jeff is trying to get the file 100% before he comes down to dyno tune it.

[BOUDAH]

I feel ya on "next week" haha cool to see this thing done and on the road

[VRsixGLI]

New plan. 870 tune is taking too long. Swapping to 630's until jeff finishes the 870. Hopefully its only a few days to flash the 630 file and dyno it.

[VRsixGLI]

And two more weeks go bye

Some days standalone seems like a good idea, huh?

[VRsixGLI]

This wasnt supposed to take 8 ****ing months.

[need_a_VR6]

No one plans to have trouble!

[VRsixGLI]

Its far from trouble. Its excuses. One of the plugs off of the upper rad hose was unsued since I removed the aux rad and it was leaking. It took 1 week to have that fixed.

[need_a_VR6]

Yikes.
