the MAP sensor plugs right into the UTEC, as does the map switch. Self explanatory.
The black wire is for the ground, and the red wire is for the negative trigger if you want the UTEC to control something.

The knock light is not for our car, so you can return that.

The ZT2 is completely separate and just needs power and ground.

I have none of the utec stuff yet, its all payed for and on the way, Why is it not for our cars?
pg. 28 says "Shift Light lets you set the 3 RPM points at which to turn on the optional three color shift
light."

Zt-2 is completely seperate, i see that now but just wanted the Utec Boost sensor/solenoid to show up what my psi was on the LCD.. Im still unsure if this will happen, it just depends on the Zt-2 recognizing the utec boost sensor

You will need a separate boost sensor if you want a boost display. The one for the UTEC is for the UTEC only. The only way to see it's value is by datalogging the UTEC with a laptop.

shift light def doesnt work with the 350z UTEC. thats for the suby's.

and techincally if the UTEC MAP sensor is a 0-5V, then you should be able to wire it into the ZT2, if the ZT2 has programmable inputs.

It does have 0-5V wire-able inputs
https://my350z.com/forum/tuning/5231...-utec-ems.html

Would i wire the MAP sensor or the Boost controller up ?

And shift light is independent to the Utec, its wired up completely separate and not made for the Utec in anyway, is that what you mean by not working with Utec? Its made to wire in to stock knock sensor or you can buy a bosh knock sensor and wire it to a car that doesnt have a knock sensor

Thanks also djamps

Thanks, I will check that out!
