Jotech Evo Buildup, some new pics
Yeah, I forgot that the stock ecu had been flashed by an ecutek dealer and it was locked. Right now it's at TT getting flashed back to stock and I should have it back any day now. The car is sitting with 250 miles on it now so I have some driving to do once it gets back.
john, your on the stock ecu? should have let me know. i could have unlocked it for you for FREEEEEEEE. and it would have only taken 5 minutes instead of a few days.
and i thought you were going to an AEM EMS... your going to be running the stock ecu?

I have a HKS v-pro which still retains some of the functions of the stock ecu. I didn't think anyone could get into it since ecutek locks it, at least the dealership couldn't do anything with it. That's too bad, I should have called you first. Kevin, you don't happen to have the JDM mivec map do you?
i put it on every 9 i tune. give me a call i can get you what you need.
Well the car was on the dyno today and so far I'm pretty happy with the result. On 93 octane at 21lbs it made 490whp and 387tq. Kenny tried to turn the boost up but the intercooler pipe at the throttle body kept blowing off, even with t-bolt clamps. He got up to 566whp, and we stopped there until we get that fixed. The problem was the throttle body is a bbk unit for a mustang, and the lip on it is just too small. It's an easy fix, but caused all sorts of problems towards the end of the day.
In the next few days I'll post up some dyno sheets and the car should finished with the race gas map.

the hks dli 2 is very much strong enough for the setup you have John. The infamous black AMS evo from florida had the same setup (built 2.3 w/ 35r) and ran the dli 2 alone and look at what it got him! that's gonna be an awesome looking engine bay when it gets done... i can't wait to see this monster on the street cheers! 
35r.....? it was a 42r.... it dynoed 1041 at ams....
I think he's refering to Chris's original setup which was a 35r, that's what he was running when most of the videos were taken. I don't know for a fact, but I'd be willing to bet they upgraded the ignition when he put on the 42r.

Original set up was a 35r, his setup is what my car was set up to imitate, it was later changed to the 42r. I'm assuming your talking about the EVO from the srvids videos on youtube.
I picked it for two reasons. The most important is that ecu is the one Kenny is most comfortable with, and likes best. Also because it retains some simple functions of the stock ecu, like cold start-up. With the AEM it takes a little longer to start the car. With the v-pro it fires right up like stock. It also has a higher resolution than the AEM. This pull was in third gear, at 7800rpm.
