yuuuuup

knowledge = [horse]power

 

yeah i can finally use the cable for my car then looking at flashes of EVO in envy.....LET US KNOW THE FINAL RELEASE DATE AND ALSO what size injectors are you running....cause i might want to steal ur map if ur using WRX injectros

 

Z Lancer Man,
Thanks for pursuing this and following through with it. The lancer community appreciates your invested interest, and this should really pay off well to both the people who provide the software and cables.

From what you've looked into and gathered so far, how hard is the software going to be to tune?

 

Thanks N1te! This software is incredibly easy to tune with. Just pick a cell value to change, change it, upload it to the ECU and viola, done. However, as with any tuning, you must have a means to datalog so you can see what exactly your car is doing. That is where EVOScan comes in. You can read all about that here: http://www.limitless.co.nz/EvoScan/ It used to only cost $15 for the download, but I think it was upped to $35. Still a great deal on a full datalogger. Future releases will also support all major widebands (Zeitronix, AEM UEGO, LM1/LC1). However, ECUFlash, which is free (open source) is also going to start being able to log as well in future releases.

I've been studying all about knock and how to reduce it (since I'm getting knock) in preparation to start tuning my car. I'm hoping to release between 30 and 40 HP just in a good tune with my current setup. Stay tuned

Sure thing I'm hoping to get those in after I can get this first stage tuned.

Final release date should be soon. I have 3 people currently looking over the definitions to verify everything is right before I go in and start changing things (kind of scary!).

ALSO, BE SURE TO ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR CURRENT/STOCK/OEM FLASH! If you inadvertently change something, or you get it all messed up, you can always start over. Just a little advice for future reference!

 

Z lancer is this going to be user frindly and when you say back up your current flash were would you back it up on your PC ,,,i have never used this stuff and i want too so any info would be great thanks Z

 

ECUFlash can pull off your stock ROM. Your ROM contains all the factory parameters and "look up tables" used in tuning your engine. Once you pull that off your ECU, you can just save it to your hard drive.

 

i thought this didnt work for out car is there a new release date or wat wat u do different or is there another thread im missin?

 

It's still $15 and $20 if you live in NZ.

Have you used EVOscan on a lancer ? Just want to know because it is "EVO"scan; not LANCERscan. The site says i will support the 2003 Lancer OZ; not Lancer ES, LS, and RALLIART. Right below that is says it will support "1996+ Mitsubishi OBDII Vehicles". A wee-bit confusing to me.

Z:Have you used this tool already?

 

They call it EVOScan because the software developer wrote the software to be used on his EVO 4. However, it does support all of our cars. I've used this software a ton. Here is my log of one of my dyno runs:

 

so Z... do you have any type of wideband or computer management? i'm turbo-ing the car soon so i'm definitley interested in this. although to be honest i'm not too sure on how to read the charts. a good description would be AWESOME!

 

i've dl'ed ecuflash but have no roms or a cable(yet). could you share one so i can see what it's like to tinker? thanks...

 

so is this even worth bothering with if you own an '03 ES with only a SRI as a performance mod? If so how much would this thing even help?

 

im still tryin to figure out what your doin to get it to work ive heard from everyone else it wont work

 

It works for me now because I found some people who were willing to remap my ROM and come up with the right definitions. If you downloaded the software and tried to use it as is, it won't work. However, the definition file I'm using will be available shortly! We want to make sure that everything looks right.

This will help every setup. Even if you are stock, this will help. All our cars come from the factory detuned. They run really rich at the top end, so lean it out some and viola , more power. Hopefully I can get the def. file to you all today or tomorrow!

 

Cool Zack...

I've been reading up on this over on the EVO thread.... Should our Flash be out by the end of year or before?
