God damn this aftermarket ECU garbage is confusing the hell out of me. I'm on the verge of ripping out this Link and going back to stock ECU setup, as stupid as it sounds. The other weekend I shot down to Bombay to meet up with Alienprobe to dial a slightly more drivable tune into my 4WD TX3's Link (so I can take it down to Tauranga in a couple weeks' time to get the new exhaust fabbed.) We managed to smooth out a lot of the niggly issues with the fuel map, but we're having no luck with the ignition map as the car performs very sluggishly at anywhere above quarter throttle. One reason I believe this to be happening is that the Link G1 V5 instructions are very vague as to setting the base timing. What we've done is set the "Advance Limit" to zero, ticked the little box in PCLink that says "Set Static", rotated the CAS until we reached the amount of required ignition advance (confirmed with the timing light), then locked it in and entered that number into the "Static Ign" field in PCLink. I think we've done it correctly, but can anyone confirm this? But wait, there's more... I was speaking to someone earlier and they mentioned that as I'm running a wasted spark setup (MX-5 CAS with Mitsubishi coils and igniter) the base timing figure will be half that of what I'm seeing at the crank pulley. In other words, if the timing light is flashing at 12 degrees, the base timing is actually only at 6 degrees. Is this correct at all? It seems to make sense when you think about how a wasted spark setup fires once every 360 degree revolution of the crank, rather than once per 720 degrees. Cheers for any advice that may help in getting this stupid car running the way I want it!

Plz excuse novvy post on acct of beingafrustratedgirl/inabilitytoreadinstructionsanyway, Currently moving a 4g63t engine across from one ex lancer to another (originally built by motardbiker, has various adds and changes, which I have so diligently and enthusiastically listened to explanations of (just get it going FFS!). Current ecu is a Mitsubishi RVR MD312467, apparently NOT the same as the Evo1 ECU wired in using the ex lancer loom. New ecu I believe is evo3 and has attached loom. Google has been fruitless. Even in German. I'm told. I need a 'colour coded pinout for the rvr ecu' ... Would like to see this thing going BEFORE the newly acquired blackmail Xmas puppy is having its own,,, Thanks in advance
