My son claims it to be, not more complicated, but so many more perameters, that ECMLink is just an easier program, he says.
 
Even "The Shop Houston" wouldn't tune it? They flipping advertise they will. Weirdos. Small wonder they don't want to reply to me requesting dyno time.

I just use a guy I trust to remote tune mine (your old sh**). He is fairly well known. But I don't have some wild 1000+hp build either.
Here is the thing. I could find some to tune it, but because it was Ecmlink, they turned their nose up at it. Do that, and wont trust you. But I have a guy now.
 
I've read it's more difficult to use than ecmlink. Is that true? If you can tune on ecmlink can you jump into to Link or is it much more complicated?
Well honestly Ive never messed much with Dsmlink other than to tune from the passenger seat while people drove, I havent used it on my own personal vehicles, I went from socketing ecu's and burning chips for them to flash based ecu to standalone, but I will say that like with anything there is a learing curve, the great thing is the level of support on the forums, its got to be at least as good at the Dsmlink forums and probably way better, the engineers and developers will get on there within 24 hours generally and give you an answer about just about anything you would want to know if someone else didnt answer you well enough in their eyes.

They will often times have you send your tune to them and they will actually run it on their bench to make sure its working or doing what you want it to do and if its not they will assist in making it work for you, its really a great resource and worth the price of the ecu. You can download the software and play with it for free like I did before making the purchase, I also went on the forums and looked around to see how they behaved with questions or complaints, and I really liked what I saw. You wont see much monkeying around or joking over there, it might just be the busy nature of the job that they have or just the difference in cultures between New Zealand (where they are) and other countries like here, but they definitely seem interested in the job at hand at Link. The ability to make running changes in the firmware and software is awesome too, they have an area where you can even request changes for the next update and if its a good idea they will generally put your idea into the next updates. I highly suggest going over to the forums and downloading the software to play around with.

To add to this, theres ALOT more things that you CAN play with on a standalone ecu and especially the Link ecu, however you generally never need half of those things to make the car do what you want, they are just there for certain situations on certain cars that may need or want those things at some point, keep in mind that a standalone ecu uses the same basic layout for every car that it can be used on, so that means single cylinder up to V-12 engines will use the same software layout, again though most of it wont apply to most people or be needed to be messed with, just because its there doesnt mean you need to open it up or mess with it. There are base maps included for most popular cars out there including Dsm and evo, they are enough to get you up and running, I had mine running and drivable in about an hour, logging and tuning went on from there. One of my favorite features is the autotune which will tune your speed density numbers in each cell to match your desired numbers on your fuel table, another one is the LIFETIME WARRANTY to the original owner!

So would you all say me buying a PC for my DSMlink V2 was a mistake? Engine is in the re-freshing process but I fooled around with it a bit b4 the Deconstruct. Didn't find it all too crazy and I'm a complete newb. Well not complete...:aha:LOL

Would V3 be a serious necessity once the engine is back in or can I tune it, then move into the the V3 later?
 
Honestly upgrading to v3 and ditching the maft setup is going to alleviate a lot of headaches you may run into.
That's definitely the plan. just want to get her situated with V2 since its what I'm rolling with for the moment. Didnt Really have too many issues prior to the head removal; idle was jacked but I can almost bet it was the rings and incorrect crank venting. I couldnt deal with all the problems from the prior owner/s thus starting from scratch...
 
I have no experience with them but Jestrtuning is in FL and says the tune ECMLink.
Yeah John Estrada is awesome

But I need someone to finish my whole new build before he can tune again.

I need a place to finish my 1990 dsm fab turbo piping ,fuel system and dyno tune.
I live in central Florida and OSTAR is too busy.please DM me with anyone who can do good work..I'm willing to pay someone to come to my ranch and use my tools and put in my new double clutch and liberty nodded tranny. Willing to pay cash daily.
I'm in new smyrna beach Florida.

Need the car done asap and cannot find anyone

Vin I know how you feel. My car is pretty much done and needs to be tuned also. And like you I rather have someone that is familiar with the ECMLink program to tune it. I don't have any social media stuff also so it makes it kinda hard. Kings told me if it was evo scan it would be no problem but I can bring the car and they can mess with it and figure it out (big no no for me). Real street said they only tune full standalone ecu vehicles. I didn't try the rest but you did and that was no better LOL. I was going to try Tampa next. I tried messing around with the program a little and got a little out of it, but I'm no tuner. I'm good with the wrenching part but not the tuning part and I don't want to blow up my car before I even get to enjoy it.

4 years later and I still can find a shop
