I would go with the ECU plus over the SAFC in my oppinion. Seems to have more functionality and "tweak" ability.

Though I cannot speak from experience on either ECU+ or SAFC... I've only owned DSMLink. But I thought very heavily between ECU+ and DSMLink and decided to spend the extra cash for DSMLink.

but it says that it will not work with dsm cars on their web site.

thats why i wanted to ask if it could be used effictavley before i spend the money on it.

I haven't looked into it but I'm going to take a guess & say they offer two versions of ecu+, one for the evo, like you mentioned & a version for DSM's. It sounds like their not interchangeable, so you would need to get the DSM version.


As for ecu+ vs SAFC, I would say there isn't much comparison. I would take it any day over an SAFC. I had considered ecu+ back when I was looking for a "tuning package" but at the time ecu+ was missing a few features that I considered pretty major, compared to DSMLink. I believe they have since taken care of some of these missing pieces (measuring knock, fuel trims, etc) but not sure about injector compensation limits.

What about dsmlink, dsmap, or megasquirt? More viable options imo than safc or ecu+.

 

[turboking15]

i cant get an safc for 130 and the ecu + for around 150

vs. 500 on up for the others you mentioned

Dsmap is CHEAP as is MS. . . Up to you man. . . Just wouldn't be my choice.
