Right now, virtually nothing except a MAF Translator and some tweaks to my ECU. I had an AFC, an Apexi Neo, coupled with a pocketlogger, but I am convinced that the flaws in the Neo are what prevented my previous set up from holding a tune and messed up my previous motor. I ran at the shootout un-tuned, which was a huge mistake I will admit since it did hurt my times a LOT. I've messed around with the MAF a little since then and swapped some different injectors into it and it's running a lot better now despite some serious boost leaks. It is still relatively un-tuned compared to where it should be, although it isn't really breaking apart that much and air/fuel isn't too bad right now. It's still running too rich for my liking, but I honestly have to fix the leaks and replace the intake and throttle body (since both got busted at the track) before I really attempt to tune anything.
Anyways, I really need to commit to a standalone system because at this point any piggyback isn't going to cut it. I really don't want to use V3 of DSMLink since I've heard of and encountered a lot of bugs in it. I was thinking of AEM EMS, although I'm terrified of tuning it myself with that, lol. I'm still looking around and seeing what options I have, but in the mean time I know that in any event I'm going to need to send my ECU in and get it chipped again for the mods I have put on there since the shootout, plus I have a few more mods I still need to do to the car before I can really consider it done as a project car...or at least at the point where I will still consider it streetable. I heard something about Open ECU for EVO's working well with DSMs with the right ecu chip/setup. Do you know anything about that?
