and lookie what I finally picked up today

I think they forgot to include the Mitsubishi Adapter though.. I did have to pay the extra $10 for it.
Nice purchase! You know whats funny? They did the same thing to me. I had to deal with customer support for over a month to get my Mitsu adapter. Best results were via email.
^ Nice. That packaging is quite official vs the priority mail box of old times.
you got a nice box with yours, mine came in a plain ole box. yea you have to pay for adpt but get it for $7 if you buy together..
yeah the box is quite nice lol. It's a little squished because they sent it in a padded Fedex envelope, but whatever.Quote:

oh btw the adapter was an additional $10 to the actual Tactrix 2.0 "cable" itself. It was supposed to come bundled together as a package since I paid that $10 but I guess they forgot.
Check out the back of the box. Very official!! lol

what does it do?
it lets me plug into the ECU so I can mess with the tuning (fuel trims, fuel injector scaling, etc.)
I didn't even know the 2 can log directly to an SD card, that's sweet!
yeah pretty cool huh? I actually have an 8GB microSD card from my old phone so woohoo hahaQuote:

This model seems to be really old so I can't find any manuals on it or anything, or any tutorials. The way the wiring is set up is not the same as the new ones out there.
As you can see from this thread, here, the newer controller is integrated into the gauge itself and it comes with a nice, neat wiring harness. My kit has them separate.
Now, onto my controller. Here is everything that I received from Galantfan88. I don't know why he sent me two controllers and two wideband sensors, but he did. Note that wiring on the left is the same, but is in a different location. ie the O2 sensor wiring is on the bottom, and the gauge wiring on top, whereass the set on the right is just the opposite. I'm going to be using the set on the right as it is cleaner and the pigtails aren't broken.

This is the set on the right:
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...h_IMG_7177.jpg
Here is the wiring on the controller that will end up going to the gauge:
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...h_IMG_7184.jpg
1. orange
2. white
3. brown
4. red
5. black
I'm going to assume that red and black or power obviously.
Now the gauge. The gauge doesn't actually have a connector to attach to the controller, just what appears to be corresponding wires.
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c...h_IMG_7181.jpg
the wires are:
orange
brown
white
blue
red
black
Again, I'm assuming red and black are for power. Based on the thread posted above, I'm assuming the white and blue are for datalogging purposes. This leaves me to wonder though.. what connects to the white wire from the controller?
oh wow, finally found the part number of the controller: 30-2301
so this obviously helped me find some resources. I believe these are the instructions for the gauge that I have:

the instructions for the controller itself can be found here:
http://www.galanttuners.com/index.ph...2.0;attach=182
thanks to Jimmy for his help!
I sent two bc Im not only a nice guy but also respect my TGC family here...had two of them and said, Oooo what the hell and placed both of them in there.lol I always have two of everything have. Even turbo timers...I have two of them.lol I had two turbos, I like to be prepaired.lol
Sorry I didnt get back to you with the wires, it completely slipped my mind but my friend was the one that worked with these and I have no clue how the wires go. If you didnt figure out yet, I can try to figure out also and help you there.
why did you choose the 2.0 over the 1.3? just because of the sd card feature?
the 2.0 is compatible with the 8G ecu
ah ok so just stick with the 2.0 for an evo one too I guess
haha, well then, thank you!! and it's not a problem dude, it's been sitting in a box at home while I was away at school anyway. Green for you!! lolQuote:

I went for a random drive, so I took some new pics:

If you ever wondered what this hood looks like from the driver's point of view:

Nice pictures :)
needs moar low!!!
Dude, those pictures are amazing, I added some to my iPhoto so they can be part of my screen saver, they are beautiful, nice work on the G!
How u doing bro. Nice pics. I have good and bad bews for the ecu roms. I spend a good amount of time searching and decoding the hex from the rom. For the 99 ecu is only pulling out 128k memory so is not pulling out the load and rpm values. 256k is the right amount. I gues it have to do with the h8 ecu models. That is why it shows a mess up rpm and load values because the xml is pointing to the wrong load and rpm memory locations. We will have to miss and match to see if is there. I will have to check if the ecu is lock.
The good news is that i was able to get or pull out the 02 2.4l galant definition "xml" i will sent it to matt so he could double check the data. Soon i going to tune the ecu.
Get some diamante injectors
Change the maf maps
The hight octane fuel
Etc.
Im going to start data loging to see where shes at. I got my AFRs
Nice pictures beam!
Thanks for the compliments everyone :)
Emerson... STFU haha no coilovers for me. yet...
Awesome! I'm glad you like the pictures. Too bad my buddy with the nice camera equipment wasn't with me.Quote:

I can email you my ROM and current, uncompleted definition files too if you'd like. You can PM your email address if you haven't already. I have your phone number now so I'll give you a call or text later.Quote:

Chrome Altezzas! JK.
2nd gen JDM tails would look nice eventually :)
Gotta fix that hood man! lol jk it looks good
Thanks Will, yeah this is by Montana de Oro, close to Morro Bay. In fact you can see Morro Rock in the background of some of the pictures. It's about 10 minutes drive from my school, down a nice road.Quote:

PS: I had a dream last night that someone stole my Magnaflow muffler and welded some random POS on there. I was like NOOOOOO
installed the 6g74 injectors and rewrote the timing map to match the stock Diamante map. Flashed it, and the car runs.. but my hood won't latch. So I can't actually go test it out.
Oh, and my damn gas door broke yesterday :(
happy birthday, adrian. ;)
Thanks Chris :)
I'm gonna be spending the day working on the car/driving it around. Just the perfect birthday :)
TAKE OFF THE HOOD! lol jk... Hey question. Does your hood rub on the strut towers?
I finally figured out the hood.. While it was propped up and i was working on the car, the hood shifted in its mounts ever so slightly (probably about 1mm) and this was enough to make the hole on the hood latch U-bar hit the guide rails on the latch itself. I was freaking taking apart the hood latch thinking it was faulty haha
So to those that buy a Seibon hood: Make sure the hole doesn't hit the rails! haha
And galantman03, no my hood doesn't hit the strut towers. Plenty of room. I believe the Monster style hood is made from a JDM mold though. Don't quote me on that though.
PS: since I finally got the hood situation figured out, I was able to take it for a short test drive. Little did I know that I forgot that I set the rev limiter to 2500 to do a test write a couple weeks ago.. So I get out on the street and hit the rev limit at 2500!! haha I was like WHAT THE HELL. Brain fart moment. I haven't done any extensive testing but at normal cruising and about 70% I am not seeing any signs of Knock.
PPS: Also, my gas door hinge broke, so the door was just dangling. Managed to fix it with some polyurethane and krazy glue lol
So does this mean there is a new definition file?
P.S. Happy Birthday
