anyone doing any tuning on the evo 8?

Not myself, although I am using it on my Talon. Basically the same engine family.

I am using the LM-1 to tune my Evo. I love it.

whos fuel management computer are you using?

I have the wb from tuning an old weber car so was thinking I would use it for the evo too.

any information would be useful
thanks

I am using the greddy emanage. What type of info are you looking for?

Trbo Dad, I have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind.

• Do you have the LM-1 permanently installed or just hooked up for tuning?
• Where did you install the sensor and run the wiring?
• Are you feeding the (stock) ECU from the NB output of the LM-1? If so, how is it working?

I'm considering the LM-1 for my evo and would welcome whatever thoughts you might have.

Thanks.

Permanently installed

Where did you install the sensor and run the wiring?


i have the sensor installed in the test pipe (no cat) and ran the wire to a rubber grommet under the passenger side rug, into the passenger door sill, up behind the glove box and I keep the LM-1 in the glove box.

Are you feeding the (stock) ECU from the NB output of the LM-1? If so, how is it working?

No, I use it to tune with the A/F and RPMs as well as a datalogger for monitoring timing. When used on a dyno, I found my street tune to be almost optimum. I needed only slight tweeking on the dyno and squeeked out an extra 5 hp, but I also smoothed out a small dip in the torque curve.

Overall, the LM-1 is a gem for tuning.

Thanks for the info! Especially how the sensor wire is routed. I have a high-flow cat, so I'm planning on putting the bung at the end of the downpipe but that's pretty close. I was hoping to run it the way you describe.

How are you logging RPM with the Evo? Are you using the Aux #2 cable and the inductive pickup? If so where are you hooking up the inductive pickup?
