how to datalog my car
the search tab doesent seem to address this clearly (or im a dumbass) I need to datalog my 86 TPI car.i need advice as to how exactly I do this. I have heard that tunerpro is better than winaldl. so I will be using that. question 1. where can I buy a ready made cable?? question 2 my sony laptop uses windows vista, will it work? question 3. obviously, I know nothing about what im about to attempt.any guidance or helpful hints will be more than appreciated.i have a bone stock car with no mods at all.and I will be replacing the cars ECM (reman from cardone) and memcal (from brian ) before I attempt this. what can go wrong? is there a chance of frying anything? tuners with experience ,do chime in please::

Re: how to datalog my car
i am currently working on installing a nexus 7 into my dash, and instead of a cable im gonna use this http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-Bluet...-/320864288463 its cheaper than those cables...and seems more user friendly for more applications. i know maybe 1 days worth of research than you so thats the only use information i can give now....but its not a 50.00 cable that only connects to usb ports you know

Re: how to datalog my car
2.Should do .Have had TP running on 98 and XP
Also consider more user friendly Datamaster TTS.( Gives 20 free logs before you have to buy )
3.Will require help in setting the software up but once that is done , just a matter of recording a datalog and playing it back.
What you do with the info you get is a different matter
