Default Haltech Red Box Question

So, I have a new to Redbox but I need some help since I haven't heard back from Haltech yet.

1st Problem, I cant see my A/F ratios my stock widebands. W/ Uprev I could see them can you just not see them with Haltech? Do I need to wire wide bands directly into my haltech if so what wires I don't see them in the manual.

2nd Problem, I don't have a VE table when I set it up to tune Via VE. The internal MAP sensor is used as the Fuel Load Indicator. Am I dumb? All I see is the fuel base map. Is that what I'm supposed to use to correct my A/F Ratio? If so am I really tuning via VE?

3rd Problem not really realated to haltech but, for those who have installed BC stage 2 cams. Do you hear or feel lope when you let your car idle? I notice mine a decent amount I'm thinking it may be something messed up internally (Bent valves )

1. are you on the original harness that shipped with? reason i ask is because the redbox shipped with a harness that was hardwired to the oem o2 pins in the oem ECU connector. Well...not all 350z have the luxury of wideband o2 from the factory. The harness with the silver box had additional auxillary pins so that oem or aftermarket widebands could be installed. Those pins go to same pins on the haltech and then you calibrate it. Also i believe you have to enable them in the software

2. Base fuel table is your VE table

3. My BC2 dont feel or sound too lopey but then again i set my idle to 1k

I have the redbox, thats hardwired to oem sensors. Mine has factory widebands I've verified this. Ill have to do some more looking into the software then.

Thanks man i was thinking it would be a percent table.

Does it shake your car? My car kind of shakes at 700-800 rpms i was thinking bent valaves but i dont hear anything.

Well i was just told that i need a wideband controller to get my haltech to read A/F ratio's... since the redbox doesy talk to the stock ecu it cant get any values from it i should have stuck with up-rev.....

I had to use a controller with my silver box because my car is an 03.


Wonder why the red box came wired to the OEM widebands but couldn't use them? sounds like a goof on haltechs part if so.

The oem ecu is the controller for the heater circuit/supply voltage for the oem sensors...the haltech just needs to take the feedback voltage and convert to afr/lamda.

The haltech intercepts most of the signals by way of the patch harness. Some of the signals are straight pass through.

or you might recognize this as the old haltech dual widebands (no gauge on this one and cost more)

Yeah all you need is a 0-5v signal and then you can map the points in the haltech for each end.
