Evo8 ECU in a 1G DSM

Do you have to switch over to all the evo MAS, CAS, sensors, etc? I should grab one and sell my AEM, lol.

Just the knock sensor. Technically you could get it running in speed density too, but that's still a little young imho. Evo MAS would be easiest, but you can scale the maf to whatever you got (just gotta figure out what settings are needed).

WTF are you talking about? Evo8 ecu's are like $100, make an adapter or maybe someone will for another $100, $50 for a cable and you have a fully tunable ECU!


:lol:

I'm talking about fixing what aint broke. Plenty of people making power on E-Proms.

Kinda like running a GMBS instead of a $30 MBC. It may work but it's not as easy to set up and a good ol' MBC has been proven for years



Where are Evo ECU's going for $100? If that's true it seems pretty cheap

Really? Like what?


I attached a pic of some table lists and such. Studderbox, NLTS, speed density, boost control vs mph, phantom knock, nitrous control, etc. Most of the same stuff that Evos have now plus some generic outputs for whatever you want. No alt map, but you can put 2 tunes on 1 chip and have them switch via a wire like how you activate alt map.

The main problems with the Evo ECU are it's over zealous/flaky knock control, flaky idle control compared to DSMs, and all kinds of new CELs that 1Gs don't normally ever have to deal with. The EcuFlash software is quick and easy to use though and EvoScan is pretty good.

Can you still even buy the $100 reflash cables new anymore? If you don't want to have to pull the 1G ECU out every time to make changes, $175 for a new Ostrich is still cheaper than $100 for an Evo ECU and $100-$190 for a reflash cable though. And the Ostrich can also make changes in REALTIME, no turning the car off to reflash and cycling the key. :)

I've never even heard of this amazing tool! Do you need a chip burner to burn the chip once you have the tune done? I'm asssuming this is one of those tools that emulates the rom via a usb adapter, then you make changes as needed until you're done tuning, then burn a chip.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

You can burn a chip or keep the emulator/Ostrich plugged in all the time. If you keep the emulator plugged in, then you can just put the ECU away and just keep your USB cable hanging out somewhere.

Shane take your bird and shove it! Your 1G ECU is antiquated, get over it! :D

2g ecu ftmfw!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it impressive that someone was able to do all that. I personally will stick with Link as it's what I know, and is everything I feel I will ever need, and their support is remarkable. But still I think it's cool that someone took the time and effort into doing that, and that there are other tuning options being brought to the table. Having more options isn't a bad thing in my book.

If you're the gov't, and you're talking about healthcare, you would think it is a bad thing :)
