you should buy the evo knock sensor. theyre about $80. You wire it up by running the line straight to the Ecu.
if your rev limiter is at 0, that means you are bouncing off the limiter at idle?

Yea that what I thought just wanted to clarify so thanks............just need to find where to put the knock sensorQuote:

The car is drivable i just have to go by the sound of the car so I know when to shift........I would rather see it in my gauge but what it does is that when I gas it the rev meter goes down to zero but when i let out the gauge works so its like working backwards lol ANY IDEAS?
were you 5 speed at MOD? I can't remember
Lol yea i had it but with the long trip my car was dirty and so i just had my car closed that's whyQuote:

there are 2 spots on the back of the block that you can screw in the knock sensor. One is toward the middle of the block. the other is closer to the passenger side of the block. I would first chase the holes with a bolt of the same pitch + thread to clean out any debris in there. The knock sensor is made of some soft metal (aluminum?) and i had the misfortune of messing up the thread on it because there was some debris/rust in the hole
its supposed to go here!

ok thanks i'll try to do it today so if i run into a problem i'll let you guys know
I was wondering what ever happened to your car since you never updated if u completed the swap, good to know you did. You should post some pics.
Yea its completed its actually been done since like last july. Also, I had to pass emissions so it was parked for awhile, so as soon as it passed I took it to get tuned and that's when I found out I needed a knock sensor.Quote:

There you can see where I drilled the whole for the wire

This shows where I messed up and cut the wrong wire......was reading the ecu diagram backwards. Also shows where I had to solder the pin to the wire because I broke with my finger. I guess I bent too much.

Almost have all my turbo parts ready so far I have my turbo piping intercooler etc.
Here's some pictures to start off with.

very nice. keep it up
Thanks hopefully by the end of the month I can install all of it.........but i am debating if I should dyno it before I put turbo just to see how much hp I have now lol
you can always run it w/o the IC piping. Just put the MAS on there
True lol but i'll see I just can't wait to put it on lol
nice! can't wait to see how this turns out
Ahaaaaa the beauty of a Precision Turbo
Had one myself but seals where done on it and had to be rebuilt and not only that but I think it was maybe alil to big and I would of had alot of turbo lag there so got my self a nice Turbonetics Turbo but Im loving what you got there man, keep up the good work.
Yeah dyno before and after. See how much hp you gain from mods. Dyno with DOHC first them turbo
I'm with Isaurio dyno before & after...

I can't wait to see how it turns out too lol trying to get it ready for MOD lolQuote:

Wow i jealous lol, i am going to the the same thing Dyno before M/T, after M/T, and After Turbo.
Lol yup we'll see how it turns out and i'll try to update as soon as possible.
Here's other pics on what I bought
http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMG_0176.jpg
I have other tubing and that's it for now.
looks good man thumbs up
I would say the only thing that confuses me is that you have the knock sensor coming through the fire wall and than into the connector that connected to the ECU but its not connected to the engine wiring harness itself. Is this correct? Im just trying to figure out where you got that extra green wire or where did you pull that out from. All of mine are connected...so what I am trying to figure out; should I just tap that red knock sensor wire into Pin 78 green wire even though its connected to the engine wiring harness?
Lol what I did was just kinda guessing because I couldn't find anything about how to connect the knock sensor.............I might be doing it the wrong way so if somebody knows a better way to do it let me know.Quote:

The other green wire that is loose is coming from the wiring harness that the car has but I believe that I checked it that slot and it was empty. So now I ran through the code thing and the knock sensor code if off. So either I did I did it right or something else is happening lol.
I do have other codes on but they relate to the egr, fuel and i think the turbo solenoid.
Wow great build man!! Props to you.. Nice choice on all the performance parts your going with and great work all around!
I installed my knock sensor with my evo ecu acouple weeks ago. I put the knock sensor in the location of the pic that Stewi posted earlier and grounded it to one of the spots on the block(Made sure this was clean). Then traveled the red wire through the firewall into the correct pin on the ecu.
So it sounds like I did the same thing just the red wire was too short for me thats why I extended it with a black wire.............that's why in the picture it looks like I ran the black wire through the firewall but it was just the red........i'll post some pictures on where exactly it is in the firewall.Quote:

This is where the hole ended up at

This is from the other side

Hope this helps
Also another update my oil lines came in today and I just ordered the 1000cc injectors the brand is injectors dynamics hope those are good :)
^ Same injectors im running.. If i get my g up and going before you ill let you know how they are. Later on im gonna do a double pump system with bigger injectors.
Yeah deff thanx for the pix man
Cool cool well they should arrive this week with my new Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump that I just ordered so hopefully by the end of next month i'll have everything ready for the turbo to be put on but if you beat me let me know lolQuote:

Look what just arrived..............think I am done getting parts for the turbo just need to install everything hopefully by the end of the month.

cut the rpm wire that goes to the ecu problem solved, the evo8 ecu tach is an output signal, on the galant ecu its an input (pretty sure) so you have 2 outputs on 1 wire how I figured it
evo8 ecu tach Output >>-----------------<<galant speedometer tach output
let me know if this works for you,
Thanks but still confused lol was looking at the wiring diagram and couldn't figure which one to cut any help?Quote:
