My friend Mike's Talon setup plans.... opinions please!

[E-Klips]

Exactly... I agree! It is still lying to the computer and with that much fuel/air flow I wouldnt trust it at all. The only reason I did it was to see if it worked.

When used with DSMLink or an AFC, you set the translator to 450cc injectors on the base knob and leave the low-mid-high knobs at 0. This has no error effect on anything the AFC does. This will actually allow you to run a larger injector with an AFC. You can literally run 950s (set the base to 950cc injectors) and have you AFC settings at 0 and fine tune with the AFC. Makes it a lot easier to use the AFC with larger injectors. But still DSMLink is much better and user friendly. Same goes with DSMLink, you set the translator to 450cc injectors on the base knob and set what injectors you have in DSMLink. Then fine tune from there.

that's pretty much what I said...dial in the injectors, then tune with the safc, but in practice it doesn't work that well

You brought back a thread over a month old.

Hey Thor.... I realize this is an old thread, but I came across a bit of useful info. If your main deterrent to going with DSMLink is that you'll have to buy a laptop, you should look at the option of running DSMLink off your palm pilot. Apparently, a DSMLink enthusiast by the name of Hal Landry wrote software to run link on a palm pilot with Palm OS 3.5 or higher, you can find more info on the DSMLink forums.

[gthompson97]

You can get laptops on ebay very cheap these days with more than enough requirements to run DSMlink, and you are right, you can also run it on palm pilot if you HAVE to. Still, nothing should deterr you away from link, it rules all.

[Thor06]

Thanks man, but I will have a laptop for my DSMlink. Mike is just a broke ass. I honestly doubt that he will get any farther on modding his car, he just cant hold onto money, doesnt work overly much, and really wants to move out.

[gthompson97]

Tell him to give his money to you and you will "save it" for him

[Thor06]

Yeah, dont think that will work . He used to want me to help him so he would tell me what he wants to buy and I would help him decided if he really wanted to do that or save for his car (this was a while ago, before he bought his car). I thought it worked ok, atleast until I realized he was depositing $200-$250 a check and still had X amount of dollars in the bank after each week. Whatever I guess, he's going to have to learn a really hard money lesson here in a few months. Moving out and $2000 stroker on $800 a month from McDonalds isnt really going to work.

800 a month? Ah, the good old days... My monthly bills more than triple that figure.
