How to jumper and configure your DIYPNP to get your car fired up on
the first try
1987-1988 Porsche 944S USDM 2.5L MT
Test Vehicle Details:
The vehicle used for drawing up these
application docs was a USDM 1988 Porsche 944S 2.5L with a manual
transmission. All factory electronics/ignition system
components are in place and the factory wiring harness is in
satisfactory condition. This vehicle is also an
E-Production spec race
car.
Other notes: Article details installing
the DIYPNP with the AFM in place, as well as deleting the AFM
for better intake airflow.

What to buy:
Required:
1-
DIYPNPB55-K Kit. This is the main
DIYPNP Kit including the Bosch Motronic style 55-pin connector
and all components, case, etc.
Optional:
1-
Tuning Cable This is
the same DB9 serial tuning cable used in other MegaSquirt
applications.
1-
USB Adapter This is
a DB9 serial to USB adapter. The adapter is needed when
the laptop or PC you are using does not have a built in DB9
serial port.
1-
StimPower This is a power supply
that is normally sold to power a stimulator, but another use is
it can be plugged directly into the DIYPNP mainboard to power
the ECU directly, allowing you to load the basemaps and do
limited testing on the ECU prior to installing the ECU in your
vehicle. It is particularly nice to be able to flash the
firmware and load your configuration on the bench instead of in
the vehicle, and allows for less risk of damaging something on
the vehicle due to incorrect settings.
1-
PNP_IAT-A or
PNP_IAT-S AFM/MAF Delete kit. This
is a simple kit with an IAT sensor, wire pigtail, crimp ins to
poke into the AFM Connector to run the signal back to the ECU,
and a steel or aluminum bung (hence the -A and -S in the part
numbers). Perfect for getting rid of a restrictive AFM/MAF
with your DIYPNP install.
What tools you'll need:
Soldering Iron, Solder, maybe some
desoldering braid in case you make a mistake. Small
phillips screwdriver. That's about it.

Startup Maps
Base Configuration .msq files to help you
get your car fired up safely and quickly. Ready to
tune.
We're including these maps prior to
showing you how to jumper your DIYPNP up. There's a reason
for that. The base ignition settings contained in these
maps should be loaded on your DIYPNP before you power your car
up (with the key) with the DIYPNP installed. This is to
prevent damage to your ignition system in case the default
settings are not correct for your vehicle. Note that you can
power up the DIYPNP off the vehicle on a power supply connected
to the power jack next to the DB15 connector.
So here's our
recommendation-- After you complete basic assembly, Power
up your DIYPNP one of two ways. Either plug a Stimulator
Power Supply into the front panel of the box (the easiest way),
or start the Jumper Section below, but only connect the power
and ground wires to start with. That way you can plug the
DIYPNP into your factory wiring harness and safely power it from
your car. The third option, if you've fully assembled and
jumpered your DIYPNP already, is to unplug your coils from their
power connectors before plugging the DIYPNP into your factory
harness and powering it from there.
Then and only then,
you can flash the firmware on your DIYPNP to the MS2/Extra
firmware if you haven't already, and then load the startup map
provided to help you get your vehicle started.

Once the vehicle is
started, you will need to use the MS2/Extra manuals to set the
base timing and begin to tune the vehicle! This is
critical! Do not drive an untuned vehicle!

