Other Notes I have read

Newest instructions do not require 8 - Brown to be grounded.

- Pre 2010 models will use this if they have another sensor they want grounded but it wont show up on the LCD

- Post 2010 models can use this wire to display info from additions sensors on the LCD

One brown wire is for Zt-2 MAP ground (11) second one (8) for standalone EMS with differential wideband input

User1 (Zt2-pin 12) blue wire is for any 0-5 volt type sensor reading like boost. knock etc.

Only wires you 100% you need to connect for just the Zt-2 to run are

1. Red (12V)

3. Green (tach/rpm)

7. Black (Ground)

10. Gray (tps)

If you have a Zeitronix MAP Boost sensor then you need to connect 4, 6 and 11

Installation:

Step 1: Wind windows down, take off positive battery terminal

Step 2: Remove ECU, there is a little tab you push and then the handle pulls down and the ECU just comes off.

Step 3: Remove the inner black cover and also the tape that hold the sleeve on the wires. Then roll the sleeve up to expose the wires.

Step 4: Wire 1 – Red : Switched positive connected to ECU pink pin #119 or 120

Step 5: Wire 3 – Green : RPM connected to ECU yellow/red pin #62

Step 6: Wire 7 – Black: Ground connected to ECU thick black pin #1, #115 or #116

Step 7: Wire 10 – Grey: TPS connected to ECU green (US), white (JDM) pin #50

Step 8: Tape the wires back up, pull sleeve down and then tape the sleeve

Step 9: Push ECU back into place, push the leaver back up.

Step 10: Mounting the Zt-2. I used 3M dual lock Velcro, just a bit up at the back so when I wedge the zt-2 in between the cabin filter and ECU it will hold. Connect all your wires. The dual adapter goes into DATA, then the cable that runs to the LCD plugs into it, and then another cable runs from the dual adapter to the serial to USB adapter for the laptop. I keep the serial to usb adapter in the upper glove box as I have no DVD player

Installing LCD

Step 1: Take out the BOSE stereo

Drill a hold either on the left or right, in the higher corner of the upper cubby.

It is actually easier to drill from the outside.

Step 2: Use 3M Dual lock volctro to mount the bracket. I used a heavy duty door hinge, I picked one that would not open and close easy, the more fused the better.

Step 3: Run the LCD wire through the hole and then cable tie it along outside of the glove box to the Zt-2 box

Open:

Half close (closes all the way for complete stock look!)

All turned on !

Zeitronix Software:

If you have the Belkin serial to USB adapter and have trouble with windows 7 and drivers then here is the solution!

Your Done!

I have not covered the EGT probe or the O2 probe as I have not got the turbo installed so no point.

I will update when I get the HKS 3037 ST kit installed :)

    • Ok, so we've had some (expensive) problems but nothing critical, thankfully. I get parts from FCP Euro in the states and in this instance I got 4 x genuine BMW cooling lines and 4 x OE quality oil lines (because they had no genuine stock). Well, turns out the OE quality didn't fit and the guys wasted a lot of time with them. Thankfully FCP has lifetime returns but the genuine BMW lines locally were $250 each! They also discovered my drivers side engine mount was totally dead and the replacement mount was $350. This sucks as I almost bought new mounts when I did my FCP order and I would have had both the engine mounts for less than this local one. So, I'm assuming at least another $1500 on top of the existing number. They did reassure me that the new (used) turbos looked good which was my main worry. Car will be ready for Monday pickup. 
    • Forgot to add, that excellent economy was on street tyres, normal street alignment, I recall they were Kumho KU31. Current motor, with the silly alignment and tyres would go nowhere near those numbers.
    • And also, as small as the effect may be, the larger exhaust side places a lower restriction on the exhaust flow, even when off boost. When my bigger turbo went on you could hear the difference in the exhaust note at cruise (almost everywhere actually) and fuel consumption went down a little bit.
    • I got better economy after fitting a bigger turbo (when purely highway driving, Sydney to Forster, got down to ~8.3L/100KM), as it takes more throttle and RPM to get on boost.
    • Oops. Sorry mate. It is both excellent to hear and also surprising though. The amount of work required to (effectively manually, not on a production line) build a core vs your low retail price point is why I presumed that you were buying cores. But let's also be clear about what is meant by "build". At your price point I can't see you making cores from billet on a mill, even if CNC, or doing all the machine work on a rough casting. Surely the lumps of metal are sourced more or less ready to go from an Asian supplier, right? Maybe the same with shafts. I mean, you could turn shafts up yourself, but it's pretty slow going for items that are all essentially bulk order producable. I was always perfectly willing to believe that you assemble your wheels to shafts, fit up bearings and do all the balancing. I actually expected that you would have been doing all that even if the core did arrive from a supplier with most of that pre-assembled. Nevertheless, please accept my apology.
