i am currently building a 7mgte iwas curious if anyone knows where to get a good affordable
engine/fuel computer

cheap- megasquirt
pricey but works- aem

greddy emanage?

that has some dang good reviews :)
or just an apexi safc but emanage has better tuning capabilities while retaining the stock ecu for most of the electrics

Diagnostics port??
 

Is there anyway of connecting laptop to car for diagnostics, if so where is the port?

you cant jus connect a computer to a car
unless you jus trying to diagnose codes

my best bet , will be to use the apex safc2 or neo
not the best fuel computer, but cheapest worthwhile ones that you can get
i have seen 10sec. 1st gen talons only using afc

or jus go aem,this is what most shops are familiar with
greddy,hks,haltech makes good standalones too, but look around the shops in your area, and find out which program they are more familiar of.
since it will be a waste of time buying a standalone and nobody to tune it

wow frankenstein thread...

Nissans have a plug next to the incar fuse box, just have to buy the interface cable and computer software to see over 40 different guages on one screen. eg. shows boost,afm,watertemp,oiltemp,oilpressure,etc..

im pretty sure you need to buy the program too,
what i was trying to say is
yes you can buy the program and the cable,
but wouldnt really be able to do any tuning with the car
nothing compared to piggyback units, and/or standalone computers
