Well, I finally got the time to put an EVO ECU into my car. It works great! There are a couple of things, like the RPM gauge dropping when pushing on the gas pedal, and the factory boost gauge not working, but those are minor. Overall I am very happy with the way the car runs. Now I need to do a...
I started to put my EVO ECU in today. I have the extension harness to make it easier (or so I thought). I swapped pins 8 & 22, according to the extension harness numbering, but noticed the pins aren't located in the same place as the pinout on the first page. I think I need to ignore the harness...
I'm pretty sure the engine ECU does not control the ACD. I believe the ACD has its own computer. Any EVO 8 ECU should be fine. I don't know about the 9, though, since it has MIVEC.
Here is another thread to help give guys an idea of hwo to tune using ECUflash. I know this is for an EVO 9, but the basics are the same.How To Tune an Evo - evolutionm.net
GSXDNA,If you're still having troubles with your O2 sensor, you could try turning it off by using one of the following codes:56D0 -No rear O2 no Immobilizer
5650-no rear O2, No immobilizer, No knock
5658-no rear O2, No knock sensor
56D8-no rear O2
5698, no front or rear 02
5690, no...
ECUflash can control a meth injection setup,as EVO guys have already been doing this. One additional thing it does, which I really like, is valet mode. You can set it to only go up to a preset rpm, so valet guys can't bang on the car when you have it parked.
Well I spent $110 for an EVO ECU, $100 for a harness extension (Mach V), and $90 for a tactrix cable, for a grand total of $300. I'd say that's a pretty good deal for a standalone tuning option.
Sam,Thanks for trying this for us. I, like many others, would like to know which pins were swapped to make it function. I already have an EVO VIII ECU and extension harness, so I just need to know which pins to swap. Also, where did you get the EDM ROM from? I definitely think this will be a...
