E-flash. Who do you recommend

This is my second Evo and sadly, I'm not too knowledgeable with ecu tuning, logging etc. I have a 04 rs with the following mods
-10.5 turbo
-dp, tp, tbe
-crushed metal bov
-02 dump
-egr block-off plate
-balance shaft delete
-mbc
-ams licp
-coolant TB bypass
-maf adapter with cone filter

I also have a 255 walbro and a set of fic 1250 waiting to be installed. I would like to have ECUflash to compliment the added mods, unfortunately I don't have a method of logging nor do I know the process if I were to have (rookie level .0001 here) this is where the experts (you guys) can hopefully provide some valuable insight and assistance. If I were to borrow a tactrix cable and download a software to log with, would that be enough for a ECUflash?

My main concern is to tweak the ECU for the mods and disable egr & raise boost cut load. Who do you guys recommend and how should I proceed?

Thank you kindly
Kyle

You need a wideband and a tactrix 2.0 to log/tune. If you wire the wideband into your ecu you can get away with doing stand alone logging with the tactrix, otherwise you will need evoscan to log on a laptop. Buy the tactrix dont borrow one, every modded evo owner should have one.

Thank you both 4b11slayer & biggiesacks! If I were to go for a street tune or pro tune instead of a eflash, do I still need the tactrix & evoscan/mitsulogger? Or can the protune be done without it? Also, how can I wire the wb directly into the ECU?


Thanks again

The instructions were fine until a certain point...my zeitronix has different wiring all together than the aem uego so I'm unclear as to how exactly tap into the ECU ��

you want the linear analog out. Depending which model you have that can be different colors.

Ok thank you, that's a step closer to figuring this out. Aside from power and ground, there is a purple and a white wire on the signal output

ok you have a ZT3 so you want the white wire.


In case you don't have a copy, this should help a lot.

The white wire is linear wb analog ouput!
Biggiesacks thanks for the much appreciated help! So now that I found the linear output wire...what is the wiring process like into the ECU? Tap which pin?

should be pin 75 C-115 White. Make sure you unplug/remove your rear 02 sensor before tapping this. Also obviously you will need to make the necessary modifications to your ROM for rear 02 simulation.
