Spdracr's Turbo Build

first and before i forget i wanna thanks underated for helping through hundreds of PMs putting this together along with stewi, laxin, warmandscsi, run1206, icedoutgalant and slava from club3g and whoever i forgot to mention

i started buying parts the beginning of February and im almost done collecting my parts

this project ended being a lil more than i expected it to cost me but i did go all out and got mostly new parts, sorry i dont have pics right now but i promise u guys tomorrow i will get them posted

so here is my list:

evo 8 turbo with 10.5 hotside came with a tubular manifold but has a small crack so the seller sent me the stock cast manifold and i bought a brand new Megan Racing tubular manifold

Megan Racing SS O2 housing

Megan Racing 3" SS DP (evo DP)

Megan Racing 3" test pipe

Megan Racing 3" inlet muffler

evo 8 oil pan

evo 9 fuel pump

evo 8 fuel rail and fpr

450cc dsm injectors with resistor pack

ebay manual boost controller

ebay type-s (i think) BOV

bar & plate IC 27x6x3.5 with 2.5" piping

E-manage blue with pc tool

innovative wideband controller with LC-1 and tactrix cable and digital afr gauge

water and oil lines

2003 ecu with reluctor

oil filter adapter

gauge holder ( will be molded under the climate control )

and misc gaskets, couplers, fitting from extreme psi and jegs

intake pipe with SS cone filter (it will be a CAI)

parts i still need:

oil catch can

boomslang harness for e-manage

spark plugs and wires

vacuum manifold

tranny cooler

boost gauge and oil pressure gauge

so far my total spending is: $2800

this total does not include the extra valve cover that i bough to get powder coated, the SS brake lines, the evo IC and pipes that i wanted to go with in the first place

i wanted to keep this on the DL few members are aware of this so far but i have so many questions and i knew i will run into some problems and i dont have alotta of local members who would help, laxin and mtcavity offered to help and i appreciate that alot

im staying with the auto tranny and looking to get somewhere around 250hp and i know the 450cc injectors will max out so i will swap those out once i get my setup completed and running and before i get tuned by sean ivey

i know this thread is worthless without pics :)

questions and comments are welcome

thanks

thanks man good luck to u too on ur build, it sucks u dont have a daily driver like i do, im just waiting for a nice day so i can fit the manifold and cut it and bend it and take it to a shop and get it rewelded and then fit the intercooler and the pipes

nice man cant wait to see it
need help? u know how to reach me

Nice Start man! and goodluck!

well tonight i wanted to fit the intercooler and it was nice out and since i dont have a garage i have to work in the parking lot which is not a big deal

i managed to get all the screws off the bumper and the 2 tabs under the grill and when i went to take the headlights out to get to the tabs under them it started raining :( so i just screwed the 2 screws on the outside and left it as is

those plastic tabs had to be broken off since i couldnt take them out with a screw driver like its supposed to so i guess i will hit the dealer and get me new ones

on sunday when u come here mayb we can bolt it on

Look for another bov the ebay type s or rs are shit. They leak and are just crap.

just took pics of the gauge pod being test fitted and sorry still dont have any pics of the other parts still all in boxes i will try my best tomorrow

first post updated

gauge pod looks good alex,

Sweet!

Start intalling everything everynight untill 4 AM, and somewhere within a month or two you'll be set.

I drove around with no dash for a week as I was installing the electronincs. Not being able to sleep because I was thinking the entire night, of the wireing diagrams of my G. Going over load predictions, oil line routing, intake/exhaust plumbing and AFR tables while I should be sleeping. Compleatly submersed in turbo/mecanical/ECU therory.

Getting that lost in something proves the love for it...

Congradulations and have fun!

Did you have any problems going from a 2000 ecu to a 2003? I 'm hunting down ecu pinouts to see is the pins match or not. I kept getting a error whenever I tried to read either ecu. After doning some searching, I think my cable may be bad but I'm not sure.

Well I would love to work on my car over night but that's not possible since I don't have a garage and I don't wanna get in trouble with the neighbors

I hope installing everything shouldn't take a month or 2 and I know it won't just happen in one day either but I can use ur help with the ecuflash and few things

I haven't installed anything yet and I have been following ur thread to see whats the problems that u r running into

I have mine in the G all the time, so hit me up at the next meet and we'll try a ROM pull.

Whenever you get the ECU flash cable try to read your ECU. If you can read yours then there might be hope for me.

i'm the same way as well. always double-checking the fuel maps through ECUFlash :?

With the 1999-2000 it is hit or miss. There has been some work into getting the 2000 and earlier ECUs to initialize and dump their ROMs, but have not been very active in the ECU studies and will need some time to dig around.

