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 |

Mueller is right. PEFI is great. I am very glad I did mine. BUT... None of the systems are a simple "plug and play". None of them.
Things you are going to have to deal with: 1) you are going to have to build a wiring harness. NOBODY provides a plug and play harness. 2) you are going to have to figure out a way to provide a crank possition signal. 3) you are going to have to build an ignition system 4) you are going to have to troubleshoot for hours to find the ONE little thing you did wrong. 5) you are going to have to tune the system and you ARE NOT going to be able to do it while going around a track by yourself. I'll finish off by summing it all up in two statements. 1) The reality is that it will be many times more difficult than you think. 2) The end result is worth it. -Ben ps - I would never trade my tuning screen for a one-line LCD controller. One of the primary benefits of the laptop tunable systesm is all the information you can see live on-screen. It makes it much easier to understand what is happening and why. (That's not a criticism of the SDS which i think is a great system. Just personal preference) |
