If you have ever lowered your DSM, chances are you have ran into some alignment issues. These alignment issues can cause excessive wear to the tires which can create unsafe driving if you let it go too long. Though I am going to try and not get into the “why” of how this all happens […]
There are many different ways we can use tools to make tuning a little easier. When we log in EVOscan, the data is recorded in spreadsheet form. This allows us to view it in programs similar to Microsoft Excel. The information is valuable to us when tuning and it is important to get the correct […]
The following content belongs to Ceddy. http://ceddy.us/tuning/injectors/ Methods There are two schools of thought on setting up your injectors: That your AFR readings should match your Fuel Map, then get Fuel Trims as close as possible. Or That Fuel Trims should be perfect, and that AFR readings are going to be offset from the Fuel […]
Deleting the cruise control system on our DSM’s is very common within the community. Most people do it to clean up the engine bay, but that is not the only benefit of deleting cruise control. The cruise control is made up of two individual throttle cables with a series of pulleys. Every extra individual part […]
Injector Duty Cycle (IDC) is a very common term when tuning our DSM’s, or any fuel injector platform for that matter. IDC is an aftermarket value to represent the amount of time a fuel injector is energized (on, spraying fuel) during an engine cycle. The “time” is determined by the RPM. Our 4G63’s are of […]
Over the last month, I have spent a lot of time searching the pro’s and con’s of running a locked center differential. The center differential determines how much power is applied front to rear. Locking the center differential splits the power 50/50, front to rear. This is mostly used for drag racing to achieve a […]
I am starting this post with the intention to simply help myself document any and all information I find throughout my own Evo 8 ECU–>1G DSM process. There is a sufficient amount of information out there on the web between DSMtuners, EvolutionM, DSMtalk, club3G, the GVR4 forums, etc. But the information is amazingly spotty at […]
This video is one of several of the Weight Reduction Series on the eatsleepdsm YouTube channel. In this video, I show the removal of the basic interior parts as well as several metal supports that are held into place with factory spot welds. I am removing as much weight as possible on Poison Ivy. Partly […]

I have been asked numerous times, most recently on one of my YouTube videos, on how I wired up my push button start. You yourself may have found that when searching exactly how to do this, it is very difficult to find information. That is because of a couple of reasons. There are many different […]
Weight Reduction can be a game changer if treated respectively. It can easily be the difference between a 10 second car vs. a 9 second car as it directly affects the vehicles overall acceleration. The rule of thumb that is for every 100lbs. you remove from your car, is a .1sec improvement in your 1320 […]
scheides tested, ecu-guru approved! Still, be careful. Also, it may (and likely will) change, I’ll try and bump the thread with ‘updated’ as I do so…this is a work in progress! Converting your evo8 to speed density is a lot easier than you might think! With the right tools, some time, and careful steps you’ll […]
If you have a 95-96 DSM, you may end up using a 97-99 ECU in your 2G at some point whether it be from using a 2Gb EPROM ECU or an H8 Blackbox ECU. Maybe your 95-96 ECU took a shit and all you had was a 97-99 ECU to replace it with. Maybe you […]
For years, there has been a lot of confusion about the differences between 2 step and antilag. I just recently posted a video on Facebook of my 2G hitting 2 step/antilag and some people asked what the difference between 2 step and antilag are. So, I briefly explained it and again, I decided to make […]
Below are the DSM gear ratios. These are very useful to use in EVOscan or ECMlink to calculate the horsepower of your car. Ensuring that you have the correct gear ratios between different parts of the drivetrain is cruise. It is important not to mix-match transfer cases, rear ends, etc. with the wrong combination of […]
Over the years as people have attempted to use a 2G Blackbox ECU or an Evo 8 ECU in their DSM, people have asked a lot of questions regarding the flash port. How to hook it up, what is it, what pin do you wire it into, etc. I figured I would make an article […]
This is a short tutorial on how to install ECUflash. ECUflash is a free program that allows you to tune using either a 2G Blackbox ECU or an Evo 8 ECU. A proper install is crucial as you will have problems reading or writing ROM’s if not installed correctly. Words By AJ Hunsinger // Images […]
I had to yank a pin out of an ECU connector today so I could add a pin to the ECU connector in my 2G for my flash port (using a blackbox ECU), so I thought I would make a little guide on how to do it. It is a very simple job, but can […]
AN Size Information AN Measurements are very simple to figure out. You take an AN designation, put it over 16 in a fraction form, then reduce the fraction and it gives you the inch size form. Using -4 AN as an example, you put 4 over 16 (4/16), then reduce it.First reduction would be 2/8, […]
