My last 3-4 emails to Reverant in the past few weeks went unreplied so reaching out here in case anyone else can help.

I'm trying to wire up VICS on my MS3Basic. Looking at wiring diagrams, I figure I have to give it a 12v source and a output from the ECU. I've found a few threads where Rev mentioned using InjectorH to drive VICS/VTCS. However, none of the wires on his DB37 connectors correlate to injector anything. Anyone know which wire is the right one for this output ?



Thanks.

 

is VICS not prewired?

 

18, 19, 20, and 37 can all be used for VICS/VTCS.

If he has anything but a 99-00, it won't be pre-wired. Although I've heard rumors that Rev's Basics control VTCS on 01-05 cars, and it's the same plug IIRC.

I've ran into this issue with MS builders before, MSPNPpro especially. I think it's the people that really know the circuitry of the board, not realizing everyone else doesn't. Output and input pins in documentation and/or rev's explanations don't always match up.

 

I'm still trying to wrap my head around having to "wire in VICS" on a PNP...

 

Thanks Curly / Braineack. My version is for a 90-93 so I think VICS is not prewired.

As you said, documentation is lacking. Lets say for example I wire it up to wire #37 ( FIDLE Programmable Output ). What output port do I select inside TS to send signals to that wire ? Right now I'm unable to find anything that map a name on those 4 output wires to a port name.

 

what I would suggest is going to the programmable inputs/output screen.

find an option on that list that's both unused and available on the sheet you posted in #1.

Take FIDLE for example, it should be in there.

You want to setup the output to something like:

power ON
Active OFF
rpm < 5252 hysteresis 10 (IIRC)


then wire FIDLE to the VICS solenoid ground. Best would be wiring the VICS solenoid directly to your purge canister solenoid plug and utilizing stock wiring -- but that would require cracking open the unit to connect FIDLE to the correct ECU pin.

 

Okay thanks for both your help.

Its actually in there and pretty straight forward. My problem was that I was trying to figure some of this TS stuff out BEFORE I go into the garage and connect it to the car. So I downloaded a tune / map from DIY to play with. The DIY map didn't have those options under that input / output screen .. but when connected to my actual MS3Basic, it did show up.
