i just picked up an Evo VIII and i have a tactrix cable(for a subaru) and ECU Flash. Can i use that tactrix cable and still flash to my Mitsu ECU? where can i find maps and reqs. for each map?

 

im pretty sure the cable is the same. try looking around.. there is tons of info at your fingertips

 

The cable may not be the same ... as long as you have te secondary, single-wire white plug with the Tactrix it should work.

We don't post many maps here. We are more about teaching you how to modify your own map. I know there are a few ROMs on Aktive Matrix.

 

yea i don't have the secondary single wire thing. anyway i can ghetto one up?

 

Everything you need to know is right here.

 

Is ecu rom and engine stock?

First thing is setup your WB and datalogger. If MBC is fitted, the fuel cut load thing in the turbo tables must be set to avoid fuel cut - like 319 load and 1000 ms or something. I once forgot to reset it back and hit fuel cut, for some reason the ecu endured some trauma from this episode and the logger would report a bizarre sample for several months -still plugging along though.

Back to your goal here, I think that the only thing needed is an optimized AFR and timing (you will see this varies here and will depend on what you already know) while under knock surveillance using 2 byte load to accurately tweak these powerful essentials. The stock evo maps are defaulted to withstand accidental 87 octane use so you have your work cut out for you with just that.

Welcome

 

Bone stock, i'm trying to find a cheap ebay down pipe right now or a test pipe.

 

You could likely ghetto one up if you could source the plug from somewhere. I believe it's a single ground wire, so it's not a big deal.
