![]() We will get our car to have a more stable idle with our new Link! OEM Idle hardware supported: Poor idle control with our Cosworth M2 cams has always been an issue with ECU flash.Precision closed loop cam control: So we can take advantage of the Evo IX’s intake variable cam timing to improve low end and mid-range torque and to use to limit cylinder pressure to reduce knock on 91 octane fuel mode.E85, Pump Gas, variable blends of the two and water injection for enhancing performance with pump gasoline and for track use thermal control on E85 and high boost. Up to six fuel and ignition maps: This will be useful because we want to have several operating modes.We are particularly interested in these of the many features the ECU offers. This is going to be very important because we want to run flex fuel and to integrate our AEM water injection into the mix. Using the Link ECU is now going to give us full control of our engine with its many features. The Evolink is basically Link’s G4 Extreme ECU but with the circuit board modified to fit in the OEM ECU case and the factory connectors to plug directly into the OEM wire harness for an easy and clean as a whistle install. Fortunately for us, Link Engine Managment makes a developed plug and play ECU for our Evo IX that installs right into the OEM ECU housing! We selected Links Evolink IX PLug and Play ECU for our next major upgrade. We wanted more control of our car’s engine but we also wanted to keep the reliable OEM connectors and wire harness and the clean and reliable OEM mounting of everything. It is basically free, community-based shareware. ECU flash is not like a Cobb Access port where the Cobb team continually updates and improves the interface. ![]() We also wanted to be able to run flex fuel and this was not possible with the stock ECU in its current development. We also wanted to get rid of the odd and problematic, especially in a car with a big cam, Mitsubishi-centric Karman Mass Airflow Meter. We were having issues with idle control and going into closed loop correctly with larger injectors. One, ECU flash being open sourced does not have all of the ECU’s controls adjustable. However, we had run into the limitations of the stock ECU. The 20-0118-FL Dual Catch Can Kit includes the PCV kit and CCV kits mentioned above, packaged together in a single box.We are finally going to a stand-alone ECU in our Project Evo IX with Link Engine Managment! Since the beginning, our car has been tuned with ECU flash, an open sourced tuning solution for the OEM ECU. What is included in the 20-0117-FL CCV Catch Can Kit: However, certain battery configurations may not permit the fitment of the air filter vent directly on the catch can side port. This catch can may be vented to atmosphere, if desired, by purchasing an air filter vent fitting, part number 20-0050 found HERE. The catch can will help keep oil out of the intercooler and associated piping. This is the hose that connects from the port on the valve cover to the turbo air intake pipe. The CCV Catch Can Kit (P/N 20-0117-FL) installs next to the LH strut tower and plumbs in-line with the crankcase vent hose. Enough black PCV hose for custom applications Anodized aluminum hose ends and adapter fittings Billet oil catch can with integrated condenser and dipstick What is included in the 20-0116-FL PCV Catch Can Kit: This kit maintains the OEM closed system operation of the PCV valve while keeping oil and other contaminants from entering the intake manifold. Note: Because the Radium catch cans are pressure sealed, they are safe for boosted applications, so connecting to the intake manifold is permitted without a check valve. The PCV Catch Can Kit (P/N 20-0116-FL) installs next to the RH strut tower and plumbs in-line between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. The Crankcase VTA kit does not recirculate crankcase gasses back through the engine and is intended for race vehicles dealing with a large amount of blow-by gasses. Furthermore, closed systems prevent unwanted oil vapors into the cabin. Closed loop systems route clean filtered air back in through the engine to be burned and to promote negative crankcase pressure for optimal performance. The first type do NOT vent to atmosphere (VTA), thus are emissions and track legal. Radium Engineering offers several completely independent oil catch can kits for the Evo 8-9 that are sold individually or together using the menu above. Radium Engineering catch cans feature large 10AN ORB ports, a 4AN ORB drain port, 2-step oil separation baffling, and an O-ring sealed dipstick. Excess oil-saturated air circulating back into the air intake stream can lead to degraded performance. An oil catch can is essential on a performance vehicle to protect the engine from elevated levels of crankcase blow-by accumulated from aggressive driving.
