ECUflash,280's,1000cc, & 35r!
 

So a long while ago, i started a thread about 35r and ECU flash, seeing that there are quite a few people that are running the stock ECU and a 35r and making decent power. I however havent done this on the stock ecu,, and its seems that Im doing everything it doesnt like:
Cams w/ 280 grind intake exhuast.
GT35r
1000cc injectors
there are a slew of other things done to the motor but for agrument sakes let keep it basic. I have the same precision 35r used by every other retailer out there. I have a set of very popular 1000cc injectors.... so impedance/flowrate should be around the same if not identical to other. And my cams are simliar to every other 280 cam out there. For now im going to be running it on pump gas 93 octance. from that same tursted station i have been using for 2 years now! boost will be set to about 20-22 psi
I plan on tuning this myself. Just to get more falimiar with the stock ECU and learn a few things.
Added this to make my goals more clear!
Soooo.... The point of this post would be to use this as a guide for people in the future and really document my progress as well as others. I think that the stock ECU is capable of alot of things. Maybe its cause Im used to DSM Link! I was even thinking of rewiring my ECU to accept the 95+ DSM Eprom. again some of this is a rant, but im sure you get the idea. Im going to need some help here and there So all are welcome !

im going to pick up the car today and start the tune so this should be interesting!

Was there a point to this post?

Where you getting the work done?

hehe.. Sounds like a familiar combination.. ;)

FWIW I've had really good drivability with this combination..

Your not the brightest crayon in the box now are you Scroke?

Yes, i hope i get the same results you did, its going to be diffucult to tune the 1000ccs properly. Thats the one thing that im worried about . {thumbup}

Ahhhh.

Scorke

You posted the fact that you are going to get it dynoed right as I was posting my first message, and if you read your first post it really makes 0 sense as to what you are asking or questioning or telling us about.

I've installed & tuned my EVO with a 35r & 1000cc injectors, basically the same setup as you less the 280 cams (have them, just not installed yet). The car idles and drives 100% like stock with this setup now that everything is dialed in fuel trim wise. you're going to have a lot of fun with that setup, keep us posted on your reults... I remember your original post.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :D

Well, my concern is now that we are in Boston, we're coming up on a season change. Which is Great. Cause now is the worst time for the motor and tune to get ALL of its winter cold start ups over with and some hot starts as well. My point is that i want to have a very well balanced ECU tune that i can drive around everyday and not worry about drivablility TOO much. ( i know there are going to be some)

Right, you have helped me out quite a bit, and I will be posting on your Active Matrix forums as well. Im just so busy with work and the little side project that i dont have much time to get to posting lately. I'll get you more info when the cars outta the garage :)

Please let me know where in my post you get the funky idea im getting it Dyno'd? Havent you learned that Assumption doesnt get you very far?

{thumbup} {thumbup} Thanks always nice to know that im not the only one who found that funny!

Ahh.... Backyard......Me and a friends farther are the ones tackling the project. Sooo its alittle interesting to see what the outcome will be! :mitsu:

Well the fact that your getting it tuned pointed me towards that assumption, and if your putting all this money into your car and not bothering to strap it to a dyno I would be very surprised and shocked.

Good luck with it!

actually. didnt get a hold of the car, but uploaded a quick map that i got from a fellow member to make my fist startup alittle easier. So far i raised the idle, scaled to about 1000, but taking some fuel out... I checked Compression across the board. Looks great. Got a brand new set of Sparkers! Vaccum lines are tight, did a pressure test, to 50 psi that worked out. Got all new T Bolt clamps and hosing. I missing anything ?

I would love to see what it does. But right now, im just interested in STARTING THE CAR! and getting it to idle correctly. You know....STEP 1 !
