Need Data Logger ASAP!!

Hey, I'm looking for a data logger to see what in the hells goin on with my car. I've tried all the links for tari/openecu/ecuexplorer but all of them were down. I was hoping that someone on the boards had the software for a data logging program that they could send me.

to use ecuexplorer you'll need a data cable. if you have a laptop that has a serial port you can use the accessport cable. all you do is d/l the software, connect your laptop to your car, run the software program. you'll be able to log parameters off you ecu to see how your car is doing.

Data logging was easy, just got done with a few 3rd gear pulls. Now I just need someone to translate a few parameters for me =P.

I'll be happy to analyze your logs if you want to e-mail them to ed@eqtuning.com. If you did the 3rd gear pulls on a flat road, include your tire size, car year/model, and passenger/luggage weight and I can plot whp/wtq for you as well.

Thanks

F and M should only be referring to whether its a male or female serial connection. I think most computers that have serial ports have female ones (holes instead of prongs) so you'll need to get the opposite of what your computer has.
