    Default E38 Help...

    Hey Guys. I have a 2013 Subaru BRZ that I've swapped with an LSA, TR6060, and an E38 ECU. I attempted to start it yesterday for the first time without any success. It does not appear to be firing the fuel inhjectors. I have a noid light connected to the number 2 injector. It will briefly flash until the car sputters and then it quits flashing. If I use starting fluid, I can get it to run as long as I keep spraying starting fluid. Since it's just the fuel injectors that are not firing, I am thinking that it's a VATS related problem. I've veriefied that injectors have power during key on as well as during cranking and start. I've applied the patch, disabled the starter relay, etc. I can't really see anything that I've missed. I've attached my tune file if anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate it.

    There's more to it than just applying the patch... you have to play with the VATS parameters...

    I was able to figure out my problem. The person who sent me the tune file had put a KPA value in a spot that was looking for a PSI value. The MAP scaler is 312.50 and the offset is -11.25. Instead of -11.25 he had -77.5625 which is the KPA equivalent of -11.25 psi. So where I thought the vats was enabled therefore disabling fuel, I was mistaken. Next problem is figuring out why the cooling fans appear to operate all of the time...
