I'm new to Japanese cars and evos as every single member of this forum once was, I with other new evo owners and forum members will go into the search bar and type in the most basic of searches as we are trying to learn as much as we can about the cars we own,
As an example recently I've taken an interest in engine management so I search evo 4 ecu upgrade and up comes a lot of threads some nothing to do with it but has keywords mentioned which is fine but then I find an in depth post! This is were it gets interesting but equally frustrating at the same time, I'm reading through and there are so many technical terms thrown around it's unreal, tephra, roms, ecuflash, mods, uiei or something like that?
Now this is brill but you guy's already know this so for me to read it I'm not really getting anywhere, is there a dummies way in or an explanation post somewhere with jargon busters? Break down of why people swap ECU, what a flash is, from is mod is?
I wouldn't expect you for one second to to explain yourselves during your posts, that's your post you have a goal/target in mind and need to press on without daft questions being asked but that leaves us with the daft questions out, how did you pick it up? I'm assuming all together back then when the questions weren't daft but the next level to understanding?
One thing I don't get is why would anyone swap a 280bhp ECU with a 7 260bhp ecu?
Can a new comer buy the evoscan gear and successfully upgrade his ECU with promising results?
Which ecu fit what car plug and play?
Did the 3 to 4 plug harnesses get made in the end?
Are standard ecu even a patch on the likes of link ecus?
Thanks for any input
