Re: Project 2G GSX
 

After talking with Shane, I think I am going to switch to ECMLink. I have a few questions though. What all do I need to run ECMLink versus AEM EMS? I'm guess I won't need my AEM AIT sensor anymore. Do I still need a 5-bar MAP or just get a 3-3.5" GM MAF? Trying to get everything together and ordered. I don't have the OEM ECU. Which one would I need to get?

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Why a GM MAF? Why not just stick with a Mitsu one? 2g and Evo 8 MAS's go a long way. I personally wouldn't run a GM MAF unless I had no other choice, not worth the hastle in my opinion.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Or you could keep the IAT and MAP sensors and run speed density with ECMLink.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

x2. Keep the iat and map sensor and just run speed density with it. I know you used to always want a '95 eprom ecu for ECMLink. I'm not sure if you can use other years that aren't eproms any more though.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

This is great news. I wasn't sure if that was an option with ECMLink. Makes me feel a little more comfortable that I would only need to give up the AEM EMS versus everything that I already have.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

And you'll be a couple hundred dollars ahead after selling the AEM and getting ECMLink.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Even better, then I can spend it elsewhere.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Added ECMLink to my list of parts to get. What should I run for injectors?

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Lots of people like the FIC 1680 high-Z injectors for E85. My FIC 1350's aren't bad, but a friend with a similar setup to mine has FIC 1450's and hates them.

Don't get PTE 1200's if you're running E85 either. There have been about a million of them to fail, some people say they are not compatible with E85, others have run them with no issues. I wouldn't take the chance on a vehicle of mine.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Cool, thanks for the info. Shane also recommended those injectors. Sounds like people have really liked them.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Updated my parts list. Getting a little closer to done.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Very nice and long mod list! We need moar pictures!

AEM widebands have a very easy to read display and are easy to log in dsmlink.

Also depending on how much power you're looking to make a boost a pump is an easy option to make more power on a single pump and not do anything crazy.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Thanks Brad, I was thinking about going with the AEM wideband. As far as the fuel goes, I am not really sure on what kind of power I will be making. I'm guessing somewhere around 500 give or take some.

I'll post up some pictures soon! I really don't have many right now to be honest. lol

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Just finally registered and insured the car last week. I am hoping to have it on the road within the next couple of weeks. Such a good feeling to finally get to this point! Now I am curious as to what kind of numbers I will pull.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Good to see another high HP 2g. Looking very good.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

I like the way it keeps making power with RPM.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Nicely done. Can you link me to these High-Z 1680 injectors? I've never heard of them.

Re: Project 2G GSX
 

Sure, np.
