Going from Electromotive TEC3 to Power FC now got some questions.

LSX Coils
ISSUES
-I did a single turbo harness conversion on my harness. I deleted all the emission stuff. My only concern is I eliminated the two solenoids in front of the UIM boost and precontrol.
Do I need those?
I only need the boost sensor thats on the driver side wall by the brake master?
I deleted my OMP since I like pre mix better do i need to do anything about that?

The boost/wastegate solenoid would be used if you are configuring the Power FC to control boost. If you have another form of boost control then it won't matter.

Yes but you should consider converting to a 3 bar MAP sensor, either the Apex'i/Denso unit which plugs right in or a GM sensor which can be purchased from Banzai Racing with a plug-and-play adapter harness. Changing the MAP sensor to a GM requires a Datalogit to adjust the sensor calibration. An Apex'i sensor can plug right in and be enabled with the Commander using one of the pre-set options.

I freaking LOVE you man (no homo) cool I already have a 3 bar map sensor. I will call Banzai to get the harness. so basically instead of using the OEM boost sensor it will be like this.
3 bar map sensor----- to banzai harness -------to fd3s harness.

correct but as arghx mentioned you have to change the setting with a datalogit or your car will not even start once you install the new map sensor.
1- I am running an aftermarket air temp sensor thats hooked up to my TEC3. Will I have to run this sensor or am I good with my sensor under the UIM?
Papasmagu- I will be running the oemboost sensor since I am only running max 14 psi . I believe the Oem one is good up to 17psi. I already have the 3 bar map sensor but still shopping for a data logit
unless the aftermarket iat has same temperature output as the stock iat then you can use it. Im using a fast reacting iat that has same values as the stock thats been relocated to intercooler out pipe. Some changes have to be made to compensate for cooler readings in that location with datalogit. 14 should be fine with stock map
OK moment of truth I am installng the power FC tomorrow . Is there anything I need to do when i install it, ................wait 10 seconds hop on one foot turn the key on and off etc......
It should atleast idle regardless of tune installed right?

I have seen situations where it is too lean because of differences in fuel pressure, spark plugs, etc. When you start it you might have to keep your foot on the gas and hold it at say 2000-3000rpm. If you have an on-board wideband (and you really should), watch the gauge. As you let off the gas it may go lean, lean being defined as an AFR displayed as greater than about 13:1. In that case it may stall.
It could also have idle surging issues if the throttlebody and idle settings are not set properly for your application.
OK so today I installed the Power FC fired right up actually fixed my idle /tps throttle burp issue I was having ...lol dont ask..haha
So I then removed my old ignition system from the electromotve tec3. Installed my LS2 coils I properly wired it up checked it 5 times using my eyeballs, wire diagram, ls2 wire diagram. And I have no power at all!!!!!!!
The only wire I have power out of is the 12V supply. The leading and trailings have nothing.
My tec 3 has its own coils system so it is wired directly to the TEC3.
For my LS2 coils I used the igniter harness to get all my sources , and I wired them up like this.
LIGHT GREEN- LEADING FRONT AND REAR
BROWN- TRAILING FRONT
BROWN/BLACK- TRAILING REAR
BLACK/WHITE - 12V SUPPLY
LIGHT GREEN /BLACK - GROUNDS
Theres no power going to the coils at all. I check the connectors in the ECU and it is fine.
yes sir , I am actually thinking of going meth/water injection to see if i can break into 380 should be fun but for now 350 is what my goal was since most of the tracks i go to anything over 350whp is not needed.
