<font face="Comic Sans MS">I have the Electromotive TEC 2 in my
Pantera which has been extremely dependable and satisfactory for
my needs.<br>
<br>
However, it is 20+ year old technology and will not last forever.
I am planning to upgrade it to a newer unit before it fails.
Initially I was going to stay with Electromotive and go with the
TEC3r ECU that Kirby mentioned.<br>
<br>
However, I have changed my mind when a friend of mine put me on to
the </font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font face="Comic Sans MS">MS3-Pro
that </font></font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font face="Comic
Sans MS">DIY Autotune offers that uses</font> the MegaSquirt ECU
that is ready to go. <br>
<br>
Also, if you are into assembling your own ECU like my friend, Dave
Walgrave, MegaSquirt offers circuit boards for the do it
yourselfer that likes to build from the ground up. Dave built the
ECU for both of his LeMons cars using the MegaSquirt components. <br>
<br>
Both the MegaSquirt and DIY Autotune site offer extensive
explanations and how to guides on the ins and outs of engine management
systems. <br>
<br>
I am planning to make a "bridge cable" that will enable me to use
all my existing connectors and sensors. As with any upgrade, I
will have to buy new coil packs, since with the TEC2 they are an
integral part of the ECU and cannot be used.<br>
<br>
I would recommend that anyone contemplating an engine management
system look into the DIY Autotune unit as one of your options.
The ECU management software is free can be downloaded and reviewed
from either the DIY Autotune or MegaSquirt web site. All the
necessary components and instructions for a complete engine
management system installation and operation are available at
their web sites:<br>

<br>
While not the governing factor (although it does make the choice
that much sweeter) the MS3-Pro is available for under $1,200. The
TEC3r is over $2,400.<br>

Will is correct.
<div>Yes, Kelly made the manifolds for awhile. What I know is that
MD has one, I have one and Kelly has one.
<div>He doesn’t make them anymore and says he won’t because it’s
too much hassle.</div>
<div>If he’s changed his mind, I’m not aware of it.</div>

</div>
<div>Kelly, MD and my GT40 EFI’s have a TWM throttle body setup,
linkage and fuel rails. </div>
<div>To be clear, the linkage is from TWM.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Kelly
Coffield's system wasn't a system. He just made the
manifold. I don't think he provided anything else
to anyone.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The
last I heard was that he would never do it again –
too much work. But maybe he would reconsider. Dan
should know. He seems to know everything else. ;-)</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I have
Webers on my car, and they really tamed down the
idle – less rumble and quieter. Low RPM torque is
much better. I miss the rough idle, though.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The
change was from IR, so you should have the same with
IR EFI.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Expect
a lot of work to get the EFI portion working
correctly. Or, you can pay an expert and get it
working right sooner.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I think
Mike Trusty was the source for the cool EFI linkage.
Instead of using bell cranks, it has a pulley in
the center of the intake. I don't know if it is his
design, or if he got it from someone else – but it
looks like it works very smoothly.</div>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;

<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I am
considering the installation of an IR EFI
on my Pantera motor. I am designing the
motor right now and am considering the
various options. I would love to hear
from those that are running one of these
systems. One of the systems I am
considering is Kelly Coffields system so I
am particularly interested in any
experience with his product. I know Mad
Dog is not on this list so if anyone has
his email I would love to get his opinion
as well. I am working with Dan Jones on
the motor design right now.</div>
