Guest |151| Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm looking into the viability of fitting a V44 to a Legnum VR-4. Engine is a 6A13TT. Would anyone know if the trigger pattern for this engine would be compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 The pattern may be supported now when you select Mitsubishi GTO. Also the ECU in this car should have the same pinout as the EVO 4. If so the plugin ECU board could be used. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |151| Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 thanks Ray, could you confirm this re: Evo 4. Here's the Legnum VR-4 pinout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have just checked and the extra injector and ignition outputs were not added to the Plugin ECU so it would support six cylinders. It may be possible to add the missing outputs by modifying (adding link wires) the base board. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |151| Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I just noticed the same. Just wasnt' sure if it was possible to mod the board to enable these pinouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I am sure it can be done. I just need to have a look at what is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |151| Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 thanks Ray, I look forward to hearing your results. Little is known about these engines and there's fast a growing community of us becoming interested in using aftermarket ecus. If we can get a plug-in Vi-PEC to work in our Legnums and Galants then I'm sure it will more than likely become the weapon of choice.

rayhall Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 There will be no problem modifying the EVO4 plugin to suit the V6. You just need to order it through a dealer this way. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |151| Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks Ray that's great news. I will be following this up with Mark at Godzilla. Unless of course Lumpy wants to help out an old N13 Pulsar buddy [edit] obviously there wouldn't be a base map on it, would this be something that you would like done so that you can load it for future orders?

rayhall Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Do you have a complete pinout for this ECU you can send me or post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |151| Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I put one together for Mark at Godzilla. It's on my work computer but I won't be in the office till Thursday so I can send it then, otherwise get in touch with Mark and get him to email it to you.

Guest |171| Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi Ray, Mark is currently fitting the modified Evo4 plug in board to my Legnum and I was wondering what you thoughts were on the following comments made by RPW regarding their plug and play Haltech E8/E11 kit: "One of the things with these vehicles, is the factory ECU controls the alternator charge rates. Cheaper ecu like wolf, microtech, ems stinger etc do not have this function, and as a result, would require either changing of your alternator to a different unit." Will this be an issue with the Evo4 plug in board being used in my car? EDIT: I've also emailed Mark a more complete wiring diagram for the manual 6A13 to help with the install. cheers Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayhall Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 After a bit of Google searching... There are two wires connected to the ECU and the Alternator. They are FR and G signals. FR: Is the alternator load signal to the ECU, so it can automatically correct idle speed based on the load. G: Is a signal from the ECU to the Alternator to control its power output. With this wired grounded the alternator charge will be reduced. If you do nothing with it, the alternator will work as normal. Based on this information you do not have to do anything with these and the alternator will do its job. Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest |171| Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks Ray, can't wait to see what the vi-pec can do! cheers Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
