Jake thanks for the update, I know you want to keep your ideas but I have two son's with engineering degrees. elect and mech. I don't plan on selling your ideas but I would think a motorcycle type cable setup could be adapted easily, but really haven't got the time either. I could also use one or two of these on my simple stuff. You know you could post the desirable attributes and the good and bad and other eyes might come up with easy mods to your design to improve production and operation and installation.

My arrangement is very similar to a motorcycle arrangement, but the engine has a few more challenges.
Its not as easy as one thinks. It doesn't take an Engineering degree to do it, just common sense, experience with the most common issues and practical application testing.

What I have works great on paper.

I don't mean to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) on this as I know there's been a lot of poo-slinging about cable linkage systems, but...

I keep seeing this banner ad for Aircooledtechnology:

And yet, when I click the ad to Raby's site, I can find nothing about it.

What's the deal? Is it on the market? Is it coming to market? For 914 application?

250 units are being produced right now. We do not have them in our store as of yet.

We have perfected a 914 specific arrangement along with Pete. You will like it, it will be cost effective.

The ad is more of a reflection of the equipment on our turnkey engines, where we have been using the system exclusively for the last 8 months or so. I just finished my 2.8 liter in the double cab and it uses the system with IR EFI and it works awesome!

When it hits the store, you'll know it.. I have a full page color ad already designed for Excellence and it has been submitted!

Interesting that it wasn't mentioned dec 2nd on your last post. Sync-link must have been pretty close.

Sync Link works better than my arrangement in Pete's final version..
Pete attended the RAT Reunion this weekend and we got on the same page with our battleplans. He is a super nice guy and I am very happy to be working with him.

A 914 specific system was more difficult to do with my design than Pete's.. His only challenge was not having a 914 to fit the system to.. Blake and I took care of that and made the necessary changes, now the 914 system uses one longer cable and integrates into the stock pedal assembly with ease. It eliminates the use of the OEM cable in it's entirety, I prefer omitting OEM parts whenever possible.

Systems with a complete step by step install DVD are just around the corner.

Keep cracking on this. I, for one, am really interested.

I haven't had time to post them... I am working very hard on a huge project that will save the lives of Boxster and 996 engines and trying to get it to market..
Will try to put some time into getting some high quality pics this week.

Finally the time has come...
After 3 sets of samples and revisions from the factory we have produced a perfect mass produced version of Pete's Sync-Link throttle actuation system.

In the past month we have taken the initiative to meet the desires of the 914 following by finishing an application specific sync-link variant that Pete started a while back, but wanted us to finish. The system replaces the entire stick arrangement all the way to the throttle pedal using the same high quality, low friction cable and sheathing.
Sync-link pre-sales begin Monday July 18 at The Type 4 Store... Probably in late afternoon..
Thanks for the patience, when Pete and I teamed up things went much faster and smoother with final development and production.
Pics of the system installed into a 914 tomorrow.. :-)

Lets hope the others that wanted one are in the same boat.. I hope this experience doesn't remind me of previous developments, where when the wallet had to open people changed this minds.
