Only log the essential data with Evoscan. Do WOT runs from 2500 rpm all the way to 6000 rpm(or your redline). Since I live in an urban area, flat freeways work great for me. Second, you have to go out and log data from your Eclipse. You do not want condensation to form on the sensor and destroy the sensor. Do not place the sensor in any position below three o’clock. The best position to place the sensor is in the down pipe 24-36' after the turbo in the three o’clock position on the passenger side. That will give you erroneous AFR readings. DO NOT install the WBO2 sensor behind the Catalytic Converter. So now that you have all the equipment and tools, what do you do next?įirst, you must install the WBO2 properly on your Eclipse. I am still using version 2.5 because I do not want to deal with the possible bugs in Newer versions.

It is for free and you can download it from Tactrix. Tuning Software: The tuning software is known as Ecuflash. If you want free software, then try Mitsulogger from the aktivematrix web site.ĥ. It is very user friendly and easy to set-up. It is a one time fee that entitles you to later updates of the software. It also allows you to integrate data from your WBO2 with the data from your ECU port. It uses the tactrix cable to log data from your ECU port. Logging Software: The most widely used logging software is Evoscan ( EvoScan OBDII Mitsubishi MUTII DataLogger Scantool).

Today, you can get a WBO2 meter for as little as $180.Ĥ. Tuning with a NBO2 was used back in the DSM days when WBO2 were very expensive and no one could afford them. It is used for emissions and it is only accurate under stoichometeric conditions and even then it is barely accurate. The NBO2 was not intended for tuning purposes. Do not use the narrowband O2 sensor on the Eclipse to tune the car. Wideband O2 meter (WBO2): Do not attempt to tune your Eclipse if you do not have a WBO2 meter. One stays in my Evo and the other stays in my tuning kit.ģ. The former will work on Evo and non-Evo vehicles, the latter will only work on Evos. You can either get a universal cable or an Evo specific cable. The one that all of us currently use is the Tactrix Cable ( Tactrix). Logging hardware: You will need a logging/flashing hardware cable. I am now in the market for a very small 7 inch mobile computer.Ģ. Mine is bulky and has a 14.xx inch screen.

I also recommend that you get a small laptop with a small screen. Make sure that you get one that is powerful enough for your tuning needs. There are many cheap used laptops on ebay. W/O a laptop, it is very hard to tune accurately with consistent repetitive results. If you have PASSION and TIME, then the next step is to get the best possible equipment that you can afford. So I took a vow to learn how to do this and never to go to a pro-tuner again. I too trusted a pro-tuner, only to discover that the pro-tuner I trusted had serious shortcomings. I thought that tuning was some voodoo/rocket science affair. Some pro-tuners want you to think it is, so you will not do it on your own. Use the above mentioned posters’ names as your guide. You will have to figure out which posts to believe in. Some of the posts are top notch and some are pure crap. The learning curve is steep and the task seems daunting. When you first start reading you will be confused. It gets very frustrated at times so you gotta make sure you understand through example and practical knowledge. Some of the stuff that I read is highly technical and sometimes I read threads three to four times to get concept to sink in. I spend hours reading posts from knowledgeable people like MalibuJack, mrfred, razolab, tephra, jcsbanks, touring bubble, etc…. The most important place to visit and read is the Ecuflash forum on Evom. You will end up very frustrated and maybe mess up your Eclipse.The second important element to learning how to tune is TIME. Passion should come first and If you do not enjoy tuning, then do not do it. I am writing this essay because I often see a lot of requests from Eclipse owners on how to begin tuning, what equipment is needed for accurate tuning, what approach should I take to tuning, etc….Īside from the equipment and approach, the two most important elements to have are PASSION and TIME. If you are concerned about voided warranty and damage to your car, you are better off leaving your car without any modifications to the ECU.
