Mitsubishi Fuel Map

[gurudel]

I am kinda new to this but I am looking into ECU maps on my Mitsubshi Lancer and was wondering if anyone had some hints or places to get started. I have already started looking around diy-efi and and just generally confused on the whole process. I have a laptop with an rs232 cable, do I just plug that into my ecu and start communications with a hex editor or do I need to download the ecu info as a bin file? If so what programs are recommended?

Thanks all,
Vince

Dear Vince,

Check the following website, it gives you all you need to know to start. It's a very compressed, well organised article that doesn't confuse you and gives very good links to everything you might need. I spent almost a month to know this much about chiptuning.By reading this article you will go the way in less than 2 hours:

I wish it helps.


Cheers

What year lancer are you talking about? There are lots of people working with various versions of the code for earlier generation mitsus(the eclipse, and some older lancer EVOs). One place to look for some info would be

http://www.ecimulti.org

and another would be

If you are talking about a newer Lancer, this info may not be 100% relevant, but its a start.
