Details

Highlights
Fits: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (CT9A), Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR (CT9A). Plugs into the factory harness with no cutting or splicing. emtron.world does not list this product; no maker price published. The maker's EVO 9 manual covers it. Factory coils are wasted spark on 2 ignition outputs. Drive by wire is possible by reassigning 2 auxiliary outputs (fuel pressure solenoid and intercooler spray relay). Wideband lambda needs an Emtron ELC lambda-to-CAN module, sold separately. Fitting an intake air temperature sensor to expansion pin 3 means unplugging the factory MAF temperature sensor (shared pin).
