Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Haha, anything by AMS though is usually the highest of quality though. I would have done the same thing, I feel your hurt (of missing a fast vehicle).
Should have stayed with the manley's. Then DB could have got mine done while you were waiting. :P LOL jk.

Make sure it matches 0x00E9, then change it to 0x0100.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I haven't read up on this fix yet. What exactly is it attempting to correct?

When you go over 30psi you'll get a whole lot of lights on your dash along with the 'ASC off' indicator. Your fancy drivetrain features will remain disabled until you shut the car off.
On a hot E85 tune this will get disabled on every drive (like for Dave). What's interesting is that this turned out to be the same fix for MR owners as well. The ECU would stop sending data to the tranny secondary ECUs and that'd cause them to go into limp mode.
The assumption is that this is a safety feature but obviously it was based on the power output capability of the stock turbo at that psi, anyway...

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
I wonder if Mitsu chose ~30psi since that's near where the stock MAP sensor maxes out at?

Another reasonable guess. Consensus is that it reads to 33. They haven't found the tables for going to a 4bar yet. I've got one of those sitting and waiting, as well.

Found that in SSP's thread on his MR. The fix is the same, apparently.

Yup, its a 3.3 bar sensor. It's actually the same one that came on the JDM IX's. The "JDM" sensor I ran on my IX was actually just a an Evo X one I got from Brookdale Mitsu.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
My new SSP clutch master cylinder finally shipped out today. My relay pack from the Mitsu TSB shipped from them yesterday so i should get that today.
Dropped my AMS front motor mount insert off at DB's carcraft tent on Saturday when I was there just in case by some miracle the motor was going to go in soon, didn't want to create extra work for them.
Man am I getting ancy...can't take it anymore!

Should be it from my understanding, not sure where the engine is for status, hopefully getting close

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Well couple slight hang ups. Cosworth Rod bearings had to be sourced, no vendors had them in stock, so I had them 2-day aired in since I am guessing these are holding the build up at this point.
Talked with FP...the upgrade was $1099 with the porting I got and a slight hiccup, they decided they wanted to do an oil line upgrade kit with the Black so they are developing it right now and said it would be ready for shipment tomorrow at the latest it sounded like. So nothing too terrible, just more money needed to be spent, something like $150 at worst for the oil lines.
