will a 95 ecu go straight into a 97gst???

[92nt]

Any input would be appreciated, i want to be able to use the obdI on my car to tune it. If not what would it take to make it fit.
Thanks alot

95 is obd2

i thought 95 was obd1 so what is the best way to tune a 97?

Obd1 is so much better.

Actually i confused myself... isnt the 95ecu the one dsmlink works with???

yes it is for dsmlink & yes it will work on a 97, but i am not sure about Non-turbo ECU's if that is what you are putting it in.

Well he already said he's putting it into a 97 GS-T.

Yes, the 95 ECU is the EPROM one that DSMlink uses (well, there are a rare few 95 ECUs that are not EPROM, but most of them are). Yes, it will fit directly into a 97. Yes, it is OBDII-- everything from 95 up is.

I don't think there's a way (at least not an easy one) to get it to work in an OBDI car, but since yours is a 97 anyway, that's a non-issue.

actually not to put anyone one down but if you go directly to the DSMlink webpage, you will see this:

The '95-'96 style Cam Angle Sensor (CAS) sends out a signal that's electrically "inverted" from other DSM cam sensors (1G or '97+ style). When you put a '95 ECU into a car with a non-95 CAS, the ECU ends up swapping the firing order of the injectors. In most cases, this produces very little noticeable difference in drive quality. But we offer the option to invert the CAS signal anyway just in case. You can selectively invert this signal with the DSMLink software as you wish. You will still need to swap your spark wires, though. We can't control spark firing order in the EPROM at crank time. So even with CAS inversion, you still have to swap plug wire 1 with 2 and 3 with 4.

sorry just thought I would clear it up.

Yes, that is good information. When I said "fit" into a 97, I meant the ECU physically fits into the same location. I thought that's what he was asking.
