Running ostrich in the colt. Enhanced fuel maps/timing maps, octane reset, stutterbox, NLTS, on the fly adjustments to everything.

Some of these settings changed today, 680's went in.

Thats awsome I have never heard of this brand of standalone befor.

Tyler,

Damn dude. You had me nervous. I saw the title and thought you were coming out of the closet or something.

It is not a standalone, it's an emulator like DSMLink that allows you to change values in the stock ECU on the fly.

The features vary between ostrich and link. Link is pretty much set in stone but if someone finds out the variables in the ecu code (like the isc control for idle that I think link has but they won't give out info on it), it can be integrated into ostrich very easily just by modding the xdf file (the map to where things are in the .bin). That and if you already have an eprom, it's only $175!

i had NO IDEA we can run osterich in from our ecu's i have only ever heard of it on hondas...wow i need to get out more! thanks man this opens up a new WORLD of stuff for me.

It can be used with any 24/28/32 pin chipped ecu.

Is Ostrich user friendly? I here DSMLink v3 is. Any experiences/thought?

If you've already got DSMlink I'd stick with it. If you've got tuning experience you'd have no problem using ostrich though.

Link uses sliders, ostrich uses actual numbers. It really comes down to whether or not you want to spend an hour to learn to use tunerpro or if you want to spend the extra $425 to be able to use sliders.

I'm using an altered bin I found digging through the net slightly modified to work with my combo. Once you set the basic things, all you have to change really is the fuel table after watching your wideband, leaning/richening at whichever rpm while watching for knock. It's a lot easier than it looks honestly. Here's a before+after of a fuel table of the stock bin (right) and the bin I'm using (left).

Can you do a write up on an install/give me a shopping list?

Eprom $?
Ostrich emulator $175 (http://www.moates.net/product_info.php? ... cts_id=169)
Laptop with usb port $?
Tunerpro R/T $free
Bins from internet $free

I'll do a writeup soon, there really are no dsm specific writeups on the net about it other than a few uncompleted ones on their forums.

Swweeeet!

I'd add wideband to that shopping list too.

Thats a nice find man.. They have tuning options for my Escape even.. And a heck of a lot cheaper that the SCT tuner.
