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 |

Mount the ECU in a rubbermaid food storage box (I've seen this done). It does pose an interesting question of where the best place to mount an ECU in a 914 might be. I'm not in agreement that under the battery tray is the best place. Nor is under the passenger's seat because of how our cars leak. I might put mine behind the passenger's seat on the firewall.
Mark, I don't think you can go too wrong with any of the systems you are looking at, but I think having the car down for only 2 weekends and tuning it before turn 1 on the race track are a bit off the reality scale. If you call adjusting the overall timing value as "tuning" then just cut a hole in your firewall, reach back there with a nomex glove and adjust your dizzy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Mueller, what's the status of the Palm Pilot software some folks were writing for the MegaSquirt? If it's useable this would be an excellent (and still the cheapest) non-PC PEFI setup out there. |
