Secondary Air INJ w/ECUflash+EVO X
Secondary Air INJ w/ECUflash+EVO X
Greetings from peaceful Baltimore City, MD (lol)
So has anyone figured out a solution to get this happening with the EVO X using ECUflash? I searched and found some threads pertaining to OEM evo ix als and a thread that ended up being really general and all over the place. In either case they didn't seem to go anywhere.
I was looking at old WRC stuff and how MITSU used a ported runner air injection system on their cars to accomplish anti lag during part throttle and other situations.
I think it would be cool to get a working setup on the 4b11t. It would be even better to try and run it with a stock ecu and ecuflash. Im still trying to understand what the requirements would be for ecu control over such a system. It really doesnt matter to me if it was done like the oem mitsubishi's in WRC or a fully novel design. The idea is to make a evolution X run switchable, secondary air injection for anti lag during part throttle-aggressive driving scenarios. (preferably with a stock ecu)
I Think there may be aftermarket kits you can buy, as well as multiple ways of getting metered-bypassed-compressor air flowing into the exhaust manifold. So that essentially leaves the software side of it. I will spare boring everyone with how i think it could be done with ECUflash & the stock ecu.
The bottom line is that given what the oem ecu can do with the Tephra V3 mod, it should have the ability to control an SAI anti lag system. So i guess my question's should be: Has anyone done it? Is there any point in doing it? Do you think ECUflash would run it successfully without having to doing any ridiculous canbus sniffing or coding? What are your overall thoughts on it?
To be clear im talking specifically about a system that uses the secondary air injection method, in order to achieve reduced turbocharger boost lag, while the car is under certain conditions, aside from a drag style static launch. I know the term Anti Lag can refer to a variety of methods used to increase boost response for specific scenarios. I'm interested in the ALS that maintains boost when your driving on a track or a rally stage.
BTW, if anyone has any thoughts on a alternative method for accomplishing the same task, without pushing air through the engine first, i wouldn't mind hearing about it. Having it work with the cruise control master switch, like the way you switch Alt maps with Tephra, would be really ideal. Besides having that quick response, I can't deny that the show off side of me would love the sound it makes as well!
Anyway, thanks to anyone who takes the time to actually skim through this post. If i failed to find any information during my search, i apologize in advance. I actually try not to waste your time by asking about things that have been covered. In addition, im aware that i can be very "long winded". Im also trying to stop doing that. I blame it on being an engineer who doesn't get to conversate about the minutiae of mechanics very often. Please go easy.
THANKS AGAIN -WILL

It would probably be easier to implement something like porsche's "Dynamic boost" form of anti-lag. Since the X is already drive by wire it would only need software. https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...tilag-718-911/
