I've got one. It's sweet.
I've managed to get a bit more pull in the midrange by tweaking the fuel maps. Nothing extensive until i get a wideband.

The install is a breeze, just plug it in and it's done. It makes setting the idle speed and mixture easier too. (It's done thru software, there's a little 3 page wizard for it.)

The guys over at DigitalTuning are pretty responsive with support too.

Word of wisdom: Don't use a Palm TX - the serial ports on them SUCK and they have all kinds of connection issues.

Just pick up a cheap palm m1xx or m5xx off ebay or something.

one question, how did you install it yourself? the site dosnt give an option to buy the chip itself.

i think he meant setting it up, not installing it. i could be wrong but i think you have to send your ecu to them and they send it back with a chip in it. you just plug your ecu back up and go from there setting and tweaking as you like.

The stage 2 is not just a flashed chip. It's a daughter board and actual software.

I remember a thread where someone tweaked the fuel maps and was able to gain alot up top.



Edit: Nevermind, its the sticky up top. It was an S5. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=top
