anyone have any recommendations on what set up to have for self-tuning and flashing

 

1. Laptop
2. Cable
3. Wideband
4. Evo

Don't really know what else you are looking for...

 

5. Know what you are doing before you start mucking with your ECU

Its really all personal preference as to what components you buy, and it really depends on how much money you are willing to spend. For me I am a big fan of the following:

1 - Zeitronix WB + EGT and Display
2 - Evo Scanner software
3 - Open ECU software
4 - Any laptop with a serial port connection, though you can add a serial port if need be
5 - Tactrix cable
6 - Fundamental understanding of how the ECU works

For the last part there is a lot of info here, so its pretty easy to find. You can also save a lot of money by just buying a tail pipe sniffer with the Innovate Motorsports LM-1, but you need to be sans CAT's if you go that route.

 

Actually if you go the Innovate route, the cheapest is to install an LC-1 ($199) - just have to weld a bung for the sensor to the end of the down pipe.

Go with the LC-1. I'd STRONGLY advise getting a boost gauge too!

 

Not necessarily in that order

 

don't know why this is so funny...

don't forget a boost gauge
