9129, DSMLink / Standalone
Posted by RST95eclipse, Jan-14-05 06:25 AM
I'm looking into a tuning method for the 4g63 platform. DSMLink is the most appealling to me. However, I've looked into Megasquirt. People say that Megasquirt is better than DSMLink. Why is this? DSMLink let's you do essentially the same thing as Megasquirt, plus more. Am I wrong here? Are there any other systems or standalones that I should be looking at?

DSM link is the closest thing to a standalone, even a megasquirt isnt standalone, the dsm link you have a studder box, you can control EVERYTHING that the megasquirt does. Trust me, go with DSM link you will love it. its so easy to tune you just set it to your injectors and you datalog it

DSMLink without ANY question. Aside from a full standalone EMS, this is the best thing available by far.

Thank you so much you don't even know...I got flamed up the ying yang trying to tell the other section that the Megasquirt is not a standalone!

Go with the DSM link or AEM EMS..The AEM has better tuning capabilities but cost four times as much after you get done buying everything for it...

Basically anything you want your car to do, the AEM will tell it to do just that.

Basically AEM EMS is a fully programmable on the fly ECU. You have complete and total control over every aspect of the car. MUch more elaborate than Link but it's also over $1500.

Sounds like DSMLink is what fits for me. Just want to get to 350-400hp in the future. Nothing serious, just a fun car when compared to most of you guys posting. Not too many people in my part of MN that have 350hp tuned machines. Thanks for the help.

Dont get me wrong, 300 AWHP is nothing to laugh about. Not to much will beat you.
