That's not entirely accurate. We ran into a significant issue late last week that required us to halt sales as we worked through those issues. We weren't sure what was possible yet or what direction we wanted to take. All we knew was that we were suddenly stopped in our tracks and had to...
Yes, we discontinued v3lite a few years ago when the flash chips we use to build our modules were no longer available even on the gray aftermarket.... Given a fixed supply of flash modules, it made it impossible to keep offering discounted packages. We would just end up running out of chips...
E-mail received. I'm back up to 39. :)Actually, now that I have your e-mail address I can see what happened and, in fact, your original attempt to contact us was from a yahoo.com e-mail address and it did get caught up in this 550-5.7.1 DMARC policy thing. Ugh. And looking back now I see...
Thanks Chump-a-lumpa-umpa-whatcha.Yes, we are most certainly still in business. In fact, we're some how busier this year than the last two years! I'm easily answering 30-40 e-mails a day and from the sounds of this thread, there are still some I'm not even getting! Ugh. There's no way I...
It's simply a difference in the specific drive transistor used in the EVO8 ECU vs. the DSM ECU. There is no risk running an EVO8 injector with a DSM ECU. You simply need to use dead time values measured with a DSM ECU driver.
Must...post...log. :) Sorry, but like a few before have said, a log of the problem is a must. I kid you not when I say people can get 50 times more information from a 10-second log showing the problem than anyone could possibly type up trying to describe it. Sometimes you don't even know...
Yes, most definitely.And to clarify, only the laptop application is freely downloadable off our website. The software inside the ECU is certainly not.Thomas Dorris

You'll need to post a log and let's see how you've got it all configured. You can also try logging various WGS parameters in the ECU to make sure it's doing what you're expecting.Thomas Dorris

Unfortunately, I don't think it will.The fact that the check engine light is staying lit and the boost doesn't move at all is a clear sign that the ECU is not running. If the ECU isn't running, then it's not sending out codes on the diagnostic pin and it's not going to communicate with the...
I know this thread is a bit dated, but for the archives I wanted to mention a couple things that weren't brought up before.First, we do have a page on running ECMLink in a 98/99 DSM along with a complete explanation of the issues and options.Use ECMLink in a 98/99 DSMSecond, we can also...
You have your clutch cut wire connected to the ECU but you haven't told the ECU. I can see this by looking at the A/T D Pin log parameter. Our install instructions include the following statement:With the clutchcut adapter installed, if clutch-cut operation is not desired, it should be...
Some results for these EVO8 injectors. First, a huge THANKS to MJcanada! You may not appreciate how difficult it is to get people to follow through on offers to send stuff in sometimes. So when someone does, it deserves a special mention.He sent two complete sets of EVO8/9 injectors. So I...
I think I understand what you're saying. And, yeah, if you want, that would be even better.Yeah, sorta. It's not listed on our website because I was never SURE it was making a difference. For some people, it seemed to help a lot knowing the individual deadtime values for each injector...
Your flash module is installed backwards. There is an outline on the PCB showing proper orientation. There's a small notch on the flash module and a notch in this outline. The flash module should have been installed so that its notch matched the notch on the PCB. There's also a notch in the...

Frederick, MD 21702I'll post up results either to this thread or a new thread. If the OP wants a "retest" of his injectors with DSM drivers and defined fluid/temperature/pressure along with a full battery voltage offset table, send...
There's so much myth and mystery surrounding EVO8 injectors...The EVO8 ECU code is configured to treat them like they flow 545 cc/min @ 42.6psi (base pressure on EVO8, 294 kPa). So at 43.5psi, they should flow 550 cc/min. I can't imagine a stock set really flowing 640 cc/min without some...
I'll second this question. That's really all you care about. What voltage does it put out at a known pressure (i.e., engine off = atmospheric pressure = "about" 14.7 psia)...that'll tell you more about what you've got than all of our combined head scratching might.To view the voltage, add...
A ruptured diaphragm in the fuel pressure regulator could explain a lot of this. Fuel could have flowed back into the intake manifold via the vacuum line and basically filled/flooded *everything* with fuel.
In particular, make sure there is *nothing* else coming into the ECU input other than the MTX-L output.I just heard back from Innovate with confirmation that a 1+ second response time is highly unusual. He basically said he had never heard of that happening before but if they needed to...
For the record, he just posted a screen grab from the MTX-L manual. That's not necessarily what his particular unit is configured for. Regardless, as you said, even if he was set to the slowest option (1/3 second), that still doesn't explain the 1+ second responses.I've got a call into...
I'm just listed as a "supporting vendor". You're the wiseguy...I mean wiseman. :sneaky:I looked at the MTX-L manual just now. In the "advanced" settings section of the MTX-L configuration, there's a "response speed" option. But the options are 1/12 sec, 1/6 sec and 1/3 sec. Definitely...
OK, now that you've mentioned specifically what it is you're looking at, that does seem crazy. Your previous comments were just about the "square wave" nature of the "funky" signal. :) So I was referring only to the shape of the signal, not so much the specifics.The general shape is just...
Craig, that appears to just be the sample interval of the MTX-L. I've attached a shot from another MTX-L user here.Certainly not the fastest output around, but (as I'm sure you know) that alone doesn't mean it's inaccurate necessarily. It just updates its output more slowly than the...
Also consider watching our demo videos. Near the end of the "Captured and Display Values" video there's an example of how to add an aftermarket sensor for logging.Thomas Dorris

