Seriously, you're amazing.

I love this stuff, I just don't have any ability to do the actual "hacking" things.

If you need testing though, you know where to find me! Guess I'll need to pry off the stupid anti tamper shield on the ECU. I can't believe they did that, stupid Canada.

does the anti tamper cover the plugs as well?

if it doesn't you can just leave it.

Yeah, that is the only thing it covers. It's mean.

Bolted on with shear bolts too, takes some dremelling to actually get off.

Then you get your dremel

We dealt with that on a local X, I needed to bench the ECU. Discovered that the first step of removing the ECU was acually the hardest part

correcto..

I am still working out which path I will go for USDM (IC wiring, or using the fuel tank temp OR pressure input)

I prefer 1 solution for ALL regions, but whatever is easiest

hi tephra. just throwing it out there that I'd love to test the first X tephra-mod. (knock-cel is all I could test... don't need map switching just yet).

fostytou(now my roommate) is probably picking up an X in the next day or 3... we'll have two X's under one roof (-: both will probably be going E85 this summer as well...

so with #2, its working now with the fuel tank pressure input... BUT this isn't very easy on USDM.

So on USDM I might use the IC setup - which means you will need a 5v relay to switch +12v to the IC input...

most meth failsafes are +5v, the IC will expect +12v...

wont be too complicated
Will this be available for the 09-10 ralliarts (USDM)?

quick q:

how useful will people find an "Alt Cranking Enrichment Map"?

if people will use it for E85 I want to implement it now rather than later :P
