Ok i just bought a 1g laser rs and havving some issues. When i got the car it had fuel cut issue. It has a full 3 inch exhaust and k&n filter with the air can removed just filter over maf. The car is all stock other than that. I cannot figure out why it fuel cuts because it has no boost leaks. The maf is not hacked and has the honeycombs still. The bov is tight as well. All i can see that has been done is the fpr is ran to manifold and the egr is unhooked but still on the car. The solenoids on the firewall are just sitting there which i dont think is a problem.
the car has blue top 450cc injectors in it and i have just put in new plugs and i am going to put new temp sensor as well because i think the other is bad.


My other main question is can i convert to speed densiity and just crank it up and drive it without doing all kinds of tuning and stuff? I have no clue what most of the software for these cars is or what they do. I have a basic idea but i wouldn't know where to begin with dsmlink or all the other stuff ive heard about. So is it possible to just get a harness and iat and map and install it and drive?
Im a great mechanic but im kinda new to dsm ive only had 3fuel and never did much to them. Ive always built mustangs my whole life. I really love these dsms tho and wanna learn as much as possible and to get help with my car because its my dd
 
If you want to go speed density than you are going to have to get dsmlink. From the sound of it,you are a long way from doing that. There is no shortcut to effectively make more power. You are in no way overrunning the Maf so speed density wouldn't help you anyway. When you did your boost leak test how many psi did it hold and for how long?
 
I did 20psi for a while and no leaks.
my main reason for wanting sd is to not worry about mafs at all so when i start puting money in this thing i dont have to worry about it. I love the idea of sd.
Ok so what all do i need to get if i order dsm link what all other kinda stuff do i need even without doing sd and just say i want dsmlink which i do.
ive been wanting to buy dsmlink but i have no clue what all else i need.

You could go to ecmtuning.com so that it doesn't have to be spoon fed to you.
