Carl's 98 auto AWD project Black Magic

[carltalon]

We drove the eclipse to Thanksgiving dinner today. Something that never would have happened with the laser. I am really likeing this car hopefully the snow stays away a little longer so I can play some more. After letting my wife drive it today I am a little worried she might be driveing it more then me though .

Looks awesome Carl, that's one of the few 2G's I've seen that I would drive. Very nice, makes me wish my blue car was an auto as well. :D

Nice looking car!

MAP has an EF2 for DSM's? The DSM turbos they are making seem like a big secret.

[turbotalon1g]

They made a post on tooners about it, they are finally promoting it.

As far as I know, only the EF1 and EF2 are available for DSMs.

EF1 is the billet compressor wheel and upgraded cover, I think EF2 uses a bigger hotside in addition to the coldside but you will need a diff. turbine housing I think TD06 or something.

How does it drive so far? I assume its still on pump since you didn't mention injectors, i know a guy selling some 1200s! :cool:

It drives awsome. I need to do a boost leak check to see if I can get rid of this fuel cut. and the stock TCU is definitly retarted when it comes to part throttle shifting but so far I'm very happy with the car. It will go under the cover as soon as the real snow flys so I probly wount do mutch with it besides a boost leak and drive it for now. Unless someone has a openport 2.0 cable they want to barrow me so I can remove the DTC's for rear o2 and eliminate fuel cut.

You can use an openport 1.3 can't you? You should only "need" a 2.0 for Evo X's AFAIK. Otherwise, I have a 2.0 cable, but Chang is borrowing it.

From what I've read I need the 2.0 1.3 will work for logging but not flashing. I should probly just buy my own but I kinda want to barrow someone elses to try to make sure Im not getting in over my head. There isn't alot of how to info on the 2g ECU. Alot of the stuff Ive been reading is in programer speak that is over my head.

[goodhart]

Yea, I don't get that programmer crap either. It seems overwhelming at first dealing with the xml files and all that. Looks like a bunch of gobeldy gook to me. LOL I know Dan Chang has been doing this with his 98, maybe try PMing him. Username is daneatsv8s or something like that.

Stop holding out, and post up that pic of the Chicago Pizza that made the 6 hour one way drive a little better. Damn that was some good pizza.

I use my openport 1.3 cable to flash my evo 8 ecu.
