Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Well first step is after its cleared going to let it idle for at least 30 mins and let the ECU relearn everything.

Then make sure the code doesn't come back. If it doesn't come back then Hooray, otherwise I have other things I can check I guess...hopefully it was just some of the bad e85 left over.

Given the recent events, it is high time I bought one...

Just ordered a tactrix 2.0 Cable...time to be able to log...when it gets here I will get a copy of evoscan too.

I hate not being able to read codes, this is needed. Next up I am going to get a wideband and wire that in for on board wideband readings.

This stuff is all overdue. I was really really wanting to get a milspec TB and maybe some porting for the intake mani but I am already going to be adding some great power with the tubular manifold, so I'd rather invest in some much needed logging stuff. I will probably start to look into tinkering with tuning stuff too.

Logging stuff is priceless.
I don't think u need to worry about power, remember there will always be someone faster than you.

And even if you want to be king of the mitsu boards, we have too many shops around.

When you get a wideband make sure u get something that works well with your software, I know with link some of the wideband will be off a few points when logging thru link when compared to the gauge.

Can't you just disable the P0300? Lots of 8/9 guys do, its just annoying and nothing to worry about really. If the car is misfiring real bad it's not like you won't be able to tell anyways, ya know?

[Murlo26]

I don't think they have that disable for the X yet, but they might.

Shane did tell me thats what they do on the 8/9's but it sounds like he said he doesn't see it on the X's at all. So unless it keeps popping up (and there is no reason for it) I'll just leave it be for now.

Well the FID manifold should be at MAP Friday, finally haha.

It is getting nice out slowly but surely and I am getting ancy so I keep bugging Chris...can't help it still haven't drove the evo much at all in the past year.

The plan is an all day extravaganza on Monday with at least 4 manifolds being tested...possibly 5. we expect the testing to run into Tuesday so I will be missing some work...dang ;)

I just dropped off some new oil (high zinc yumminess) and filter, oh and Scheides' old mani.

Last night I swung by Scheides house to grab the mani and setup Evoscan and stand alone data logging on my Tactrix cable. BIG THANKS TO SCHEIDES !! (I owe you yet again) It would've taken a lot of reading to figure out most that stuff, much easier to learn hands on. So now I am set to log and someday make minor minor changes...probably mainly fuel stuff at first..I'll leave timing and mivec etc to Shane.

MAP is gonna swap out the oil quick this week and recoat Scheides mani too as it had a few scratches in it...wouldn't hurt right :)

So it looks like the plan is Monday strap the car down right away at 9ish and do baselines on the DD tune which is around 30-32psi..so should easily shows gains from parts swapping at those levels.

Order:

1)ported stocker from MAP that is coated.
2) MAP's short runner
3) FID Mani
4) Map long runner (scheides)
5) Possible revised MAP mani if necessary.

It sounds like MAP might try to make another mani this week that we may test. There is no reason to redo their design though as the current one works great but if they need to they will attempt to improve upon it.

So let the fun begin...stop by Monday if you wanna check it out.

Can't wait to see the mega-results!

Can't wait to see the mega-results!
I can't wait to see the crying that will ensue!

FiD/SLS is gonna be pissed :D