Other Changes/Considerations
This section will cover changes that need to be
made
to the DIYPNP that go beyond the standard I/O jumpering, such as
intake
valve butterfly activation, on/off VVT activation, or other
customizations to address the specific needs of a vehicle.
Low Impedance Fuel Injectors
The MicroSquirt Module based DIYPNP will
control two low impedance injectors normally (without the
Sequential mod allowing for four), or a large number of
high-impedance injectors. This vehicle uses four low-impedance
injectors and as such you can do one of two things. You can
add
the sequential module and wire the injectors sequentially (a bit
of wiring required). Or you can stay plug-n-play and add
resistors inline with the injectors. You will need to use two
resistors of about 3.0-3.6 Ohms and rated at 10-20w each. Put
one resistor in series with each of the two injector outputs and
from each resistor back to connectorboard pin 17. You may
mount
these resistors inside the DIYPNP case if you'd like. We found
some ceramic 3.3ohm 10w resistors at Fry's that fit nicely.
VR Sensor Input
To maintain a consistent tach signal to the
DIYPNP a
25k Ohm resistor is needed in series with
the VR+ input. The VR sensor must also be wired in reverse
of how it is wired to the factory ECU. There are two easy ways to
accomplish this.
(1) Solder the resistor into the jumper wire from
the
Connector Board Pin 48 to "VR IN +" on the Main Board.
or
(2) Jumper into and out of the Proto Area.
Please view the Proto Area documentation
here.
Use the jumper
wire and solder between Connector Board Pin 48 and one of the outer
holes in either Proto Area. Cross over the center
section with the 25k Ohm resistor being sure to stay in the same
Proto row. Finally jumper from the opposite outer
Proto Area hole to "VR IN +" on the Main Board.
Note-- the whole goal here is to make sure
the VR Sensor + signal passes --through-- this 25K resistor
before going to the VR IN + hole on the mainboard.
TPS / Acceleration Enrichments
This model does not have a variable TPS, rather
an on/off style. As a result the IAC type will
need to be set to "PWM Warmup" as well as the standard Accel
Enrichments (not Enhanced) used.
Until a variable TPS is added, TPS SIG from the Main Board will
need to be jumpered to Ground with a 1k Ohm resistor to prevent
the TPS signal from gradually floating higher and possibly
accidentally triggering flood clear mode.
The addition of a variable TPS will allow the use of Closed Loop
Idle Control as well as Enhanced Acceleration Enrichments as
both of these features look to the TPS signal for feedback. |
Sensor Calibration
-
Calibrate your CLT Sensor and IAT
Sensor.
-
Again from TunerStudio, click
'Tools > Calibrate Thermistor Tables'. Make
sure 'Coolant Temperature Sensor' is selected at the
top.
-
Enter these values, and click
'Write to Controller.
-
Now you'll do the same for the
IAT. Select 'Intake Temperature Sensor' at the
top in the drop down box.
(NOTE - If you are removing
your MAF/AFM as a part of the DIYPNP installation
process, do not recalibrate your IAT Sensor now)
-
Enter these values, and click
'Write to Controller. Now click Close to Exit.
-
Finally, you should calibrate your O2
Sensor to the ECU. To do this, click 'Tools >
Calibrate AFR Table'.
-
Choose your O2 Sensor from the
list. Choose Narrowband for the stock O2
Sensor. Or select your wideband and the proper
configuration of said wideband from the drop-down
list.
-
Click 'Write to Controller'.
Once finished writing, click 'Close'.
|
Deleting the AFM (optional)
The DIYPNP allows you to disconnect the
Air Flow Meter. One thing to note however is when you remove the
AFM,
the stock IAT sensor comes out with it (the IAT sensor is inside
the AFM). You will therefore need to
install a GM style intake air temperature sensor in your intake.
This sensor connects to the first and forth pins on the IAT
connector, as shown in the photos below. IAT sensors have no
polarity,
so it does not matter which wire you connect to which pin.
IAT Sensor:
Simply wire a GM Open Element IAT Sensor into
your factory wiring harness at the AFM connector. You can
poke wires into the AFM connector, or you can cut and splice.
Wire one lead of the GM Sensor to the first wire at the AFM
Connector, and the other lead of the GM Sensor to the fourth
wire at the AFM Connector. There are 5 wire slots in the AFM
connector, however only 4 have terminals installed. The
two outer terminals will be the ones used.
The wires should then be folded down over the
edge of the
AFM connector, and the
whole assembly firmly and cleanly wrapped in high quality electrical
tape sealing it up. 3M makes
some good stuff that can handle the temps found in engine bays--
read the specs.

Read the Manuals, You are Responsible for your own
results!
This Application Doc is intended to assist
you in your DIYPNP DIY EFI Installation. We've done a fair
amount of research, and actually tested on a similar vehicle to
help ensure we can provide the most accurate information
possible to make your installation go as smoothly as possible.
That said, there are certain things you could do incorrectly, or
certain things you could change up, that could cause you to run
into issues. Our tech support department will be glad to
assist you working through any issues you might have, please
contact us and give us that opportunity and we should be able to
work things out for you.
Startup Maps included/attached to this
Application Doc is intended only to help you get your engine
started so that you can properly tune your engine. The map
will be setup properly for a stock vehicle matching the
year/make/model/trim in the 'Test Vehicle Details' section at
the top of this page. If you have made any changes to your
wiring, your ignition system, or other related components, this
map may not be ideal for your vehicle. You will then need
to check and confirm the appropriate settings and properly
configure your DIYPNP EMS for your altered vehicle. Some
maps offered may be more completely tuned that others, some may
be just setup enough to get the car to fire up and idle with a
little help from the throttle. That's when the tuning
begins.
In short-- We've provided you with the
building blocks for an incredible EMS. You are however
responsible for the implementation and your own successes or
lack thereof, but rest assured that we're here for you and we're
going to do everything in our power to make sure your project is
a success.
For more information on configuring and
tuning your DIYPNP EMS, and for information on adding and tuning
custom MS2/Extra features, read up at
http://www.msextra.com/ms2extra/. In fact, everyone
implementing this system should read that manual from front to
back if you really want to harness the power of the DIYPNP
EMS.
