Need help with Data logging

[Remyink]

I have question. I am fairly new to the tuning aspect of the DSM world. I know about DSMlink and safc. What I need some help with is, what is a nice and economic solution for datalogging. I would like to know the motor is doing. I have searched and a lot of things come up. Some are older threads.

I would like to eventually get DSMlink. At the moment that is not an option. I have read from the forums somewhere that a nice data logger can be had for about 100$.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

If all you want is a logger, there's a free one out that should work. All you'd need is a laptop and cable.

Otherwise, unless you have specific questions, there should be enough info out there comparing S-AFC and DSMlink.

Thanks for the link snowboarder. I was reading thru the thread, and could not figure out what kind of cable I would need to purchase. It also states that it only has support for the 98 99 models. Mine is a 97. Does the newest version support 97?

Looks like a good datalogger.

Someone got it to work on their '97.

And the first post contains some cable information as far as what works. There is also cable info throughout the thread.

Since I got you hear. What's the biggest size injector I can go with and an SAFC. I've been reading that 550 work pretty well with it. 660 is pushing it. What do you think. Thanks.

 

[snowborder714]

660cc is the biggest you'd be able to run. Some people have said they are hit or miss on ease of controlling once you go that large.

Thats what i've been thinking. Cool. Thanks for you help. Ill just prob go with some 550 then and safc. then ill start saving for DSMlnk. Thanks again.

Any reason you don't want to just save up for DSMlink right from the start? If you go with an S-AFC, you'll have to purchase that and injectors and wire it in. Then you'll have to rip it out and potentially switch injectors (since you can run whatever ones you want with DSMlink) when you go that route.

Unless that is out of your goal set, then that's fine.

I'm the one who tested the 97. Read through the thread and if you have any questions about it, PM me. It seems to work as good on the 97 as the 98/99 years.

Evoscan is reasonably priced!
Check out the MHI Scan if you can get it to work on 97.

A 1G NT 4G63 uses the same tools as the turbo cars for logging, MMCd, TMO, PocketLogger, Tuner/Palm n'Stein, etc.
