I ended up switching back to 91 octane after about 12 years on corn for the trip (which turned out amazing: https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/1-800-mile-road-trip-to-the-pacific-coast-in-a-1g.546203/)
I just took an 1,800-mile road trip and was getting 29 MPG at 75-80 MPH, so over 300 miles per tank. 1G AWD with 14b, 850cc injectors, 91 octane, Evo VIII wheels. I was very happy with that.
I do have an older version of windows on a partition in my 2006 MacBook with Boot Camp. I used to use that to tune my Evo with EvoScan and ECUflash. I will have to look into it to see if it can run the newest version of ECMlink with the fuel pump priming feature.
I was very excited when I found out about this feature, but I have not been able to get my laptop that can run it to connect to my ECU. I made a post on ECMTuning about the issue but no solution as of yet.I'm a Mac user without access to a Windows laptop.
I've had a few different setups over the years. This is the current setup but I'm about to change it as I am going to add the heater system back into the car and reinstall the HVAC dials into the OEM locations. The new setup is going to use a dual carbon fiber center vent from eBay seller...
The item 9!'clipseDOHC's 1g DSM build has been updated:After a few years of neglect, she's back in action! New paint, windshield, window tint, PowerStop brakes, JXB driveshaft carrier bearings, headliner, etc! Ready for a new life on the street!
I drove my Eclipse to work today (you've got to drive your Eclipse on Eclipse Day, right?), and the improvement from the JXB carriers is incredible! That clunking sound it gone, the shifting is much better, and the overall quality of the drive is vastly improved. I am very glad I went this...
Since installing the FIAV bypass plate and resetting the idle it has been idling like a dream! Cold starts, warm starts, after driving, it doesn't matter. Idle has been rock solid without any surging! I am very pleased!This morning I installed the JXB Performance driveshaft bearing carriers...
I didn’t. I had the factory double din stereo so I used those side brackets and surround. I did buy the Metra wiring harness so I didn’t have to cut any factory wires. Plus it makes it super easy to to install because all the colors match up with the aftermarket stereo.
I bought a cheap Double DIN unit on Amazon with Apple Car Play. The brand is PLZ and it only cost about $120 and came with an included backup camera. You wire the camera into your backup lights, so when you put the transmission in reverse, the backup lights also power the camera on and it...
I would fix the boost leaks first. That air has been accounted for by the MAF and the ECU is adding fuel for air that is no longer there. This could have the same effect as having a boost controller running higher than stock boost and causing the stock fuel system to hit fuel cut.All the...
This is a 1G TB taken off and flipped upside down, showing the location of the Fast Idle Air Valve (FIAV).
This is great video to reference when checking the Idle Speed Controller (ISC), showing the resistance tests:And this one shows the visual inspection:This is also a great resource...
