evo theft
Never seen a case of this dont know if an ecu like this even exist's. I guess if definately could be done if you found a way to remove the immobilizer or bypass it. When that happens and is common knowledge Im selling my s^$@. 1 of the main reasons I got rid of the teg even with extream layers of security.
Unfortunately with cheap cars like this it is not cost effective for the manufacturer to spend 1000 dollars or even 500 dollars putting better security precautions in. They assume you will do it if you want to after the fact.
After I get my RS I am doing the same thing I do on my integra....gps alarm/autolock/removable locking steering wheel hub/kill switches and most important of all a garage.

RAVELCO! Then they would have to have a flatbed! www.ravelco.com
On September 25, 2001 in Mexico City, Mexico, the RAVELCO Anti Theft Device was tested by CESVI-MEXICO, a company owned by the seven major insurance companies in Mexico. They tried to hot-wire the most stolen vehicle in Mexico City, a 2002 Nissan Sentra that had a RAVELCO installed on it. The CESVI Company said they would approve the RAVELCO if it passed the 8 minute test. They said no theft device or alarm ever took more than 3 minutes to bypass. After cutting wires and trying for 35 minutes they finally gave up. The next day they had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealer to get it rewired and able to start! Needless to say the RAVELCO was approved. The RAVELCO is the only anti theft device recognized in Mexico for a discount on your insurance. With over 29 million people in Mexico City alone and nearly 200 vehicles stolen per day, the people at CESVI Company should know what does and does not work when it comes to auto theft. No alarm, tracking system or any other anti theft device is approved in Mexico. Of course this makes us at RAVELCO very proud.

I will put this gently, the immobilizer does not do anything. The car can be started without the key and it is not very complicated. A kill switch and removable steering wheel are both good but then again cannot stop a theft just slow it down. IMO the best offense is recovery meaning a gps locator you control, IE. not lojack! By the time the cops go through the process of locating your car with loack most likely its already been stripped. Get a gps system you can access through your phone/online and the minute you notice the theft track the car.
Also when someone is parting out an evo ask questions because their aren't many places people can sell our parts.

You could put in a switch too. Either for the ignition or the fuel pump.
haha in my 1996 tacoma we lost the key in lakegeorge so with a flat head screw driver we took apart the ignition and in about 3 minutes we had the truck running from what ive seen in the evo looks to be just as easy as the tacoma the only thing i could see stopping you is the locking steering wheel in the tacoma it would lock if you wiggled it in the evo it locks when the car is shut off
i havent investigated this yet but im sure its a bit more advanced
