Programmable ECMs

[Frederic Breitwieser]

Not sure why this is bouncing, I've only been on this list for a year :)

>>I heard of some people talking about buying programmable brains, and
>>individually buying parts like air flow boxes and other vital FI parts.  
>>Where cann these parts be found, what companies, and would this 
>>be a good way to make a FI system, one that is simple for a race car 
>>so it doesn't have to meet emmisions only go fast.

>Here are two such places that make excellent ECM products.

>Depending on your vehicle, you should also find information on the web
>about Accel's DFI, Holley's Projection, and I'm sure I've only scratched
>the surface.  I have a bit of experience with the Haltech as well as the
>Electromotive, from an installation point of view - my "bud" who works on
>my race car definately does all the tweeking.  The Haltech is a bit more
>user friendly, but without a doubt the Electromotive is more flexible, at
>least the two units I have/had, and I'm not comparing apples with apples
>here - the Electromotive unit was the TECII, and at the time, was more
>expensive than the Haltech unit (forgot the model number).  We bought them
>because tuning is done through a notebook PC, something we computer geeks
>seem to have a bunch of.
>
>Anyway, as far as sourcing mechanical parts - anyplace from the above to
>vendors, junkyards, GM/Ford parts dealers, and many other vendors you'll
>find in HotRod Magazine, Turbo and Hi-Tech Performance, just to name a few.
>
>While its certainly not a requirement to purchase everything from the same
>vendor, you'll find it somewhat easier to get decent support that way -
>you've invested with them, they'll invest in you.
>
>Also consider this book : FUEL INJECTION, Installation, Performance TUning,
>Modifications. by Jeff Hartman, ISBN 0-87938-743-2
>
>Search Yahoo for : "Emtech" also, they make a very, very powerful DIY ECM
>system, I just couldn't find their numbers or address for ya.  HOpefully
>the web will show something for you.
