probably the wrong place to put this.......

1998 rvr hyper-gear x3

td05 turbo fitted
BIg front mount ic
mushroom air filter
3 1/2 inch straight pipe s/s
evo 4 exhaust manifold
running std 410 injectors (option to fit 560)

its a standard ecu at the mo but the questions are
1, am i going to kill it if i dont get it mapped?
2, is there less chance of killing it if we just stick the 560's in?
3, what is the ecu the same as?
4, what is the proceedure for talking to the ecu? i have various cables from the past any suggestions? what will work?

kwp2000
galletto 1260
gendan (vauxhall based, but still iso9141)
universal obd reader (can edit vendor etc to trick s/w)
rs232 based op-com cable runs com not usb (can usb it via my dakota serial hub)

is it pure obd to read log flash? or do i need connections from white socket next to the obd plug?
OR do i use eprom programmer on ic thats been removed?

thanks in advance

 

I think you'll likely kill it.
From experience, Evo Vi runs really lean.
with lots of timing advance.

Therefore an Evo 5 is likely not to far behind, if not same.
Adding air flow, without retuning for fuel mixture is sure recipe for melted pistons.
Along with increased boost due to less backpressure.

Tuning the ECu is more important, and always mandatory, instead of chaing an air filter.
So get it sorted, you can do it yourself but best leave it to professional in your area.

Evo V ECU can be relfashed, and there is no reason to use any other ECU.

 

was looking or more of an in-depth reply realy

 

Have you looked into ECM tuning (aka DSM link)? They have it for EVOs 1-3, so it should work for you as well.

BTW, are you in North West of US? I would love to get more info on your RVR.

I took 93 Eagle Summit and I am making my own version of turo RVR, but I am always intersted in learning more about the "real thing", which seems to be non-exsisting in US .
