Programmable electronic fuel injection (PEFI)
Is anyone interested in a SDS PEFI GROUP BUY? Base system list is $785 or $1165 for the full meal deal (crank trigger ignition) for the 4-cylinder version.(full list price, not counting discount) Discount is 10% off for 2 systems and up to 25% off for 10 systems. So that could = the base 4 cylinder system for approximately $600* or about the price of a new MPS. *(Based on the basic system, no options with 10 people in the buy for a 25% discount, no shipping.) This is for the brain only, many options, you must check out their site and decide what you want/need. Will work on the stock engine and intake system to get you going. Then you can go hipo crazy (cam, TB’s, stroker, etc.) if you want. (I think with a few options $800. to $1000.+ is maybe a more realistic cost per system.) http://www.sdsefi.com/ The points I like about it are: you don’t need a laptop (which is good for me as I’m totally ‘puter stupid), the controller stays in the car, they will build it with a real CHT sender, they custom tailor the harness, the base system isn’t too expensive, info BBS, they have aircooled experience and the guy uses it on his own plane. A couple of bugs and a couple of 911’s are running this system, one 914 in progress. Check it out, sounds good to me, but if you’ve heard anything bad about them let me know. The only real negatives that I have heard so far is; the CPU isn’t waterproof and the 914 guy said that he was having trouble (stock fan) mounting the crank trigger. 6 cylinder version base price $ 815, full meal deal $1320. (full list price, not counting discount) 8 cylinder and Mazda 2 rotor systems also available. If anyone is interested shoot me an email. I’m thinking about buying at the end of April/May. mhenry69@sympatico.ca |

We have 8 people on the list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
I moved it over to the STF site because there was more interest there. The buy happens at the end of the month if we have enough guys still in. SDS says that this system is not as clean emissions wise as a factory FI system, that said, I don't think they are talking about a 30-year-old car. It has to be cleaner than carbs. I wish we could get some back to back tests, oh well. You could cheat, set it up closed loop and play with the program for the test. You could always add a catalytic converter and hiding the aftermarket case in the factory case could be also done if they do a visual. I think that you will see more and more guys switch to some brand of aftermarket FI like the SDS as the stock systems get older. |
