Got some question
I dont got an turbo setup, i've done some basic mod and some ppl told me that would be better ECUflash myself than buying a piggyback.
i've read some thread about ECUflash my lancer ES 2005 MT.
-I know that i need to get Openport 2.0 and the Reflash connector from tactrix.
-I need the definition file that senate posted to be able to flash my ecu.
-What about the ROM?
-I've read the ECUflash tutorial for beginner
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ec...beginners.html
But this is mostly for turbo guys. Is it similar?
-What i should change in ECUflash to get more power?
Which mod i should add for a better tune/result with my ECUflash as N/A
- RRM LightWeight Pulley
- RRM Motor Mount
- CAI
- High flow cat
- Custom 2"¼ Exhaust
- TWM ShortShifter Kit
- 4G93 Camshaft
- Fidanza Camgear
Thnx for your help!

There is no real difference between flashing a turbo car and one that isn't.
The only real difference in those roms is table size and features on the ecu which are coded in. The settings of the rom will also be vastly different since NA cars tend to use quite a lot more timing in most areas.
Mod choices really depend on your goals if its power then finding the choke point in the motor would be priority #1. And the most likely choke point for the car would be the muffler if its stock and cat as a next best bet. Taking care of the choke points will make your other mods more effective.
Oh and always start down stream, exhaust, first becuase you can only flow air into the motor as fast as the down stream portion can get it out into the atmosphere :P. I'm not saying there is no improvement to be had with the upstream mod bits but it certainly wont make as much power without the down stream sorted out first.

thnx for the tips

Im better with Evoscan software or the ECUflash one?
Should i get A/F ratio gauge?
About editing the table, its change-error until i got it how i want it?
evoscan logs what the car is doing. ecuflash edits the rom on the ecu to better accomodate whats foing on with the car from the data in evoscan.
dont get an a/f gauge, get a wideband. it tells you more and its one of the best tools for tuning the car

The Evoscan software is simply a "datalogger" is what you will be using it for, although it does have other functions, the main purpous will be for logging what your car is doing.
ECUFlash is the actual program that you need in order to make changes to your ECU "tune" and it is an editable software and allows you to make various changes to the ECU and be flashed back, overwritting with new information. You need both EvoScan and ECUFlash.
Should i get A/F ratio gauge?
You WILL need a "wideband" air/fuel ratio gauge, theres no way around it really, its essential for any turbo or any other forced induction application. Its required for monitoring and tuning purpouses. This is a very important peice you WILL need. Safety first!
About editing the table, its change-error until i got it how i want it?
The tables in ECUFlash are a representation, and dont necessarily display the ACTUAL values, however with some fine tuning you can get very close. Make very small changes and monitor the car to see how it responds. But for the most part yes, it will take alot of editing until you get it where you want it.

I'm a fan of zeitronix but its more expensive than other brands has the capability to log boost, AFR, EGT, and more all in one simple round dial display.
That is not a wideband thats a narrow band all it can tell you is if the car is rich or lean from 14.7 AFR nothing more.

Up to you really logging is a part of tuning a car need to figure out what your end goal is for logging. I for example needed egt, aft, and boost and this was honestly cheaper than buy all three seperate
