Title: O2 sensor Post by: GatisGirdenis on October 09, 2017, 02:57:10 PM Hello,
I've got a fairly quick question. As far as I've read on the forums and seen it mentioned, like, everywhere, the ME7.1 is a narrowband ecu, on 1.8t that is. I swapped my car to a 24V VR6 and it has a ME7.1G ECM, which is paired with a single 6 wire O2 sensor and the post cat one, which would make me think it's a wideband? I might want to go MAFless some day, so I was thinking if I'll need to swap the ecu to ME7.5?

Might want to try and figure out how to do an ITB setup on a stock ECU. It would make more sense going with a standalone, I know, I know, but living in a not so wealthy country is the reason I might not want to shed a grand on an ECU, if it's avoidable somehowTitle: Re: O2 sensor Post by: KasperH on October 10, 2017, 12:30:57 AM You could do ITB and still have MAF, just put a airbox on it :)

I'm also one of the guys who 'doesnt like the look of a MAF', so if it is indeed a wideband, which I think it is, just need a confirmation, I dont see a problem going MAFless.

But not 100% sure since its a VR6 :) Title: Re: O2 sensor Post by: GatisGirdenis on October 10, 2017, 09:28:44 PM By your description, yes I believe it is a wideband.

Title: Re: O2 sensor Post by: KasperH on October 10, 2017, 11:02:54 PM What is the software number of the ECU?
Title: Re: O2 sensor Post by: Carsinc on October 12, 2017, 08:05:53 AM Yes its probably wideband, but thats not the point, its also DBW...
Title: Re: O2 sensor Post by: GatisGirdenis on October 13, 2017, 06:04:40 AM What is the software number of the ECU? I guess this is the software number? 362915? It's a version 0005.Yes its probably wideband, but thats not the point, its also DBW... I'm almost certain that I could sacrifice a throttle body and make a DBW ITB setup. It would slightly reduce the throttle response, but I'm after the volumetric efficiency of the ITBs which can go even above 100% at a set range. Also, as far as I know, the idle control is done by the ECM with the throttle plate, so that would make it slightly easier to set up the ITBs, if I COULD get it to work.Looked up DBW ITBs and looks like Honda people have done it quite a bit |