You guys have been waiting a F&^ken eternaty for an answer to the ECU flash, and with the GSX/GST would be in tuner heaven....

they say you can read the ecu's with the H8 processor but you can not reflash them you need atlatest version 1.31 to do it tho... its posted in the description of release 1.31

# read only support for H8/539 based mitsubishis - flashing disabled due to lockout problem

ok I'm gonna start with my noon questions

How do I hook this wideband up ?? I mean all these extra cables are scary and I'm kinda lost and don't know where to start

tried to read my 00 ecu and no luck

here is what i got


[02:54:40.594] Using interface OpenPort 1.3 Universal TX27qQra0fecb4d9a1d6ae225e5773ddf5bcfdacbaef2534

Man when you and drew finish Def come down to VA and help me

Did or could you try using ECU Flash version 1.28? Give me your E-Mail if you need a copy...

You could try a copy of EVO Scan to see if you can get a data-logging connection. I had issues when I first tried...

i tried lookiing for solutions online, i couldn't find any :(
the only thing i can think of is running 1.28 or 1.29a

kBeast: i'll go visit whenever i get the install done, might be a while cuz the weekends are busy

only 1.31 and later they added the ability to read the H8 processors, brandon said he managed to read his friend's 00 ecu but he only did it once, i managed to get the 1.31 so im gonna try that

i tried the 1.33 and the 1.34 and no luck, tomorrow im gonna try the 1.31 if i figure out how to save it on my vista from the e-mail which i dont know how to save it and change the extension as my computer automatically saves it without giving me the option

and if that doesnt work then im gonna plug the 03 ecu and try to read it and if that works then im gonna copy it and send it to logicgate and have him delete my immobilizer and send it back to me

well today i tried the 1.31 ecuflash and that didnt work either so i started taking my dash apart to get to the ecu and swap in the 03 and attempt to read that but i didnt get that far since i had somewhere to go but tomorrow i will try to find the time to swap them and read the 03 and i hope that works then i will be set

so only 01+ cali spec can be flashed, i know i read this a million times before but i cant tell the difference between cali and fed spec cars

If you go to the mentor mitsubishi website and type in your ECU part number, it will tell you if you have a cali or fed spec ecu.

Getting to that ECU is a monster, taking apart that air filter box is going frustrating too. Your going to need deep well sockets to get those small nuts off the bottom of the air box and once all the nuts and bolts are out trying to pull it out is even harder. You might be surprised how dirty your filter is going to be, I found leave, straw and sticks in mine.

stewi said I only had to take the 4 14mm nuts on the front off to get it out

I guess I'll find out

As far as the part number on the ecu what is the site u talking about ?? Have u figured anything out with urs

Hey kory do u have the XML file to put in the mitsubishi folder of the ecuflash program ?? I think the code for the 00 galant was something like 85850014 brandon gave me the one for the 01 G but I wanna try the one for 00 just to give it a shot

Also when I plug everything in and hit read the lil window that comes up gives me the option for what car I'm trying to read and all the options thats in there for evo and subaru but brandon gave me the XML file for the 01 eclipse AT do u have the galant ones too ??

Heres the website http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=213934 this is where I got my reluctor from.

I havent done much, I got final next week. I'm just waiting for school to let before continue. I'm thinking about getting another car too, there are alot of 7Gs going for 4 to 6 hundreds dallors but all of them have tranny problems.

well i just got the 00 ecu out and plugged in the 03 ecu in and tried to read it and it worked :) i saved a copy to the hard drive and a copy to a flash drive, im gonna send a copy to logicgate to delete my immobilizer and go from there now that this is out of the way i might jack the car up and cut the bottom of the bumper since the intercooler is pushing down on it

thanks for everyone who tried to solve this mystery with ecuflash and not being able to read my current ecu


btw that website told me that the 03 ecu is cali spec but didnt tell me what my ecu is oh well since im not using my ecu

to be continued

yeah i got those a lil bit ago but i did manage to read the 03 ecu which means im just outta luck with the 00 ecu

Worst case, Email me a copy of your ROM, and I will map it out in an hour...

Nice, I guess my 01 ecu is going on ebay. Going to order me a 03 ecu come monday. How much did you pay for emanage, inlcuding harness, etc?

i havent looked anywhere else beside ebay so if u know a site where i can get them for a decent price or u have better brand u wanna recommend then please share it

do i have to keep 2 cats to be street legal ?? i dont care about emission since i wont be doing it but around here cops profile us and i dont wanna get no fine for not having a cat so instead of using the test pipe that i have i decided to go with a high flow cat instead

which ones should i get ?? i will just get the cheapest ones cuz i dont know any better so if u can help me decide i would appreciate it

thanks
