Evoscan tuning/reflashing

Has anyone done it on the CH's? I know that 4G69 has more to give. I have an exhaust and a couple of intake mods. I want to make a bit more power/improve the fuel economy a little. I know a reflash is the answer but I'm not 100% on how to do it all.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
I found that to. I was hoping for something a little more informative though. Might just have to buy it and have a crack myself.
 
bring your attention to this topic - the US and Canadian Lancers can be reflashed however the Australian ECU are much more difficult due to the immobiliser I have sent a ecu over to Canada they have been able to tune it but the problem is going to be the immobiliser you will have to get your car key re-programmed to a set code so that it is compatiable with the ecu

i dont think many people have cracked the 69 ecu yet. but im curious of this evoscan. the 4g69s definately respond really well to tunes though, a lot of people come down to 14 sec passes from tunes plus basic mods in the us.

14 second passes from a reflash? Where are these said g69's that can do those times? I would believe it with a full standalone but just a reflash on an NA, that's about a 2 second gain.

look around on evom. stock 4g69s run mid 15s and since they have cracked the ecu in the us (hackish), with boltons such as cai, exhaust and ud pulley a guy pulled off a 14.5 (i think he also had an upgraded fuel rail.) ill see if i can dig up the post. 69s have a really *poo*ty tune from factory.
 
I get the feeling these motors are really de-tuned for the 'light weight' Lancer.
They cart around AWD SUVs with ease ie: outlander, so they don't need as much power in the lancer, or am I way off?
 
Has anyone been successful or found an easy way of reflashing the Aussie ecu?
Lancer-lot I believe you'd be on the right track...
If only someone made an easy way of doing it for lancers or even all cars haha
 
the problem lies in the immobiliser - sorry that I do not have the vocabulary for this but basicly the immobilser code changes/alters itself apparently the only company that does successful reflashes is the Canadian company... I know they have spent literally years trying to crack the code this car has been out for nearly 6 years and they have been trying since that time I think it took them nearly 3 years just for there model and only last year I think for ours.
 
We have immobilizer's in EU ECU's also. And my CS Lancer was and is tuned by EcuFlash (EvoScan is a datalogging program. You can get your flash out with it though) through OpenPort 1.3U. I dont see any problem? The key also can be programmed trough EcuFlash (if someone has made decent definitions to your engine first).

Take a picture of your OBD connectors near-about's. I want to see if you have the "Flash" Connector that OpenPort -cable uses.

You can get the cable around 40USD so why don't someone get one and test?
 
we have the plugs etc to do a reflash but the type of processing chip is different compared to other countries... you could get a reflashed ecu from the states along with keys key barrel locks and key reader and swap into your car...

Weird. But good to know that you have been testing :) Any reason why would Mitsu do this?

If you're referring to the immobilizer it's to stop theft, rolling code instead of a set code the remotes/keys programmed to remember the last few codes so you can still start the car etc.
 
Yeah. I know what it is for and I'm 95% sure I have the same thing. But does it have anything to do with entering ECU with an OpenPort cable? I know the Flash code needs a specific code that will allow the software to enter the ECU. That is the reason why you have to have the right OpenPort cable. For instance even though OpenPort 2.0 is identical by looks, you can't flash Evo 7/8/9 or same age Lancers, Outlanders ect with it. You can datalog OBD but can't flash. You need 1.3U for it.

I still don't see any point for Mitsu, to do a specific ECU for Australian Mitsus. And why I point that it would be just for Australian? Because you can enter all known other countries Mitsu's with the right Openport :D
 
Our emmissions are set at a different level and our cars are very much de-tuned when compared to others this could also be a factor
 
I wont even buy that. For instance, they have never bought 2.4L Mivec to EU because it didn't pass the emissions. They made specially for european market the 4G63 N/A with double cats so it would pass the regulations. Also we do have a lot MOT regulations tighter than you here. For an example, you cant make any N/A vehicle turbocharged/supercharged if it is made after the year 1987. You cant tune your engine to have 20% more power than it already has from factory and you cant change displacement more than 25% than it already has.

Still, our ECU's are as programmable as any other countrys.
 
I would like to know some details about your cabling and connectors you have been using, when you tried to pull out the hex from ECU. Also software (if possible, version numbers also). Getting inside Mitsu's OEM ECU isn't easy.
