Will 2g dsmlink work in a 1g

[white90gsx]

Will this work and what are the differences?

If you were thinking about just the chip, yes it should work (obviously you can't swap ECU's). There are differences when programming the chips (1g's can use various MAF's - 2g's can't and 2g's have to worry about CAS inversion - 1g's don't), but all of this can be changed in the program.

Is there a reason you're buying someone's 2g DSMlink instead of a 1g version?

I don't think you'd need anything else though. To make sure, I'd send Thomas at ECM Tuning an e-mail before purchasing though. The e-mail address is [email protected].

Well Im strapped for cash and Im able to make payments on a brand new dsm link but its for a 2g..but if i have to spend more money to get it to work im not gonna do it.

one thing I know about the dsmlink for the 1G is that if u loose power your settings won't get lost, with the 2G ecu you loose all your settings. What a pain in the ars that is when you disconnect the batt

I email that guy...So the only things are actual setting in the program thats it?

OK everyone the answer in NO....I quote Tom "You can not run a 2G chip in a 1G ECU (DSMLink or not). They simply are not compatible at all."


So there's the answer.



Thank you everyone....

Well, glad to see he got back to you quickly. My bad, but now I know for next time.

Actually, you can run a 2g DSMLink ECU in a 1g. The 2g DSMLink setup I purchased (used) was actually being used in a 1g. I guess the person wanted DSMLink before it came out for the 1g, so they modified the 2g version to work with a 1g. Don't ask me how they did it, but it is possible.
