If you are sending in your ECU for socketing service, PLEASE, stick a piece of painters tape to the ecu and write your name, phone number and address directly ON IT!

V3Lite is a version of the popular V3 tuning and logging tool with a slightly more basic feature set. You can still dial in your injectors, adjust fuel and timing tables, set your launch limit, run no-lift-to-shift, dial in your throttle position sensor, run anti-lag off the line or between shifts, and even run full time speed density plus a lot more!
So it's still packed with features, including our greatly enhanced logging system. It's just lacking some of the "extra" features of the full package (like customized output controls, 10,000 RPM limits, GM MAF integration, etc.).
You can get a more complete "picture" of what V3Lite includes off the V3Lite Screenshots page. You can get a feature comparison table on our product comparison page.
EVO1-3 ECU MOD: Please note that in addition to the typical socket work every EPROM ECU needs in order to use aftermarket code, the early EVO1-3 ECUs require an additional jumper mod.
SPEED DENSITY NOTE: If you plan to run speed density instead of a mass airflow sensor, you'll need to select "Stock MAF" below as your MAF Type and then simply configure the ECU yourself when you get it installed in your car. Instructions on configuring speed density can be found on our SD Setup page. To keep the order form from getting any more complicated, we have chosen to leave speed density off the list because that selection requires even more information (which MAP sensor you have installed and on which ECU input, which varies depending on ECU, etc.).
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Windows:
Our recommended configuration would be Windows XP with 256 meg of RAM. You're certainly not going to have any problems with that setup or anything better. ECMLink works fine with Vista and Windows 2000 as well. And, of course, more memory is always better. But the basic XP w/ 256meg of RAM would work very well for you.
However, that said, ECMLink does still run under Windows 98. It requires that you use a slightly older Java VM (the installer takes care of this for you) and you have to install the device drivers a little differently (there's a video on the CD that shows you how). But it does work fine. We'd recommend at *least* 64 meg of RAM, though. And more will definitely be better. A quick hit on E-bay shows several recent sales of Windows 98SE laptops with 256 meg of RAM and PIII 850mhz process for well under $100. Those laptops, assuming they're in good condition of course, would run ECMLink just fine.
Mac OS X / Linux:
Unfortunately, we just don't have enough experience using ECMLink with these systems to really recommend a specific configuration. We do know, however, that you'll need at least Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or Linux kernel v2.4.20. You can actually use an older Linux if you want, but you'll be required to manually build and install the device driver from source. Mac OS X 10.4 is required because that's there version Apple introduced the ability to specify a custom baud rate (required to talk to the ECU).
