tioklou Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hello, I want to ask you if it is possible to use the evolink G3 on this car that has an ecu with same (4)pins. The car is a mitsubishi lancer VI 1997 (CK1A) and has the 4g13 engine 1300cc 12v with map sensor and dizzy. Stock ecu model:MD328466 Thank you very much.

Adamw Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 If you attach or link to a pinout for your factory ECU I can compare to our ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioklou Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately i could not find any pinout for my ecu until now except for the number of pins and the number of connectors that are the same as evolink G3.

tioklou Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I made a mistake about the ECU model and change it in the first post. I found some more information about the ECU but i need your help as an expert. http://www.kaxlon.com/mcs/manualer/colt_lancer_98_electrical.pdf pages 52-59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 The pinout is very similar to the Evolink. Obviously the evolink is only suitable for a manual transmission, so you cant use it if you have auto trans. Fuel pump and air conditioning relay are swapped but should work by just changing the assignment in the software. The factory MAP sensor goes to a pin that is not connected to anything in the Evolink, but the evolink G3 had its own MAP sensor anyhow so you will just need to connect the hose.

tioklou Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thank you very much. I have a manual transmission so we are fine. I also have a few questions. 1. How about the dizzy connection? 2.I have also a rear O2 sensor that is not seen in the ecu pinout picture. 3. Tps sensor,air intake temp sensor,coolant temp sensor,ISC motor,crankshaft sensor are in the same pins? 4. immobiliser (The evolink G3 i want to use is for mitsubishi evo 7-8).

Adamw Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 It will work as is. Set the trigger mode to match whatever it has on the toothed wheel inside the distributor. Set ignition mode to distributor. Rear o2 is not used. Yes. Immobilizer will no longer work. The G3 Evolink is not specific to Evo7-8, it does Evo 1-8.

tioklou Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thank you for one more time for you useful information and your help. So distributor needs only software tuning through the ECU? I will try to find the information about toothed wheel on the distributor and i will ask your help for calibrations. Is there something else i need to take care of? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioklou Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Do you also offer extension ecu harness for evo in order to add knock sensor or wideband O2 without make any mods on the stock harness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 The G3 does not have knock control. The expansion loom part number is #XSL or SKU 101-0106, available from any Link dealer. The G3 Evolink has 1 analog input, 1 temp input and 2 digital inputs on the expansion connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioklou Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Thank you for the loom part number. I thought evolink is like linkplus and has Knock control input. So distributor only needs the appropriate values on software and nothing more. Is there anything else to have in mind before first start up?

tioklou Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hello again, I have in my hands the evolink G3. The Ecu doesn't have an internal map sensor but only an external unit. How will i connect it because you said that "factory MAP sensor goes to a pin that is not connected to anything in the Evolink" On its back side has a hidden usb port. behind a sticker. I attach some pictures of the ECU map sensor and cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 At the top of the G2/G3 forum is a sticky post titled "G2/3 Manuals". The Evo link manual is in there. The MAP sensor installation and connection is page 12 & 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioklou Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Of course it is and i have already read it. But the problem is that this ECU is for evo and the information is to connect it on the exhisting AFM connector. The engine i have does not have a AFM but only map sensor. Is it possible to tell me the pins of of the stock evo ecu and the pins of the evolink to connect it? Thank you for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 After giving it some thought, you can use the factory MAP sensor, move the map sensor signal wire from pin 85 to pin 90 at the ecu connector. The Factory MAP sensor will then be connected to "Load 2" input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioklou Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thank you very much for one more time for your help. Iwant to ask you if you support this extension ecu harness in order to make the cable change and to leave mine in stock form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I dont see any reason why that wouldnt work. But you only need to move 1 pin. You dont need to cut any wires or anything, just extract the pin out of the connector and move it to the new position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tioklou Posted February 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I will try that. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
