The pocketlogger software logs what the ECU is doing and what the engine is doing and puts it in a data sheet that you can view on your computer. Then you can see what needs to be adjusted and make them on the S-AFC. then you get to do it all over again. Yes the DSMLink is more versital and you have no need for a palm pilot or S-AFC. But you have to have a EPROM ECU and DSMLink cost more. THere are Pros and Cons to both. But for someone on a budget LIKE MUAH! I went the cheaper route.
So it all depends on what is your short and long term goals for your car MedalHeadSkater.

I mean how is your income, are you going to be a drag strip regular or just once in a while.

I went with the cheaper option(but that dosnt mean its not good) because Im in college and working part time and not really going for setting my car up for the drag strip just yet. Im going to once I graduate or close to finishing school. But so far Im not regreting the choice to go with the cheaper option.

What all mods do you have on your car, and what do you plan on getting on it in the near future.
No matter what option you choose you will need the suporting fuel mods to go along with the 16g.

I am turbo charging my 1.8 eclipse and it doesnt have a nice computer that reads everything really acurately so im just using an aftermarket wideband O2 sensor (PLX) and guage, an MAFt, a walbro fuel punp, and FPR. Seems simple and cheap enough for me. If that doesnt allow me to control everything to my liking then i may throw an SAFC on there too, but with a wideband you cant mess up as long as you keep it in the green (ok so you CAN still detonate if you run lots of boost and dont keep it rich enough to keep the combustion on the cooler side, but you know what i mean).

oh yea I forgot, if you do get a DSMLink you will still need a laptop computer to run it on to hook up to your car.
I now have a laptop so im thinking about going to the DSMLINK but not sure. I already have the EPROM ECU so thats a +

Yea thats the same problem with me. I am in college, absolutely no income at all, and not looking for a heavy dragster maybe looking for a car that can hit low 13s. I am living on whats left over my summer job. I make about 6 grand in the summer, and have about 3000 grand to play with because of insurance and car payments. But yea im definately going for the chaper option because 500 for DSMlink is desirable, but unafforadable. But can i still tune the car sufficiently for my goals with the S-AFC? Also, will it be easier to tune with it? I have avery knowledgeable DSM buddy of mine, but i still wanna bea able to learn. As for my mods, i have them listed. I still need to get a DP, maybe port my o2 housing, fuel upgrade, and i think ill be good to go for a turbo upgrade.

Thanks for the links, BTW.

So shouldnt you be running more than 16 psi....I mean the t-25 can hit 15....Im assuming that its set at 16 psi because it not tuned? If so, man its gonna suck tuning....if you cant get over sixteen im not gonna be able to get over 15

[95ClipseGS-T]

well just because im only running 16psi on the 16g its still moving a lot more air than the t25 at 16psi.
And yes once i get it tuned i'll be able to boost like 18psi on the stock side mount intercooler. with a FMIC i'll boost over 20psi. but trust me 20psi on a 16g and 20psi on a t2small is a huge diffrence.

Whats keeping you from tuning it? Is it really that hard? Or is it because of school and shit and no time? I hope its not because its really all that hard!

[Urban_Squrill]

I would love to learn too.

[95ClipseGS-T]

its just time consuming, with school and work and the holidays i've been real busy so havnt really had time to tune. plus the weather has been crappy too. always raining.

I'm clueless about tuning as well.. it's so complicated.

This thread helped a lot.

I have a question for you tuning gurus out there. If I were to get the GReddy e-01, what else would I need to tune? The e-01 is a boost controller/data logger correct? So I would need the S-AFC II still.. anything else I would need with it?
