Same issue here, not activating launch maps with EVO 8 ECU.

1.5 years later...

From what I've read, 1G timing is very aggressive. The timing tables on the ECU were more to my liking I guess, I'm running the cute 14b at 15 pounds. I haven't done any real WOT runs yet, those open loop table are back to stock because they were way too lean. I guess I shouldn't be doing...

This log is from my 1990 TSI. I bought the ECU and link from a guy last week. I learned how-to reset everything back to factory, except the timing tables I left alone. They seemed far more tame than factory. I already had the TPS adjusted, and set idle to 900. My car is completely back to stock...

This is just a placeholder for my build journal. I have pictures chronologically sorted on my Facebook profile, and will be writing a document offline as I go through them. I feel venting my "struggle" on here will benefit my health somehow. :) Also, there will be two builds, or stories, on my...

Rotate the oil pump to 12 o'clock position, if rotates counter-clock wise towards the timing mark, it's right. If it rotates clockwise away, rotate it again a full turn. The low vacuum does indicate improperly timed camshafts, especially if they're stock.

I can't wait for tomorrow's update.*6,600+ tech posts? C'mon, Bud.I'll be in Sioux Falls cruising tonight with my TSI!

We need to meet up soon! I drive to SUFU everyday!

What seller did you purchase from? Godspeed?

I dipped my wheels, best stuff ever.

ECU's can do all sorts of funny things when they go. I have one that will run on two cylinders, and another that runs fine, but keeps the MPI relay active with the key off. I'm willing to be that after sitting for a while and then finally seeing power one of or many of the capacitors popped.1...

I had nice 6cm and 7cm exhaust housings I just got rid of! :(

I know 420a's valve stem seals always seem to go out..

Built in turbo timer...

Heater core hoses, Fiav hoses, coolant hoses to turbo.

At least insurance will be cheaper!

....Please, get that coolant temperature sensor hooked up. FFS. The ECU NEEDS to read this circuit.

2g have the MAP sensor on top of the intake manifold.....

The ECU can't get the mixture right for a proper start without knowing what the temperature is. Adding ether/starting is nothing like adding actual fuel.I told him how to do a proper fuel pump prime/test in earlier replies, maybe you can convince him to actually do it and report back.

It's not the fuel pump, take a look at what Link reported his coolant temperature to be.

That plug you see me holding would then go into it's proper place.

This is to answer your PM.Now given you're 6-bolt swapped in a 2g, your water neck should look like this now. I had to cut that black connector off and put on female spade connectors. Those two wires went to the open spades (in T shape) seen here, next to the single wire that feeds the gauge...

O2 housing bolts can be a pain, PB blast them well. Make sure you can't move the wastegate by hand. Wastegate and the wastegate actuator are not the same thing.

The one that goes the gauge cluster is only a single wire, the one that goes the ECU is two wires.http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m17/19Eclipse90/KnowYourThemHousing2GT-1.jpg

It's a simple resistor type, polarity doesn't matter, and should be fine.To test the fuel pump prime, run a jumper wire to the black single wire connector located near the battery to the positive terminal post. Looks like this and is the black one...

It WILL still give you a temperature reading...In the case of my 95 with a 6-bolt swap, the CTS was not hooked up and became hard to start/stumble the colder it got outside. We did a log and the ECU reported -77* for the engine temperature, wired and hook it up and it would start flawlessly.

Spyder GS is 2.4, correct? Hell, slap a DOHC turbo head on it with some ARP's.. and get to boosting!

Transfer the output shaft from the 23-spline to the other transmission. The transfer case needs it, obviously.

What is Link saying for engine temperature?

Have you done a Boost Leak Test yet?

A flashing CEL means knock. Also, I said water in the plug boots. I never said Congrats specifically.. Please, be more wise.

Possibility for rep? :)

Whoop Whoop, water/condensation in the plug wells! Pull the boots out and let dry.

Just get a battery terminal cleaner, and brush them good.

I plan on doing 20% on side windows, 5% in the rears, and 50% on the windshield with a brow. You won't believe how nice things look at night time, no glare.

The service limit is 121. Did a BLT?

I have the FP race manifold now, and the tone is just incredible. The "bigger" 7cm TD05H housing, FP manifold, and recirculated O2 housing really gave it that low growl I love so much. It's never, ever raspy and boosting is pretty loud. I love it.

1990 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Tsudo 3" exhaust - YouTubeFull 3" exhaust.. "High-flow" cat section, 2 resonators and the "fart-can" Muffler, Ebay Tsudo system. Hasn't rusted, stainless steel. I also have a tubular 3" O2 housing, didn't have my FP race manifold on yet.

Any updates? I have a 20G-TD05H-7CM, looking for decent numbers on E85.

It's behind the timing cover.

I don't have a smashed fender lol. Anything going on soon? Any body auto-x?

450's. Unless you run a SAFC, then 660's.

Well, then you tested the continuity in the wires? Coil pack and Power transistor/ignitor are next. I have spares that work.

Doesn't anyone BLT anymore?

A little bit of B&W. :thumb:

Austin can press in a new inlet pipe, mine has this bigger pipe. He also machines a nice lip, handy for BLT's. Look up the group "Turbo Lab" on Facebook (if you have it).

I got my machined td05h-20g in a medium flat rate box. ~12 dollars and change, anywhere in the U.S.

Woah, I'm late to the party. Add me on facebook, keep in touch better that way.Jesse Backer | Facebook
