Introduction
Good day, all.
I decided to sign up as I research a project to graduate from the DSM ECU and eventually pick up an Evo. I'm currently running SD on my 1gb and have done quite a bit of hex programming and patching and tuning.
I'm ready to get something that has a few more cycles and can get more polls in the logs. The Evo8 ecu seems a good option and I need to find as much information as I can on running a solid SD setup for daily driving and AutoX
I spend as many weekends as I can at the local cart track, where the car club holds the AutoX. I have a little girl and a real job now, so sometimes it's hard to get out there even though I don't work weekends.
As for my car, I'm driving a '94 Eclipse GSX (which everyone at the track calls a Talon).
It's daily driven and I've done a fair amount, while mostly pieced together in little steps over the past 6 years or so. I just finished my MBA this summer, so I really haven't had much time or money, let along a garage. I usually have to have the vehicle in running order or feel the wrath of my wife and/or landlords, so pretty limited on big jobs at the moment.
One weekend I decided to sneak a transmission swap and ended up snowing and raining and then I had the wrong output shaft/transfer case combination.
I've posted so many build threads and then had the site go under, I don't care to post an entire one from scratch, so I have pieces here and there. Cardomain is updated occasionally, but it has most of everything I've done.
The short version: 1g 6-bolt, 2g head, RVR InMani, E3 16g, FP DSM ExMani, 3" Pipes, 950cc FIC, K-sports... and supporting mods. The rest is piddly chit that you never know if it was worth it other than it hasn't broken anything else yet.
Old VS New?
Latest was me putting on some new rubber. Moved up to 255/55/17's with flared fenders and 15mm spacers. Pics to come when I'm not at work.

I forgot to mention that I've been tuning with TunerPro and an Ostrich to program my ECU.
I'm a moderator over at DSMECU.com and have been providing a good bit of support to other users. I've done quite a bit of research and some code development for getting a good tune on that system.
I started out with swapping pieces of code by hex from the binaries, and then to swapping chips to tune, to using the emulator and interface tuning, to using the full-function TPro. I put together little clips of code to control things that I wanted and wrote up a couple of algorithms for others to customize their own functionality to various solenoid controls.
One of the biggest downfalls of that setup is the 20-year-old computer. The more code you put in there, it becomes noticeable with far slower operation and instability. Getting only 4-5 polls per second for 8 inputs is killing me when I try to tune without losing a lot of resolution through smoothing functions.
