Installing a PCIII on an 05

Got it all apart and noticed that one of the o2 plugs is Red and not Black, as shown in the picture here



here are the ones I found


do I have the right o2 plugs?

 

Correct me if i'm wrong......you are on the right side of the bike? If you look closely at the photos hijacked from VFRD, you will see that the plugs are on the LEFT side of the bike - remove the left fairing and just follow the o2 sensor wires from the exhaust back and you will find the plugs. The plug you show in your picture is for the ecm, this is where the PCIII is connected inline between these two plugs. The big grey one....

 

You are looking at two totally different plugs.

The first pics are the O2 plugs that were previously connected to your sensors.

Your pic is of the plug for the EFI (fuel inj). That is the plug that you use for your pcIII.

When you are done hooking up your pcIII, then you can put your resistors (or Dyno O2 sensor eliminators) on the O2 harnesses.

 

As Norcal and gwolever just said, you're on the wrong side of the bike. I just did this mod 2 weekends ago to my 06, and if you remove the left side fairing, get on your belly, and look at the Cat under the bike, you'll see two wires running from the sensors on the exhaust (there are 2 O2 sensors plugged in). Trace these back to just in front of the shifter, and you'll see a grouping of wires and connectors encased in a sleeve. Unplug the O2 sensor wires, and those are the connectors that you will use to 'plug', or fool, your O2 system.

ok, thanks guys for your replies. I knew something wasn't right and didn't want to proceed any further untill I talked to you all. ... :redface:
GeorgiaRider - TY! -- did you pipe your bike? if so, what map did you go with on the PCIII?

Norcal - sorry bout the hijack ...desperate times .... ---thanks for your help

gwolever - thanks for your post/help - I appreciate it.

thanks guys.

 

I did a Remus, PCIII, O2 elim, and a K&N all at once. I had the PCIII setup from the factory with this setup (although they used staintunes). I've run it now for about 2 weeks so it's time to start 'messing' with the settings to see if I can tune it in a little better.
Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help.

I think it's great that you hijacked the photos! I call that being resourceful! Glad you got it sorted. :smile:

 

No problem. I know how it is when you spend a sh**load of money for these mods, you don't want to mess it up.

I just installed my PCIII a few weeks ago. That with the Motad SS headers, Micron CF exhausts, and a K&N filter. I used a map for K&N, catless headers, and Staintunes. She runs like a banshee now.

I'm glad you got it all worked out with no mishaps. Enjoy.

 

That staintune map seems to be the popular one. I emailed pwr cmndr with my setup (LV, o2 elims, stock air, and Jay had this to say: I have not yet had this system here to map. However, I would recommend map #111-008. This map is for the Leo Vince slip on. I say that because, regardless of manufacture (even different makes of exhaust from the same company), slip on exhaust have close to the same flow. This should get you tuned in pretty close. --Jay Carpenter, Las Vegas Nevada ext 1112
I asked about the staintune map for the 2002, 111-004, and he said : Yes you can use that map 111-004. That would also be a good choice. You can also see in the PC software under a map comparison what the difference is between the two. The 111-004 is a richer map.
I loaded the 004 map and will test it out just as soon as it stops raining :frown:

Banshee!! lol!!

 

If you have stock headers, go to VFRDiscussion and download Cozye's map. You'll be glad you did. I'm running it right now, but will be switching to one of a couple other maps once my '99 headers go on.

 

I read the thread and most seem to be happy with that one. The things I am most concerned with are the 5k rpm stall/fade, the throttle snatch when you twist throttle coming out of a corner and of course the vtec transition.
Did it cure/smooth all of those things for you?

 

PCIII and cozies map smoothed out all the rough edges and the Leo's sound great w/out the innards. :biggrin:

 

got everything put together, recall is done, and took out the baffles which makes a huge difference. Very happy with the sound now. Running cozies map with no hiccups
