If the 3.0 ecu doesn't work, check out diyautotune.com for megasquirt kits configured for your ride. They've done a ton of mitsu's, and are nice guys. Almost as obsessive as Ed... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />


LOL! Me? Obsessive? Must be my evil twin. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Yea, I was looking at their stuff last night. Wish I had the manifold and injector setup already 'cause that's perfect for my 'Bird.

Emissions testing here is funky. I'll be fine with the 3.0->3.5L swap. Our testers aren't smart enough to tell a 3 from a 3.5 let alone the years. They're supposed to test based on the year of the engine not the vehicle but what they don't know won't hurt them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The CEL is the biggest potential issue. If it's on for ANY reason or there are even pending codes (codes that don't turn the light on but exist in the computer), they fail the vehicle. They'll actually fail the emissions test if your CEL is on for a ABS issue. Go figure.
