2 step control

[DSM_GSX01]

yes i am having some problems understanding this 2 step control thing. i thought dsmlink came with a 2step already in it. i just want to know the real way to hook a 2 step up. thank you for your time and reading


also i wanted to know what other parts i might have to make this work. thanks

Nvm about that link but if you have dsmlink it should be in your first tab where you adjust idle, tps offset / scale.

DSMLink comes with Launch Control, which I guess you could call "1 Step". It sets the rev limit to a certain point until a certain speed. It should be in the Misc tab or the first tab. Click the box to enable launch control and then set the rev limit and speed. 2-step is just launch control with 2 set RPM limits and speeds. You would need a separate ignition controller and it's pretty useless on an AWD car.

ok thanks. should i get dsmlink first so i can do this? or can i do it without dsmlink? what would be better.

 

[PrimerPLus]

Everyone should get DSMLINK

 

[DSM_GSX01]

ok i am planning on getting dsmlink. is there a way to do it without?

 

[WES_393]

Yes, with an aftermarket ignition controller like these:

MSD 6-Series Ignition Boxes - JEGS

But they are incredibly expensive, hard to install, and useless once you get DSMLink. Just wait until you can afford Link.

i see i will wait till i get dsmlink. thanks

Or for an auto, the dynatek ign control..

Then again, also adding a chip with 2 step is another option..And you also have to wire the 2 step from the brake(auto) or clutch 5 speed, in order for it to turn on.


And dsmlink,ohh and evoscan/ceddymods.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

thanks do those all have 2 step. also would it be better with dsmlink?

 

[Bud92gsx]

All of those are capable of 2 step..You still have to hook it up either way.

The best and cheapest way, then you wont have to upgrade, would be LINK.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

I see now. thanks. what do you have may i ask?

 

[Bud92gsx]

I have a custom tuned chip by My1gdsm..He's a freelancer, does great work.

Your car is a 95..If I were you, I would pull the ecu out, open it up, and find out if its an eprom, and then can be socketed real easy.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

its not i already checked it i still have pictures of it. but should i put a dsmlink after i get it socketed.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Link would be the easiest, but not cheapst thing to do..

With link, you tune yourself, you can save multiple tunes..Really the best bang for your buck.Because with the new v 3.3 it has about every option you want.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

i see. i want a dsmlink more now. been wanting one for awhile now.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Get ahold of ECMLINK and they will get you a work order done up..Send them ecu,Pay for link, install and get that hump overwith.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

thanks if i have any questions i will ask them or on here. and i think that is my next thing to do.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Some of us have an open door policy..Please feel free to pm me, rather than making new threads.

I might not know the answer, but if thats the case.I probably know who does.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

thanks i have been rebuilding my engine as well and i need some advise on that so i will pm you details on my build.

 

[Bud92gsx]

We have build logs or blogs here on the site you can write your whole build on your car.

 

[DSM_GSX01]

i didnt know that i will look for that to post my build.

 

[Bud92gsx]

See guys..I have 15 posts in this thread, and was actually thanked for one..Weird right

Actually these boxes are for vehicles with a distributor. For a dsm you'd have to get a dis box which is for cars with coil packs
