Loggers...

So i'm quite new to this logging stuff. Do you need to make modifications to your (stock) ECU to be able to log it? Wich stuff would i need to log it? Can you log every ecu?


A lot of questions, but i know you guys got the right answers for me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't think you need any ECU modifications, but some of the ECU versions in non-US cars will not work with logging. I can't remember in your case what version car you have. If you have the ECU part number that may help some others with the answering of this question.

The logger is really just reading the information the ECU normally collects.

 

The ECU was repaired by a Dutch company and there was a sticker on it with the tests they did on it and the guarantee, but on the bottom there was a "part-number". I'm not sure it it's the Mitsu part number but it was:

MD132957 . We are talking about a non-turbo (n/a) 4G63 engine without 4WD and 4WS.

 

As long as it isn't the older dual-board ECU it will probably log. Does the board look anything like this:
click
MH6111 processor?
I guess another easy way to tell would be if the car that it came from has the 12-pin diagnostic port?

 

This is my ECU:

 

Yes, I would guess that ECU would log fine. It looks identical to our 1990 ECU's, except it is setup for high impedance injectors, so I'm guessing its a non-turbo.

 

It's non-turbo indeed. How do those loggers work? Do i plug them into the diagnostics from the car?

Would those 1g things be good for logging my car? ( https://www.galantvr4.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Board=UBB1&Number=856453&page=1&fpart=1 )

 

The diagnostics port under the dash on the drivers side in our cars. I assume the same with the n/t. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I've got a Palm IIIc for sale if you want it for logging. PM me for details.
