TEC

[Fred Miranda]

An altenative to Motec is Autronic, also from Australia. I have one in my Elan.
Can be had for $1100-1200US. Software around $50 I think.
8 inj drivers with individual trims (sequential)
control for up to 4 coils (you supply drivers)
very good acceleration enrichment control
air temp correction that seems to work (in the TEC it causes problems due to
heat soak)
the list goes on

This unit could also be hidden, in fact, replacing a stock sequential box
that uses
Bosch type sensors could be done using most of the stock harness.

Yes, esp when abused.
