Hello!

[MightyMuggs]

I bought a 1995 Mighty Max about 2 months ago, it needs new ball joints and control arms (which I will be doing this weekend.) I am wondering if dropping a turbo in the thing is worth it (after upgraded fuel system and ecu tune of course.) If it is worth it then I am wondering how to go about tuning an OBD1 ecu.

Generally you wouldnt bother with tuning such an old ecu. Its a case of taking the eprom micro chip out, wiping it, and burning new code onto it. easy enough when theres good support out there.
Now days its cheaper, easier, better tunability and data logging and theres more support to run either a link or megasquirt or speeduino

(obd1 ecus have very slow data output, its like a 28k modem vs fibre for modern ones)

As for the turbo
go for it, dig into other mitsis with turbos and 4g64 engines, theres plenty of info and parts. manifolds are easy to come by.
These trucks really go so much better with double the stock hp

Thanks for the information, so I've been told I need to tune the ecu to be able to "process" the turbo.

[tortron]

yeah you generally want some control over the spark and to be able to pump up the fuel

2.4 truck ecu basicly same as the DSM.... and look at the fantastic tweaks/results
Only for the very advanced hot rodder tho
Megasquirt not hard and affordable.... probably most practical
Some starions down under, superb performance using the truck 2.4 as an upgrade to oem 2.0sohc
