Another steak update.

Brushed with olive oil, salted heavily. Grill at 550, flip once, 2:15/side. Pepper on top side after flip. Blue cheese on while it's resting for 10 minutes. Consume.

What happened to our engine ****? We must be on commercial break,

Before the big dyno day I had tuned out this thread, I like most of you were looking forward to “Let’s” results. I happen to live around the corner from where English Racing holds the tuning and where all the excitement happens. I showed up to see another friends car be tuned and while approaching the the entrance I saw “Let’s” but no Evo. After talking with his close friend he spilled the news, Engine issues... I was so shocked, I couldn’t believe it. Well I will stay tuned to the **** either way it’s good. I too love to grill and do it several days a week.

Seller said I just need to replace the connector for one of the cam sensors, no big deal, can get those for about $10-$15.

Even if I didn't find that deal, the harnesses and ECU's come up on eBay regularly. I wouldn't be doing the conversion if I had to frankenstein an 8 harness, no thank you...LOL. Thanks for looking into that for me though.

In case anyone was wondering the head will be going to Head games for their race port package #2.
Is it easy to find the wiring harness? I have a complete head, just need to figure what harness I need to do the swap

It's a complete harness. You need the Evo9 engine harness. IIRC mitsu calls it the main control harness.

And then the plug for the trans harness is different, so you need a 9 trans harness ( the sub harness for the VSS and reverse switch).

And you definitely don't have to pull the dahs to change the harness. Just the center console.

Look like i will need both harnesses. I have a 04 so i do not have acd. but I guess since the pinout for the ecu is different i will need that harness as well

The ACD is a separate ECU. If your car doesn't have ACD, just leave those plugs unplugged..

So I'm slightly confused, do I need the Evo 9 trans harness or not, since I don't have ACD lol.

I figure I wouldn't be needing to use the ACD plugs lol

The trans harness has nothing to do with the ACD. And yes, you need it,

Went shooting and grabbed a few pics of the raptor while we were out there.

That looks dope! ^ I almost flipped a friends ford ranger once going off roading. A week later he actually flipped it lol. Needless to say, we were both doing something stupid. It was a good time.

Subbed, and sorry about all the bad luck! That is my worst fear dropping coin for a legit engine build and it failing shortly after...but I guess you gotta pay to play right? Hopefully engine build v2.0 will be much better
