Well its been a long day. I got an awd 1g dsm intermediate shaft from a friend and a mirage turbo axle from carquest. I took that opportunity to install all new carquest ball joints and Mitsubishi tie rod ends. I also installed the superpro bushings for the front control arms.
Put everything back together and go to fire the car up but the engine wouldn't fire. I poked around for a few minutes before I swapped the ecu out for the one I had waiting to go in it with the dsmlink installed
Swapped ecu's and the car fired right up. Weird. No idea how an axle failure could be related to an ecu dying but whatever. I set all the dsmlink settings to stock.
went and took the car out for a test drive on street tires with the laptop logging the dsmlink , looks like the dsmlink says the ecu is asking for 140% injector duty cycle! lol whoops! but the car feels faster than ever.
Another weird thing i noticed, the car starts up perfectly on colt start, and drives around at part throttle much better now with the new ecu, even with everything zeroed out.
well i took it out for a test drive and one of the old all season street tires fell apart
looks like no track for me tonight. I think ill install some 550s on sunday, then monday ill dyno it and play with the dsmlink to see if i can get a better tune in there. Then ill hit the track wednesday. hopefully i can get an 11.9 out of it
Wish me luck!
