Revision as of 14:45, 8 November 2009

I ask that anyone who is going to edit or add to the wiki please browse through it thoroughly before adding content. I have noticed that as the wiki is expanding we seem to be duplicating content. For example we already have a page on EvoScan, EcuFlash, Logging Cable, Wide Band Air Fuel Meter,Glossary etc.. If you want to discuss these items please simply link to their wiki page and possibly add content there if needed. We don't need to have several pages all talking about EvoScan for example. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP


The Evo has a powerful stock Engine control unit (ECU) which can be reprogrammed to accommodate the needs of each individual car based on their modifications and desired outcomes.

This wiki has the goal of detailing, with community contributions, how to tune, patch, and log your stock ECU, but it isn't the only resource available to you; please see our helpful links page for other sites that provide useful information.

Warning

Tuning or patching the ECU can be VERY DANGEROUS. If you are not careful you can destroy your ECU or worse, your engine. If you enter a value incorrectly or tune the engine improperly you seriously risk your engine's health. Proceed with caution and ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK any changes you make.

Glossary

Throughout the pages of this wiki many acronyms are used, if you have an confusion over any terms please visit the Glossary.

There are also many tables that are specifically referred to in ECUFlash that may not necessarily make sense to you. Please visit the ECUFlash Specific Glossary for an explanation of what these tables do.

Tuning

Tuning is the name for the process whereby you alter the fuel, ignition, boost, and other variables to influence how the ECU controls the car.

Patching

Patching is the new name given to modifying the code of the ROM. Through ROM modification various features of the stock ECU can either be improved or entirely new features can be created.

Logging

The term Logging refers to obtaining and recording data from the ECU to be used for tuning purposes.
