Still working great for me

 

thats awesome!! do we have to wait until the 5.8 release before we can get a hold of this ROM + patch?

 

Tephra has pulled the rom, due to a bug in it, not sure what the bug is, but it isn't something i've come across.

Having said that, I don't use some of the features, such as NLTS or AUTOICS for map switching, so the bug could be in that part of the code.

Best off waiting till tephra has ported it over to 5.8

 

Hi Dave, when the 5.8 for 88580014?

 

Tephara -

I put the 94170015 V5.8 on my car last night. I did not push the car very hard; I just did a small shake down drive...... to go work on another evo..... but I played with the NLTS, it appears to be working for me. I think I have issues with the sensor location and my driving style, I tend to slip the clutch slightly, which disengages the clutch sensor and allows full revving. When I systematically engaged and disengaged the clutch, and kept my foot on the accelerator, the NLTS worked perfectly. I should note if anyone is testing this, I thought it was not working on several instances, but it turns out it was me just lifting off the throttle by habit. It was very hard for me to trust keeping my foot down and pushing in the clutch :-)

The only issue I have is with valet mode. I not sure if this how it is intended to be or not. My car is in valet mode by default. I have to push the gas down and disable the valet mode every time I turn the car off and restart. Is this intended to be like this, or am I missing a setting? In all actuality it’s not really a bad feature. I kept the RPM at 100 and the car dies every time, it is an added safety feature, anti-theft.

I plan to do further testing shortly, I just want to post my initial thoughts before I go on vacation for the 4th of July.

 

i believe the valet mode can be changed by a setting in ecuflash to either be enabled or disabled on startup

 

Ok thanks. I figured that it would be, I didn't have time to play with to much before I had to leave, and didn't get home till really late...... I basicly checked to make sure everything installed properly, and the car was acking
"normal" then I had to run....

 

yeah sounds like u have autovalet turned on

enabled valet mode = turns the whole system on or off
enable autovalet = always require valet to be turned off when you get in the car

 

I just upgraded from 941700008 v4.2 to 94170015 v5.8 and all is well so far. I've just been making sure the base tune is working properly and haven't really tested any of the special features yet. Thanks for all your hard work tephra, it really is appreciated.

 

can you please make 5.8 for the 96400007 or 96400008 ecu? i am ready to test it.

 

A question for someone willing to help. If I want to switch my 9417008 rom over to 94170015 V5.8 rom due i just open my original 9417008 rom delete the contents and paste the 94170015 rom xml into my blank 9417008 rom ?

Thanks guys.

 

iirc,

just put the info for your car in an 0015 rom and load it in your ecu

 

Thanks. If I have added to my xml in 9417008 can i paste what i need into the 0015 rom without problems ? I should right because there the same ? I am talking about the jdm map xml add-on's , ecu periphery, 3-d mut table and 2 byte load.

 

When tephra writes "remove all old XML" does he mean remove everything between "rom" and "/rom" and just post his new XML inbetween? Or, does he mean remove any CHANGES we have made to the stock XML but leave all the regular stuff (like the knock tables, etc) there?

 

I just finished switching over all my maps and settings to the 5.8. After cruising around for 10 mins everything seems ok. Thanks again Tephra.
Smogrunner, He means remove all additional xml tables you added previously. You can just redownload ecuflash and use the fresh xml and add what he has in his txt file. Just cut paste it on at the end before /rom. Don't forget the few things in the evo9base xml that need changing.
