laptop tuning question...

[HotSauce GS N/T]

just bought a brand-new laptop running windows xp at 2.5 ghz. I really really want to use it to tune my 95 eclipse gs. Ive searched around the forum and havent found any good answers on what i have to buy or even if its possible.

all i know is the manu. date on my car is 1994 and it is OBDII

so my question is what and where can i by the OBDII cable to connect to my laptop and what software will let me tune for best performance. I already have header-back exhuast and cai and im in the process of saving some monet for p&p intake manifold and a bigger tb i heard a s-afc will tune the car to make all these mods more effective, im hoping i can use my laptop for the same purpose. thanks in advance

You wont be able to tune it. You could log parameters with logging software, but wont be able to make changes to your ecu, or fuel map w/o a SAFC, etc...

ok, i guess i can deal with that. But i was really hoping to shoot some NOS aka NAWWS and have bolts fly out of my car and look at my laptop say "SHUT UPP" and slam it down!!!

but i guess i S-AFC will do

but with all seriousness i would like to put the laptop to work, any ideas where i can get the datalogging cable/ software?

Standalone, to fine tune your car (Haltech, AEM EMS, etc.).

IMO wouldn't be worth the money, like mentioned above, S-AFC would do just fine.

Do a search on ebay for OBD2

They have kits on there all the time.

what about the dodge people? the people who turbo neaons or srt4s? do they have some some sort of "srtlink" or something that the 420a ppl cud use??

4 year old thread

At least he put effort and searched, found a relevant thread and asked his question. I dont think it matters if its 4 years old, at least he put some effort in before just asking.

Anyway, OP Msns (Megasquirt) is by far the ecu/tuning solution of choice.

A 94 would not be obd 2. It didn't come out until '95, and wasn't required until '96.
