Drive by wire, getting rid of another cable, Electronic pedal, not a wa wa Options

[Gunn1]

Anyone have a drive by wire set up on their 914? Looking for a cable-less solution to throttle control. Would be for a stock 75' 914 2.0liter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

This is one of those questions where if you have to ask you really shouldn't be doing it...

The difference between an arduino and PLC is the hardened electronics. The coding is trivial, but I would really not trust the reliability of an ardiuno in a life or death application.

My car is going to DBW with an aftermarket engine controller, but using oem components like BarryM used for his car wouldn't be too hard.

Never said I wanted to invent, or devise a system that would accomplish the DBW. I know a little bit about electronics and wiring, but nothing about writing code. I had thought there might already be a Kit (plug and Play) for purchase and installation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

So you are obviously against DIY megasquirt then?

Sorry, the only reason I mentioned it is I already have an arduino system in my car, and I was just wondering about using DBW as a way to syncrhonize two carbs perfectly, all the time.

In fact it is doable and I had already worked it out.

My brother was trained by Guido Simplex for installing DBW systems and hand controls for the disabled.

But sorry I mentioned it, I guess it should be left to the experts.
