has been pretty easy to me so far, I've done some full throttle log and tunes, and just rode around town with the laptop doing part throttle and stuff...all you gotta use is the +/- key

 

Sort of. But much easier. The Auto-Map feature is really nice. You just hook it up, tell it what AFR you want, and drive around for a while. It generates its own base map.

 

AEM is supposed to do that too but I haven't had much luck with it yet

 

Yeah, that's what I've heard. Apparently the Hydra system does it just like it's supposed to. I'll have mine in a few months, so I guess we'll see. Unfortunately, it only works with their wideband, so I guess I'll have to get rid of my LM-1 when I get it.

 

DSMlink here, cant get any more user friendly than it. Its not a universal system though, only being produced for DSMs. I never recommend anything but it for any DSMers out there.

 

isnt DSM link a piggyback? cause it has to have a EPROM ECU dont it?

 

DSMlink isnt a piggyback I don't think, its pretty similar to hondata/uberdata/crome/etc etc right?

socketed ecu?

They have an autotune feature for uberdata now to! datalog lambda, export it to a spreadsheet and enter target A/F and it gives you the new values.. probably a little more steps than some of this bigger dollar stuff, but it is free. I think with ostrich maybe they have or will utilize realtime autotuning ALL the time.. that would kick ass..

 

Yea, technically it is a standalone, but it modifies the ECU from the inside through a reprogrammable Eprom chip, so you dont have all the timing and fuel map issues caused by Safc's and the like. In addition it has a ton of other features such as CEL disablement, stutterbox, no lift to shift, antilag, etc, so it is much much closer to a full standalone than it is to a piggyback.
