General 1g tuning methods

[christruk42]

I origins thought my only option was to buy a dsm link and they cost a pretty penny but I was told by a guy who’s apparently done it before that I can get a black box ecu outa a 98 eclipse which are like 100$ and swap it with mine as long as I require the spark plugs in the order of the 98 and then I’ll be able to tune. Anyone have any experience I plan on doing this but idk if it’s full of problems. if it’s possible though I’d save a ton of money. thanks

They aren't that cheap unless you get one from the junkyard. But the odds of that aren't great.

ECMlink and never look back. If you think the cost of a tuning platform being $545 is pricey, you might want to rethink being a DSMer. Are you looking for a 1g or 2g? Title says 1g...but youre asking about a 2g ecu. Or are you wanting to put a 2g ecu into your 1g?

Very true! Try $775 for 420a tuning equipment.
