ok, lil update:
I just got the EVO ECU on saturday afternoon from a member of evom.net (big thanks to him on the fast shipping, and to GOOSEY2099 for letting me know about the sale

according to GOOSEY2099...
"Now you need a boost solenoid, new style jdm foglight clip (not sure why on that one), fuel pressure solenoid, dsm injector clip (not sure about that one either since i'm using wrx injectors) "

pretty soon i'll get the wiring for the ecu as well as the final gaskets for the hardware components. gotta talk to GOOSEY2099 and johnathansgalant about whether to do only the EVO ECU or to do the dual ECU swap.

more details to follow soon

u might have to go Dual ECU for now since ur Automatic, but once u go 5spd u can do single ECU

**GOOSEY2099** · 06-01-2009, 03:37 PM

the reason for those clips is... boost solinoid connector is exactly like my jdm fog connctors were. and the fp solinoid is just like a fuel injector clip.

and my assumption is this will eliminate the codes that goes to those wires, nice

hopefully i have no CEL codes after the install, will go to inspection prior to the turbo install. (at least that way, i have another two years to finish the remaining CEL codes)

so i figure go back to evom.net and find someone selling these, unless you have any extra lying around the garage somewhere ;)

i forgot where i got this document from....

hard to read, i know

it's an excel sheet showing the EVO and Galant ECU pinouts side by side. maybe i got it from underrated or johnathansgalant...either way i'll ask them about it to see if i can use this as reference when i do the swap.

**run1206** · 06-11-2009, 08:18 AM

so i've been looking at a few sites to get the remaining items for Galant/EVO Dual ECU swap. all i need is a turbo wastegate solenoid (and a mathcing new style JDM foglight clip) and a fuel pressure solenoid (and a matching dsm injector clip) and an extension harness so i don't mock up the current stock harness for the Galant ECU.

both clips would be from an evo right?

Conversion Harness: maybe around $300+
(Boomslang) i emailed Boomslang about a custom "conversion harness" (thanks for lettin me know johnathansgalant :D )

Boost Solenoid:
(AEM) $101.00
http://www.aempower.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ProductID=23

(eBay) $54.99 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
(looks very similar to the AEM solenoid

)

(eBay) $59.95 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

still looking for the right fuel pressure solenoids to find as well, will post up links when i find them.

i still have to get the remaining gaskets for the hardware itself (exhaust manifold -> turbo, turbo -> o2 housing, o2 housing -> downpipe), but those i will purchase tomorrow or during the weekend.

**run1206** · 07-12-2009, 12:05 PM

off to Boston to pickup a manual transmission today... more details to follow soon

**run1206** · 08-06-2009, 05:55 PM

**stvn_mj** · 08-06-2009, 06:01 PM

I remember seeing that you bought it on c3g and I wished I had the money to buy it at the time. Good luck with the swap bro.

thanks, it was a deal i couldn't pass. i know kylecanthurdle was gonna try to get the tranny as well.

**run1206** · 08-12-2009, 06:26 PM

second shipment came in today (yes i know, i'm missing the brake pedal

he's sending that tonight)

gotta get the flywheel resurface

planning on getting a new clutch as well, but not sure if it's gonna ship in time for Sunday

**kylecanthurdle** · 08-12-2009, 07:22 PM

nice drew, glad to see ya picked it up. i got a pretty decent deal, 1000 for the trans and they guy said i can take whatever i wanted that had to do with the swap for no cost. got the new clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing and a new mast cyl. so all im gonna need is the trans, cables, slave cyl, flywheel, shifter and pedals. so lets hope maybe you and i both can be swapped by the end of aug...thatll be friggin awesome.

**mko** · 08-12-2009, 08:09 PM

Make sure you have the little clip that holds the shifter to the cable/white plastic/. I was told that w/o it its worthless and you have to buy the whole set of cables

**run1206** · 08-12-2009, 08:13 PM

just finished talking to Stewi on the phone a few seconds ago. He said the same thing; i need a U shaped clip to connect to the cable. I gotta call Denver about a "clutch reservoir" as well. Gotta get in touch with Izzy again and ask for the brake pedal too. only those three things and i'm set

true, i might wait a week to finish my swap, gotta make sure i have everything since this is my DD as well. Good to get the smaller stuff first; i kinda wish Izzy had the stuff ready when i drove to his house a few weeks ago (MA).

**mko** · 08-12-2009, 08:54 PM

If he has lost it, pm me your address and Ill send you a clip. For some reason I have one left over.

**run1206** · 08-12-2009, 09:03 PM

i took pictures, i think i found it....
edit:

is this it????

**mko** · 08-12-2009, 09:37 PM

yes

**run1206** · 08-12-2009, 09:45 PM

whew!!! i feel alot better. thank you for that verification.

Stewi told me they only sell them attached w/ the cables at $120 a piece. thought i had to wait to find another one. thank God i have it

**run1206** · 09-24-2009, 07:38 PM

UPDATE: clutch is fixed, but i know some of you won't approve of how we did it. Big thanks to everyone who called/visited my house to help with the fix. The fix was (for now) using an extension from a socket wrench which fits right into the section where the OEM rod goes into the slave cylinder, i'll post a pic tomorrow of how it is now, but it DOES work (temporarily)

I bought and received the extension rod from Extreme PSI today and will install the rod tomorrow afternoon when my friend comes home from work. (you need 2 people to get the slave cylinder back onto the tranny while using an extended rod.....sounds so wrong

)

here's pics from the actual swap with GOOSEY2099....

appearently Roman and Eugene didn't tell me about the coffee runs i needed to do :facepalm:

never seen anyone drink as much coffee as they do

i promised Roman i wouldn't put up his "plumber's ass" pic. He needs a new belt,

2nd coffee run...

yes, i know that the oil pan

i have alot more pics from my phone; i'll put them up later tonight :D
