I am looking at on bring a totally programable FI system on to the market.
The system is a Type 4 specific setup that is both fuel and spark tunable.
It will work with a stock 1.7 or a big bore 2771cc.
The price will be about $1K.
I am seeing if this is of interest to you guys.

Dang, I'm in the process of buying some Dell DRLA 45s. The FI setup sounds good though...especially remembering your tests with the kitcarlson stuff a few months back.
(EDIT: I was thinking this was Jake for a second)
BTW will this be a kitcarlson setup or something else?

If it can be done and had for a grand or even close to it--I believe it would pan out well--I am waiting myself for a decent, reliable, inexpensive system to come out so as I can replace my duals---I would have went with a stockish one but there is just so much clutter with that system--very difficult to make it clean and presentable and get good power numbers from.....

I don't think you'll find any problem with the FI owners on a 1K system that works (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

What would be included with the kit? The "hard parts" (throttle, manifolding, fuel distribution system, injectors, wiring) can get really really expensive in a huge hurry.

what does it measure to determine fuel metering? Manifold pressure? intake flow? O2 out?

Without going into detail it is a state of the art system.
It will control Fuel Mixture
Spark timing advance curve ie it will retard the timing at the upper RPM or if you turbo when the boost comes on.
Like I said Fully programable.

Sounds pretty sweet! I'd be interested. If you could keep the price down and have it fully programable, I think it would fly. I'm also curious as to how you would monitor the mixture. I'm assuming you would need a lap top to do the tuning?

What ever happened to the Kit Carlson stuff? I haven't seen him post here in a while. Last I heard Jake was still playing with it. Is it ready? Any pricing for it?

I'm skeptical about the price and promises. Show me and I may buy. get one of the old 914 club guys to put on his car test / tune and on a dyno and I WILL buy.

Not to put you on the spot, but a LOT more detail would be required, esp. for this crowd, which is better educated on EFI than most. $1K is a decent price, but it's not earth shattering.

You say "intake runners, throttle body, dizzy, etc", you're including ALL of that? Can we get the ECU only for less if we supply our own intake runners, throttle body, and dizzy?

Does it do data logging? Does it use an airflow meter?
