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 |

I looked at the SDS system, but me being me (cheap and I tend to break things) I couldn't justify the cost....(and then the repair)
Mark, It seems to me that you have a computer......can you get it close enough to the garage to run a 10ft or so cable? If so, then no need to have a laptop...yep it's that darn Megasquirt again....almost as annoying as this guy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) FYI, the Megasquirt is coming out with a DIY package that will allow one to modify the ECU while driving or pretty much wherever without the need for a Laptop or a PC. To me, it looks like a version similar to the pendant that the SDS uses. Post your find on shoptalkforums as well as a few of the 911 boards...get the word out on the group buy so that you can take advantage of it....good luck and keep us informed |
