Thanks Guys! Jake just left and we were unable to get her started. In addition to no spark, im also not getting fuel into the cylinders. We tried his ECU but still no worky. We narrowed it down to the harness. Since I got it off Ebay I think my bad luck has struck again!!!

 

Sucks leaving without the car running, I hate that. Has to be the harness, we basically did a cavity search on the engine and wiring. But yea, let's compare my working harness and get this thing figured out. That bad luck will run out soon enough.

Have you guys disabled the immobilizer in the new EVO 9 ECU?

Just a thought and saw no mention of it.

 

Yea we have tried using the proper code and using FFFF, but still no dice!

 

i suspect it's the harness... look it over again and keep us updated. i also heard about the immobilizer... hopefully you guys can get this squared away.

Just another update...Today I checked to see if it was throwing any codes but none appeared. Thought i'd check just in case.

Looks like i get to re-wire! YAY!!!

 

Just got word that the guy who sold me the harness is going to send me another harness today for free!!!

 

The springs are longer (I think) on the MR clutch disc, which translates to smoother engagement IIRC.

 

any updates?

 

still waiting on the harness to get here! Taking this free time to re paint my calipers! Pics to come soon.

 

I am glad to see someone doing this and posting the progress. I have always wanted to do this but there was not enough info out there and because i am deployed alot I usually do not have the research time. Hope you figure it out. Please post all your progress.

 

First off Thank You for your service to our country!
If you ever need any info or techincal help please feel free to ask me.

Second, I agree! I researched the 8.5 swap for a month before I decided to buy the motor. Very few write ups but found out enough info and used common sense for the rest. I will continue to update far after its running. I really looking forward to my first tune at 23psi after I break her in. My goal is to break 400hp with the stock turbo, motor, head, and cams by just upgrading the fuel system. We shall see....

 

If it's not the harness I would suspect a faulty cam or crank sensor. If either of those go bad the ECU has nothing to base the timing of fuel or spark to so the injectors and plugs never fire.

 

I have considered this too but these are brand new sensors so it next to impossible. But then again nothing is impossible
