Evo 5 with ECUFlash - how do I change boost?

[gothicsanta]

Hi

Finally got around to wiring up the Openport 2.0 and ECU Flash has now downloaded the ECU map :smile:

The information wasn't quite what I expected. I thought there would be a boost level that I could simply change - I want to go from standard (0.8 bar?) to the safe limit for my engine (Evo 4) which I believe is 1.4 bar?

Can I do this easily myself with the ECU adding extra fuel as required to cope with the extra boost....or do I have to completely remap :unsure:

Many thanks!

The ecu won't just adjust the fuel to suit if you raise the boost level.when you raise boost pressure it effects timing and fuelling as well as other parameters

So next step is buy & fit wideband and then I will need software for mapping as I can't imagine using ECUFlash to map?

When I've mapped cars before I've had software showing the zone on screen that is currently being used and then just hit + or - on the keyboard to increase/decrease fuel as required...

What are the options with the Openport/Evo ECU..?

[anttist]

ECUFlash is the software to map with. Currently live mapping is not possible so mapping consists of datalogging with Evoscan, examining the datalog, changing the map with ECUFlash and the going back to datalogging again. Repeat until you are satisfied with the results :)

It's not as bad as it sounds. Fuel is pretty easy to get right, ignition requires bit more time.

ta, is there a "how to" guide anywhere?

Go onto evolutionm.net and search for "how to tune an Evo"

you need a boost controller to up the boost it cant be done in the rom

With it maxxed out (with the std P-jet in place) you only see around 1.2 bar however you can control a 3 port solenoid using the code in the ECU (assuming you have the correct size resistor in the feed to the solenoid)

I knew that :blushing: :lol::lol: prob easier for op to go with ebc .
