Hello,
I wanted to document my SDS install as I am doing a few custom steps I haven't seen anyone post yet. I ordered the EFI system with the 02 System (which requires welding in the bung and sensor, more on that later). I already have the Crane Xr700 and the Crane Coil, so my ignition is solid and works well and decided to skip the ignition and crankfire for now. My first goal was to fit the SDS ECU into the existing 914 DJet ECU as I had a couple extra boxes. I am pleased with the results, although I have to mount the O2 sensor and tach boost box, so far I am not sure how I want those items to no be conspicuous in the engine bay. I will post more as I get the install further along, but here are the pics of the box install and fitment...

Be careful when sealing the SDS in a container.. I have had issues with that in the past as the ECU ran at a temperature that was elevated. I've always surface mounted the ECUs since that occurrence with no issues.

I like the idea of the stealth install, but was not sure about the airflow issues that may have occurred. |
