Nope, no password, sounds like a corrupt download, try again

If you have problems, I'll stick it on my Dropbox for you.

I think that Mines would have externally flashed them, or had information from Mitsi to flash them. In saying that, all the photos of the Mines ECU's I've seen have had some kind of resin across the flash chip and microprocessor.

Alex - is that image from a 7202/7203, or a 7201? Would be nice to see the differences between the ECUs with the Mines tuning.

I'm suspecting that the mods required for this Mines tune would be a performance filter, exhaust (cat-back) and larger FMIC? Oh and fuel pump.

It's 7202/7203

what def files do you need to veiw/flash the mines rom?

Okay to clarify;

* Speed limiter is indeed removed (or rather its set to 510 KPH, I'd be terrified if the car went that fast, haha!)
* Runs slightly leaner above load 140 and engine speed above 5000 RPM
* Generally runs 4~5 degrees more timing across the board for better economy, 5-6 in torque areas, around 3 in the power areas
* Rev limiter of 7653 RPM vs the stock 7296 RPM (so loosely an extra 350 RPM)
* Boost (fuel) cut load limiter set to 220% up from the stock 170-180% (so it's upped from roughly the 0.9-1.0 bar region to roughly 1.2-1.3 bar region)
* Target engine load of 103% across the board vs the stock sliding 89%-110%-80% default scale
* Target wastegate duty cycle of 82.5% across the board vs the stock 49%-34%-67%-30% scale
* Slightly more tolerant of knocking

This reaffirms what MINES have told pauly, it'll be slightly better on economy for cruising, boost will be raised to around the 1.0-1.1 bar region with a fair bit more lower down torque and a reasonable power increase probably in the region of about 310 HP. It's definitely mapped for higher octane fuel, that's for sure and will knock like a bitch on our 95 RON, 98 RON is an absolute minimum. I'd be very worried running that tune on an ageing stock fuel pump too, it's tempting fate.

thanks for making that more clear..

getting a new fuel pump was on my post it note of "to do,s"

i was pretty happy to get any sort of response from MINES...and happy with the result of the email , thanks to google translate (japanese)....since some upgrades and decent service its never run better ..

and BP 98 octane seems to be working really well..

+1 need a def files.

I had no problem opening it with the defs from EvoScan.com, here's a link to all the defs I have;

Is there any way to find out what mods were required for that ROM, and modify it slightly to knock less? Thinking of either this or the KSMods for my car, mainly want economy tune though.

[foxdie]

If you just want the economy tune, take the timings between 0-80 load and 0-4000 RPM

For the power, given it's such an aggressive tune I'd be looking at a full service including injectors cleaned, fuel pump / pressure regulator, much larger intercooler, free flowing 3" exhaust, performance panel filter and if possible a dedicated cold air feed straight into the airbox. And if possible, meth / water injection.
