Managing Power

ECU change isn't as easy as it looks. It's taken 2 days and everything's fine. Except for the air-conditioning. And the damn alarm. Anyhoo, power is restored to my 4G93. Not too mental power, but then again, it's never been truly tested yet. Here's to hoping that it manages to sail past the 180 mark and go on to reach the great 200. Pipe dream perhaps, but not truly impossible methinks.

Here's the original part list(what was supposed to go in):
1) Evo 2 ECU
2) Evo 2 wiring
3) Evo 2 throttle body
4) GSR inlet manifold
5) Evo 2 spark cables
6) Evo 2 Injectors
7) Evo 2 Air Sensor w/piping
8) MMC knock sensor
9) MMC relay
10) A/C reconfig relay

Here's what went/stayed in:
1) MMC ECU
2) Evo 2 wiring
3) MMC throttle body
4) Siemens/Proton inlet manifold
5) GSR spark cables
6) MMC Injectors
7) GSR Air Sensor w/piping
8) MMC knock sensor
9) MMC relay
10) A/C reconfig relay


Here's what went horribly wrong:
1) A/C Compressor kick in loads too high leading to...
2) inconsistent idling when A/C is turned on...which means....
3) car is tuned up to 1500rpm on normal idle...
4) losing 6000-8000rpm when A/C is turned on..
5)dammit...something always has to go wrong.

So there...my worries of the past 48 hours and more...
