Hi all.

Here are the latest Base Map beta versions!

v30.005 Base Map (pre-release) ZIP


Some important points to note...


- When upshifting at part throttle above 4500rpm, you should notice a lot less of the slippy-shift rubbish. The Lower Boundary Timing Map has been tweaked so that torque drops off in that region during upshift. It helps the SST do its job better. You should feel it as a clearly defined upshift start/finish. Do be aware that the SST treats 1st->2nd slightly differently to the rest... but that shift is a lot better too.

- You now have a bit of extra knock prevention built in. While spooling up fast (eg. 4000rpm WOT), there is now a timing tweak that will retard spark by an extra 1 degree. It will cease to have any effect around the time you've reached peak boost. You won't notice it from the drivers seat, but you should see less spool-up knock. Yay for less knock.

- There are now TBE and TBE_AEM versions of the AUS/EDM Base Maps. These didn't exist before. They are untested at this time. Contact me if you intend to trial these.

- Some ROM naming conventions are slightly different. All ROM naming styles should now be consistent.

- I've rationalised a couple of DTC P0139 flag settings. As of now, all TBE/TBE_AEM Base Maps have P0139 disabled. Non-TBE Base Maps won't. This is as it should be.

- "1st Gear TPS Limit" has a momentary "blip" to 50% at 1500rpm. This seems to get the clutch hooking up a little better when going WOT from idle, stationary. This is a bit experimental . If you try this out with logging enabled, please let me know if your TPS behaves itself in 1st gear - if your foot is all the way down, TPS should be at WOT all the way above 1500rpm.


Please feel free to ask questions.


It's worth noting... yes, yes, this has a "v30" number on it. No, no, that don't mean diddly... so keep your panties on. They are NOT official releases from Bryan - not until he pores over them, okays the work, uploads it and links to it from the first post. That's not the case at all. In fact, these latest Base Maps are just a couple of minor tweaks ahead of "v27.024_beta_balance_21". It's still just my spun-off beta development... with a giddily optimistic "pre-release v30" name.


Anyway, it doesn't matter what it's called. This tune rocks on my own RA. The car has got progressively more fun to drive each month I've owned it... and this map is the icing on the cake. I've pretty much run out of things to tweak, so it's GOT to be finished now?... hasn't it?...

Cheers,


Rich

 

Ok now that im wanting to mess with my files a little bit 'Feeling Froggy' When i open up my 2009_RA_USDM_BaseMap_BoostPILL_91oct_V30.005.hex file i can see all the maps but when i try to upen up my 2011_RA_USDM_BaseMap_BoostPILL_TBE_91oct_V30.005.h ex I get a Unknown rom image.

 

Awesome! I just loaded the new maps and will be taking the car for a spin in an hour or so!

 

Go to goldenevo.com

Download the 56940007 XML for 2011 USDM Ralliart. Put it in your EcuFlash "rommetadata/mitsubishi/lancer" directory.

Restart EcuFlash.

Pray.

Damn you such a good guy!

 

So its official, tomorrow at 10am im going to pick up my silver 2012 ralliart (34 miles!). Already have a tactrix cable and boost pill in the mail, im bad . Ive been reading a lot of jersey boys (i live in dutchess county ny) want to borrow a tactrix. Im going to be taking a monthly trip until christmas to hasbrouk heights NJ (close to paramus), Ill be bringing my laptop and cable and will be more than willing to help fellow evom members in the area with a flash. Ill post this in the want to borrow a tactrix cable sticky so everyone will be aware.

 

Also, and sorry for the double post, but do i need the mitsu reflash adapter for the ralliart? Correct me if im wrong but from what i read i only need the adapter for older vehicles??

 

You don't need the Mitsu Reflash Adapter.

But do get the OBD extension cable (and the microSD card). Those are very useful for 24/7 logging!


If it only has 34 miles on it, I'd suggest driving it stock for a while before reading/overwriting the ECU ROM. Make sure there aren't any surprises, etc. Maybe hold off until after the first service... just my 2c worth...

Rich

 

Thanks so much, thats what i thought. I thought the tactrix connected to the laptop with a usb cable?? Couldnt i just buy a longer one??? And i have several microsd's, how quickly would i run up a 16gb card? or would i not be able to run it up?? And yeah, it had 31 miles and then i test drove it. I need to wait for the cable to get here in the mail as well as the boost pill, so ill see how many miles i can rack on in a week .

But in all seriousness, i wouldnt want to hurt anything, is there a standard break in period for anything on the car? (sorry is this is a terribly noobish question, but i have NEVER owned a new car before. this is a first)

 

The thing is, the OP2.0 connects to the vehicle OBD port right next to your feet. It's totally kickable. If you get an OBD extension cable, you can run it permanently from the port to somewhere near the glovebox... where your OP2.0 will be safe from big feet.

If you only plan on plugging in, flashing, removing, then there's no need for an OBD cable.


Probably just see if one of yours works then.

Your log wiles will never fill a whole card, hehe.


Just talk to the dealer, and use common sense. I'd do a mix of driving until the first oil change, but would probably avoid thrashing the pants off it.

But that's just me. And I bought mine with some decent km on it, so what do I know?

Rich

 

Thanks rich, i definitely appreciate the help. I really wouldn't want my excitement to cloud my judgement. You are definitely THE MAN

 

Just installed v30 before my drive home from work and WOW are the shifts unbelievably faster. Like nearly-instant now all the way through. Going out and having some fun with the car tonight

Great job Rich & thanks again!

 

I would break in the car first before doing anything to it.

Flashed to v30 and I must say it's very nice to see less knock happening even on 94 oct. hahaha.

Cheers to Richard and Brian..

 

You mean there's a noticeable improvement in your logs?

Rich

 

I'm more than willing to wait a little while, a day of driving and a little more than half a tank of gas and I'm at 200 miles. I know rich said wait until my first oil change as a guide but is there an actual recommendation from Mitsubishi? ? I would have asked at the dealership but my salesman was an old man and the tech there had a fit of confusion when he realized there was nowhere to mount my front license plate... and took him near a half hour to figure out a drill and screws would solve his problem. So I got the hell out of there ASAP.
