Lancer RA reflash ... in a different way

Since here in PR we are far away of getting the reflash for the 04-06 Lancer RA ECU
I tried something different on a customers car

First we got a Mirage LS engine harness, Eclipse 98-99 ECU, some 4G63 sensors, EVO VIII throttle body

Second the engine harness was stripped out leaving just necessary stuff for running the engine

Third installed everything with all relays and stuff. Also a RPM switch was installed for MIVEC.

Fourth started the engine managed the idle and some stuff then went to the dyno

Idle
Dyno Run

Dyno graph


At first it was kind of hard to get it running but at the end it was easy
The ECU is flashed with a speed density ROM so there is no need of a MAF
Throttle response has greatly improved
Stock ECU and harness is in place
Gauge cluster has RPMs and Speed like stock
MIVEC starts @ 4000rpm
Dyno runs where in 4th gear

Everything works perfectly
Wanted to share this with you guys. Enjoy

What power mods have been done to the car? 182 Hp at the wheels is nice, especially if it's with just an intake and reflash...

It has:
-Intake
-Light Weight pulley
-EVO throttle body ported to 65mm
-Shaved head .060"(not a good choice)
-Adjustable Cam Gear(10 degrees retarded due to shaved head, made more power this way)
-2.5" Downpipe, stock exhaust piping with Magnaflow 2.25 oval muffler
-Speed Density reflash

Nice numbers! I have a few questions though: how much did it cost to make this project (engine harness, Eclipse ECU, sensors and EVO throttle body)? Is the EVO throttle body absolutely necessary or can you get the same result with the stock one? And, are you willing to perform this in another car? Greetings from Toa Alta

I'm trying to find a cheaper way to do it using stock engine harness
Using stock engine harness the cost would be like $300 including my work
The EVO throttle is not obligatory but you will need a drive by cable throttle body
