KNOCK GAUGE????? Thats awesome. When is this coming out? I'd be sure to buy one.

Oh, and what do you mean mas hacks? We can hack the MAS now with a 2g with this chip???

 

Sounds awesome. I think I'll be picking one of these up. Any information on pricing?

 

New chip is in....

From old settings on AFC settings to now, no changes by the MAS hacks. Looks like his map is a winner.

My stock boost gauge isnt moving at the moment, which is a GOOD sign. Im going to try and lean things out a bit to see if I can get some knock to test it more.

Ill have more time to tune in a bit after the traffic dies down

Bigjangin: Yes! I currently have my lower and side HCs out! Running like a charm. Gains, feels like a spool reduction and sounds a little different during spool.

Ikickuinthenuts: The pricing should be around 90-100 just like a fully hacked 1G chip.

He also has plans of selling the 95 ECU with a chip too, a combo deal, for you 96+ owners

 

I have been waiting to see a review on this and their performance, please keep us posted on everything, I might be interested in one.

 

KNOCK GAUGE WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Officially the easiest tunable 2g car EVER.

Knock counts display on your factory boost gauge.

1st needle = 7 counts
2nd needle = 14 counts
highest needle = 21 counts.

I can tell because I have some knock when the motor is cold and Im trying to hit the gas a teeny bit. So far no knock on my WOT pulls.

 

Can i get this guys email? Id be one of his first ecu+chip customers.

On the bottom of his page.

Just be aware, this is not "officially" out just yet... Still in the "beta mode"

Im sure things will be available shortly. Just a few more tests on some things.

 

Count me down for one

 

Glad to see he got it up and running. I was also a beta tester for this chip, and the first one he sent me (I dont know if I was the original out of everyone or not) was absolutely horrible, the o2 sensors didnt come online, the car was stuttering, the rev limits were removed completely, horrible. However I told jeff my findings and he realized a possible mistake he had made. I now have DSMlink but jeff i believe has sent me another chip that should probably be sitting at my house back at school, as he wanted to see if Id be willing to give the beta test another try on the new chip. I wonder if he got it down this time. If what you're saying is true, just as I told jeff, I believe the DSM world is about to get flooded with these damn things . Having something so cheap thats able to compensate for injectors, give a stutterbox, no lift to shift, and display knock is going to sell out faster than supply will allow . Another difficulty I felt with my particular setup was that I was using a GM MAF so flow readings were slighly different. From the sounds of other posts ive read on this it sounds like your knock gauge is actually reading correctly, however Id like to see what tests have been done to verify this, not doubting anything, just before people rely on it Id wanna make damn sure its working flawless ya know? Jeff was a great guy and everytime we talked he had solid responses and knew his stuff, so I personally would recommend him if this chip does in fact work the way you're saying.

 

For the knock.... Since there is no REAL way to log it... Im not sure how Ide ever be able to prove it really.

All I can say is.. by the list of mods, im not a newbie tuner And the fact that I can feel the timing pull on the partial throttle accels when the motor is cold.. I can cover the gauge and tell you when the thing is knocking.

Like an "BETA" product, I'll be outside tuning again tonight for further results on this newest chip.

Afterwards, I'll also be testing this with a MAFT setup as well. Jeff sent me 2 more chips this AM. Both for an UNHACKED mas, with a 2step and the other with a 3step. Those are my MAFT chips.

I have 7 chips rite now, and 2 more on the way. Its taken much time and thought to get where were currently at on this 2G eprom setup.

 

Hook up the 3-step. I want to know how it works.

 

Today is shot.. Tomorrow the wire goes in. I spent my couple hrs of day light adding a catback so I didnt have to open my cutout to make pulls.

 

Sounds like a nice little chip, but DSMLink does so much more. I would be very wary of spending money on this if there is any chance you might need DSMLink's features in the near future.

That said.... if you have a '95 EPROM ECU, and won't have the $615 it costs for DSMLink or the need for it anytime soon, this upgrade is a no-brainer. You cannot tune a DSM well when it has fuel cut and you don't know the knock count. It sounds like this chip takes care of those. For cheap.

 

Think of it this way, if you have a 95 eprom ecu, and have it socketed for this chip, this thing will cost next to nothing, and later down the road you can pay 615 for DSMlink and simply swap chips as they use the same socket, not really that big of a deal IMO.

I wipe my ass with a 100 dollar bill. I mean seriously my tires each cost 2x that, I dont think its that much, and for the newbie out there who is looking to gain performance quickly and reliably it might be a good alternative. It wont be as exact as a programmable system, but it should be pretty close, and he even compensates for deadtime of the injectors not just flow like a stupid Safc would.

 

Ya for the current 95 users with a nice mods list...

You simply CAN NOT beat the price vs gains.

 

I managed to get out for a couple hrs to do some pulls and do some tuning. I get more and more impressed everyday by Jeffs "magic chip"

The ability to display knock is simply the best thing thats ever come to my car. I was within a few% of good power on my own, but seeing where my knock is now, has made things MUCH more interesting. Ive managed so far to get the needle to budge up a bit during the middle RPM band of my pulls, I just need to do a little more tuning and I should be set.

Im trying to locate some V8s to race over here, I cant seem to find any just driving around

 

i found a couple last night.......

on the way home from your house i felt like i was in a honda. my car felt so slow

 

Dammit. There must be some electrical engineer guru that can HELP THE REST OF US OUT. Boy, think of the NON-95 ECU people that would jump at this stuff. 100 bucks for an ECU upgrade? You damn right I'd buy that instantly.

But noooooo... we're stuck saving for AEM PnP.

Cool product. I wonder what "Octane Reset" means....

 

On the 1G eprom thread in this section, on the last page of the thread, there is some light shed on that octance reset.



Never fear NON 95 owners.. Jeff is going to be making package deals 95 ECU AND a chip!! Price to be announced by Jeff

ps. critter loves my car :rudolph:

 

[ps. critter loves my car :rudolph: [/B]

no i just like the turbo and awd.... other than that mine is better:happy:

 

I have been talking with him lately and he was more than willing to get me a chip for my TSi. Knowledgable guy and UNBELIVABLY honest. A credit to all DSMers out there. I am most likely going to try his chip and see what it gets me I just need to study up more on his controlled fuel modifications.

As long as the pricing is posted on his website and not here then that's fine with us.

gotcha, thanx for the reminder

 

This thing sounds awesome, Glad I have a 95 EEPROM

The ecu believe it or not runs different timing maps according to the octane that you are running. I believe this chip will save the highest recorded octane value in the ecu and allow you to always run that map. This is something DSMlink does as well.
