Hey Guys,

Coming from the suby world, had an 04 WRX, Stage 4 w/Meth Injection, I had a ODBII usb datalogging cable, and used a program called ecuexplorer from tactrix. Just picked up an 02 AMG, and looking to do the same thing for some baselines before I mod. Looking for a cheap cable that does "the works" and what the best program is to use for the c32. I know the suby program was specific, so I'm sure its the same for the c32. I'd love to hear about any different types of programs if they exist.

Also looking into a dvd unit that can display gauges based on odbii info. I've never been down this route before, but if I can get that displayed on a dvd headunit, that would be awesome as well.

Appreciate any info, or anything for me to run on and google up. Thanks guys.

Tom

Have you had a chance to look at any data yet? OBDII logging is very informative.

If you have not already installed TopGun32’s pulleys, would you kindly share applicable before & after figures with us?

I would be most appreciative.

I have not installed the pulleys yet. I got the late UPS delivery. Just trying to find the damn power cord for my laptop lol. I will be sure to post all of my findings for sure I have many goodies going on the car soon I have been waiting for this setup so I could do some good before and after testing.

I just brought the proscan ISO obd2 scan tool with logging software for $79...... which was very cheap compared to the universal OBD2 scanners.

I plan to do the following tests and post the results.... if anyone thinks I should be logging any other data, or doing other tests ......please comment

Thats good to hear. It took me a while to decide who I wanted to go with. I found the laptop power cable I will be installing the software at work so I can start testing tonight. Very excited.

Do you guys that datalog still do Dynos?

It doesn't look like there is a display that comes with the scan tool. What are you planning on using to see the information? I'm interested in MSD's Dashhawk since it can display the info.

Code3 Performance

It plugs into a laptop or pda.

The dashhawk is cool. I had the Scangauge 2. Same idea. But neither of those offer the kind of features I was looking for. Plus, I dont want something plugged in all the time. I bought the package for specific testing, not for day to day monitoring.
