1g dsm link

[blue64tsi]

Nothing on this part of the forum about this. Does anyone wanna talk about dsmlink? I just bought dsm link V3 for my 1g and have never tuned a car or attempted. anyone wanna comment or throw up bits of advice to help me or just tell about their dsmlink anything......lol

Im still learning, but i love it so far. I have V3 Lite though.

im just scared to go rich or lean and mess something up. my motor has 600 miles on a complete rebuild so im a lil reluctant to mess around

[talontsi92]

Do you have a wideband? If you do I would seriously consider logging it through the EGR Temp pin on the ecu. The AEM widebands need a "circuit buffer" to do so properly due to the relatively weak signal the gauge outputs and the resistance on the EGR Temp circuit. That way when you do a log, you can see exactly where your a/f's are.

Yea i have an aem wideband and i havent hooked it into the harness yet i kinda putting it off. i was going to put it in the intake air temperature sensor input tho. heard u dont need a buffer at that pin but idk for sure

[talontsi92]

You will have to "lock" your AIT through link if you do it that way. What airflow meter are you using? gm maf, stock maf, 2g, 3g/evo?

[blue64tsi]

gm maf to the computer with the dsmlink adapter cable

[blue64tsi]

1050 injectors (yeah i know really big) but i plan on e85 tune

[talontsi92]

Ok then, it wont matter if you lock it or not because the GM Maf does not have AIT provisions built in like the mitsu maf's do. I am personally leaving that open in the hopes of a move to Speed Density sometime in the future though to prevent potential wiring headaches.

[blue64tsi]

Yea im new at even the concept of tuning so idk.

Might just try and get the fuel trims set and take it to buschur

Dave doesnt mess with it...

gm mafs do use air temp as a factor of figuring air mass. it is calculated and compensated for in the airflow signal. they do not have barometric pressure however, that is why gms with mafs also used a map sensor.
wanting to switch to sd? ditch the link and mosy on over to www.ds-map.net some things are still in development, but its a quick power gain just switching.
