Cool kill madmat. </P>


Spyderman, Are you gonna dyno tune? The dyno doesn't lie.....but dude, don't waste your money. Get the pocketlogger or even DSMlink, and just go ahead and starttuning. If you got the turbo ecu and injectorsthen tuning won't be too hard, but if you still got the 4g64 ecu, then your in for some trouble. Start as soon as you can. What's your boy with the Supra doing? A turbo upgrade or BPU stuff?</P>

I have the turbo ecu upgrade, but I haven't even started tuning because i want to upgrade to a dif. ecu. My buddy with the supra is installing an SP67. HKS FMIC and a few other goodies. Its not gonna be the fastest thing on the road, but it'll still be something to contend with.<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

NICE!!!</P>


IMO, i would keep the turbo ecu and just get the greddy emanage full setup. You get control over fuel trim, ignition, and timing(i think) and is a datalogger. It costs a little less than a stand alone, and is very tuner friendly. You can even get the big tv looking thing for it! Pretty sweet, and it's totally piggy back( it does very well for a piggyback). That means that when you decide to upgrade to a different car, you can take it with you!!! Not that bad at all!!!</P>

Yea I'm gonna tune at the dyno's first time so that I have a basemap that will be worth something later on. When I start changing my setup it will be easier already having a basemap thats highly tuned. Plus I do get a discount if I go in a group so it will be rather nice. I think I'm going with AEM or DSMLink. I'm prob. gonna decide/order sometime next week. Yea I am going to go with the piggyback though. I'll prob. invest in a pocketlogger soon so I can do my own tuning, but until then I'm just gonna have to get it done at the local dynos. Also, Which would be better to tune with; 93 octane or 106 octane? I've heard opposing views about tuning with each. Problem is each of those views were from guys who didn't drive Mitsubishi's. Any thoughts?

DO NOT GET THE AEM! Not very good, many people are starting to realize that now. The DSMlink is a good choice, but think about when you wanna sell your car, you'll lose out on the $800 you spent on the dsmlink. Where-as the Greddy system you can take out of your spyder before you sell and just put in your new car. Anyways, it's better to tune with the fuel you're going to use more. So the nod goes to 93. Remember, timing goes a long way to extracting power on higher octane fuel.

I've never heard anything but good comments about AEM. I've used it myself and loved it. What have you heard about it though? I'm not ever planning on selling my car in its stock form so when I sell it I will sell it as is so the DSMlink might be a good choice. Very true about the fuel. I drive the car daily so 93 would prob. be the best choice. Thanks for the info.</P>

still don't have my gsx back, butsomehow I handed it to a turbo talon last night in my SpecV. is it just me? or do people not know how to drive? we went light to light, and he stayed with me through 2nd, but when he shifted to 3rd, I still had 2500 left till redline. I hit 6000, shifted, and see ya! weird though, I figured he would have something done.. just a loud BOV, lol.. whats the point of sounding like you have something, but not being able to back it up? WTF? <IMG height=26 src=smileys/smiley8.gif width=33 border="0">

I feel ya, when I drive my GSX I don't even bother with anything other than GTs, Z28s, and the occasional trash talkin bitch. its not only NOT worth my time, but not worth my gas either! I do love watchin the faces on those V8 mustang drivers as I pull away from them in a 4 banger though!! best feeling in the world. GO DSMs GO