Could be a loose knock sensor. I had my 95 Talon do that same thing when the knock sensor was rattling around loose.Could be a bad knock sensor.Could be base timing is way off.Could be a bad knock board inside the ECU (although I don't think we've ever seen that before).Could be some...
I believe we will be getting Cody's injectors in here shortly from FIC for some more in-depth testing. Will see what we find. This may be a case of using injectors that just aren't sized well for your application or it may be a problem elsewhere in the system or it may be a problem with one or...
Accurate as in reading the same A/F ratio as if it were in the front O2 location? That's certainly fine. The air to fuel ratio isn't changing between those two points unless you have an exhaust leak.Being installed in the rear O2 will, however, introduce a delay in the reading just due to...
It's a minor point that won't address the larger problem you're having, but we actually recommend running the white wire to sensor ground and the blue wire to chassis ground.LC1Install pageThomas Dorris
Are you sure those are 1350 injectors? I don't see anything to suggest a fuel pressure issue. That would normally show up as an uncontrolled lean out that got worse as fuel demand increased. But your first log shows a pretty constant (although lean) AFR even as fuel demand went from 2500...
When running SD, the MAFComp table would normally never be used. It's normally disabled by default with that "Disable MAF compensation w/SD operation" checkbox on the MAFComp dialog.If that checkbox is checked, you can ignore the MAFComp table entirely.Not normally, no.Just check that...
More info here:injdata-overview [ECMTuning - wiki]It's a test stand we built specifically for doing high resolution measurements of injector flow rates with various configurations using various drivers. The default driver, of course, is our DSM ECU driver. :) But anything *could* be used...
'tis true. For general reference, we tend to tell people that you can expect a change in deadtime to have twice the effect on mixture at idle that it would have at cruise because effective pulsewidth at idle is half that of cruise. This effect certainly decreases as effective pulsewidth...
Which is actually not that far off from what I measured on my own 2150s. If I were to "line them up" at idle flow (more on that below), the average I saw was about 765 usecs.But that ranged from one injector at 730 to another at 810. So you have about a 70-80 usec spread there.With the...
Eh, it's not a big deal either way. We'll raise the price if we have to. But "just raise the price" isn't exactly as easy as it sounds for the reasons I've already stated.Thomas Dorris

First, know that I do respect your opinion on many things. You're one of the more knowledgeable, consistent and reasonable people I've seen on any forum, not just this one.But on this particular topic, you're only seeing and presenting one side of the issue. It's just not that simple. I've...
I'm pleasantly surprised at the reports so far. It seems like this stand might actually be doing some good after all. :)If anyone is wanting a good read on what we're learning and trying to do here, this page is a good starting point.injdata-overview [ECMTuning - wiki]Although I...
That's a reasonably good test. If the problem is inside the ECU, then cutting that wire should at least make the problem less likely to happen. But it can still happen, depending on what the MAF ends up "seeing" on that input with nothing driving it either way.Thomas Dorris
It really looks like a bad MAF reset output from the ECU to me. Here's what this will typically look like (taken from your log file).It's usually caused by a blown MAF reset output transistor inside the ECU (and typically only on 2G ECUs). This forces the MAF sensor into some mode where...
Nobody. That 1G non-EPROM conversion board is a custom design that took us about a year's worth of development to pull off. Nobody else really puts that kind of R&D into these ECUs anymore. So I doubt anyone else is going to have anything similar.I'm with some of the guys above, though...
