hey all was wondering if anybody has wired an ems stinger into there vl and could help me with some wiring probs i.e what factory color wires for Crank angle sensor what is trig what is sync and what is 12v and Throttle Position Sensor what is +5v what is Signal and what is ground/earth and what happened to the fuel pump as i beleive it was controlled by the stock computer any help would be greatly appreciated Cheers

My fuel pump used to just run off ignition.

The factory TPS is not a variable resistor type sensor. It has 2 contacts - 1 for idle & 1 for full throttle. I'm guessing the EMS requires a variable type sensor? Fuel pump is controlled via the fuel pump relay. The relay is fed constant 12v and the ecu switches it to ground via the dark green wire.

His running a STINGER,not the older type EMS, they have unlimited boost points,eg if you want 12.8 psi,15.2 psi,20.9 psi etc etc You control boost points and etc. As for you TDC did you modified your dissy??? Ring EMS, they have diragrams to do what your doing, when i did mine they sent me a diragram showing me which colours to connect! Eg. ems pink to std vl blue etc etc EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont worry 2 much about variable tps just use factory one about the timing the stinger needs to be set at 60degrees base timing, hooked one up on rb25 and had to modify crank sensor but should be easyier with vl dizzy, ask the ems dude if u have trouble

Like i said before, the factory tps is basically a 2 position digital switch. The stinger uses an analog 0-5v signal.

Um worth about $1200 new i beleive, picked up mine for $800 with loom and comp cable had been on car started then removed never actually used or programed to drive. have come to the understanding the ems doesnt even need a tps and am definate it doesnt need an o2 sensor so im guessing it just runs of map sensor to adjust ignition and fuel is that correct..

no tps, afm or 02 sensor is needed. Mine ran solely off the map sensor.

I believe jetfj has the best solution. He dreams about EMS take as much of his advice as you can cause he doesn'y usually give it.
