hey guys, im back.. cant stay away from these damn cars for some reason!
this time round things are getting serious. 4g15 turbo build. running on stock ecu with reflash. so thought it would be great idea to start a thread here to discuss and collect knowledge as a group. the info on this stuff is out there (somewhere) but very scattered and hard to comprehend some parts, so planning to start a new thread with fresh start. feel free to correct anything or add things as long as you are confident they are correct. below is what i have learnt so far, but its becoming a nightmare to remember where certain bits of the info is, broken links etc so decided to make a new thread.
i will include my cars info for future reference:
2001 AUS spec Mirage 4g15 manual. ecu part number: MD351552 ecu processor number:MH7203FA
basics:
-ONLY plastic case ecus are flashable 98-03?
-96-98 metal case ecus are not flashable.
-96-98 cars can be flashed if ecu is swapped and add in the reflash connector under dash next to the OBDII port. this can be done by by running a wire from reflash adaptor to the ecu directly. at pin number #will confirm later
-some ecus are evo 5-6 based processor (H8), others are 7 onwards based.(SH)
-ecu must be removed from car and processor number checked before attempting to flash.
-Must have Tactrix Openport cable + mitsu reflash adaptor
-ecuflash and evoscan software
-definition file required for the particular ecu you have
Rumors/unconfirmed/untested by myself info i have came across.
all ecus using the same processor can be flashed with roms from others. (some say no, other say they have done it)
my processor MH7203FA is the same as evo 5-6. (H8 based ecu) this means that essentially i can turn my ecu into an evo ecu with a simple reflash. adding boost values, and more features into current hardware
My story:
downloaded ecuflash, plug in tactrix and reflash connector, successfully downloaded ROM and saved as .bin file on the PC.
next step is for me to find a definition file that can decode the ROM image so i can start editing. this is proving quite difficult... hence making this thread, maybe someone here already has all the info but aren't sharing!
evoscan i haven't managed to connect yet, working on that currently...
