wtf - again? what happened?

 

The oil line to the oil cooler (push fit) came off, and it dumped enough oil and pressure to bring the oil pressure light on

 

oh... so no damage then (hopefully)

not having good luck are u?

 

Won't know until I replace the oil line, and put some oil in it, but Hopefully it will be ok.

Nah think my luck ran out at the end of last year.

Maybe next yr will be better for me

 

hopefully its fine

 

Cheers mate, I have my fingers and toes crossed.

 

Any news on this??
Tried it on the 88840017, as al lupo said, -20 seems to be the max. If you try to go lower, the logs show 50*.

There must be another place in the ecu code where it prevents you to go lower than -20

 

bump

 

I suggested a user try 0xffff in the word value to see if it lets him retard more.

Not sure how you'd log it though or if there are other limits.

 

Didn't work out. In any case, even before reaching 0xff, the ecu allows you to run -20 (at 0xd4 if i remember correctly). Going from 0xd4 to 0xff, the timing limit is still -20.

 

Bringing this thread back up....

I have the 96530706 rom, and i changed the retard limit upto 255, and it is only retarding -10 degreees.
has anyone else had success getting it lower than -10?

with the launch maps, i was able to build 15psi at 5500 rpm. that compares to 6-8 psi before.

 

Same here. I'd like to hear an answer to that question.

 

BEZ had also commented on this on the ative matrix forums

i dont see how anyone else got lower than -10..

 

Tephra,
maybe the rom that you got from BEZ had a few other things modified in it to allow you to run -15 degrees?

 

With my ecu 96530006, i change adress 0x173e to 230 and no gain in log to -15 or -17 degress, not work this patch for evo 8, other solution please!! Only -10 i need -17 minimun.
