I used to have a list of EFI canditates on my
website that I explored prior to settling in on the Wolf 3D (it appears that
Shaw has somehow screwed up my site content and some pages -- including this one
-- are currently missing). Lee is correct: a lot of aftermarket EFI does
seem to come from Oz. For instance, Autronic was founded by a guy that
used to work for MoTeC -- both of whom are also located in Oz.

Subject: CRX: Re: Programmable EFI...
Craig,
I bought an SDS system several years ago after
doing a lot of research of
programmable EFI sysyems. This was for my
SCCA E Produciton road race CRX
Si.
Price drove the selection to the
SDS but when I opened it, the cheapness
showed. The SDS looked like a
refugee from Radio Shack with a range of tiny,
loose wires that inspired
lttile to no confidence. Looked more like a
science fair project than
something I just dumped $1100 on. I selected
against the TEC II based
partly on price and partly on racers who had
reliabiltiy problems with
wiring and pickups. One guy said to plan to drop
out of at least one
race per year with wiring or sensor failure. I never
actually used
the SDS system as soon thereafter several systems like Z-dyne
and Hondata
came out allowing you to use the actual Honda wiring and
processors.
Some pretty highly regarded folks suggested that you just can't
beat real
Honda components for reliability and processing speed. I sold the
SDS
having only even been out of the box once at a large loss just to buy
the
Z-dyne system (Hondata doesn't make a system for non-VTEC cars).
I
still haven't used the Z-dyne myself but have loaned the box to a
racer
friend who is doing some dyno comparisons with a number of
systems. No
response yet though. I intend to run it soon in the
street ZC when not in
the racecar.
Anyone know why so much
programmable EFI comes from Australia? I see that
the Wolf has an .au
address, I met the Hondata guys two years ago and they
are Aussies, and
Haltech (one of the very first programmables) were from
there as
well. What's up with the land of Oz that makes them so hot in
this
area?
Lee
