Mueller is right in his descriptions. I added a similar list, with links to the first post. I think I also clarified the ordering process. To reiterate, order your distributor now with the code '914world' and those orders will be queued/held and will all ship together sometime in Mid-November.
I STRONGLY recommend the bluetooth unit (#4 in the first post) for ALL ENGINES, except D-Jet. It costs a little more, but if you can afford it, make the jump and get bluetooth. D-Jet users only have one choice. Another note about the bluetooth distributor, once the curve is set into the unit, you never need to connect to the device again. The unit will run autonomously for normal driving. The phone/bluetooth connection is only used when you need the change the tune. For most people this will be set it once, then forget about it and it's just a 'normal' distributor. |

Hello Guys I talked to Rob and starting Monday October 23rd, and for three weeks you can use the coupon code 914world It will expire November 10 and be good for 10% off retail on any product I offer. When the amount of orders reaches 10 then the discount becomes 15% off retail. When that happens the additional 5% will be refunded to the cc of the first ten orders. Orders will be filled 7-10 after the close of the 3 week period. Hope this helps Ed he said starts Monday the 23rd I believe.... |

I bought one of these for my BMW2002 when the 2002 forum did a group buy last year. I've yet to run into someone on the 2002 forums that regrets putting one of these in.
Seriously folks. Get one. If I was not running McMarks EFI on my 914, I'd be buying one of these for my 914 too. IMO, you want the bluetooth tune-able version. Its not much more money, and gives you the advantages of a tune-able spark curve. Zach |

He wanted to make sure there was interest in the first five which there looks like there is. I.m running bone stoxk D-jet so I know my choice. |

FYI page 1 Specifications
Temperature : -30 to 95 degrees Celsius I haven't confirmed if this is ambiant temp or operating. I bought it 3 weeks and I'm having issues with heat. I started a thread but haven't updated it. We have had hot weather 95 and up . With temps in the 70's she runs great but above 85 she starts pinging on hard acceleration. Been a Dr. Jeckell Mr. Hyde experience, latest test 100 octane fuel. |

Been a Dr. Jeckell Mr. Hyde experience, latest test 100 octane fuel. I remember your thread. Did you ever call them and ask them about it? These dizzys are running in engines all over the place, in climates just like yours (and warmer) without issue. Yours may have an issue (defective out of the box - it does happen), or it needs to be re-tuned. You should not need 100 octane fuel and should not be pinging under what would be considered normal operating conditions. My experience with the 123 people (and others in the BMW community) is that the customer support is pretty darned good. IMO, they could not sell these things if the upper range of operation was only 95 degrees. On a moderate day, its often over 110 under the hood of a normal car. Zach |

Zach I hope Zach is right because around here in the summer its going to be on average in the middle to upper 90's - of course I don't drive the car much on those days , unless I get the A/C thing figured out bynext year. Keep us posted on your experience with this mgphoto please! |

I'm not at the debug with the manufacture yet, I'm trying to rule out all my mistakes first.
I'm just saying 95*C? European website states 100* |

I'm not at the debug with the manufacture yet, I'm trying to rule out all my mistakes first. I'm just saying 95*C? European website states 100* 100*C is 212*F (I think. Shoot now I'm doubting my metric. I think 100*C is the point where water boils....) I checked, I'm good. So if your unit is rated to 100*C ambient, that equates to 212*F ambient. I don't care where you live, if the ambient temps can boil water, you have concerns larger then driving around. ;-) You should be well within spec. I'd still call 123 and talk to someone, or start the email conversation. As the guy who puts off doing these things (just ask McMark), I can tell you it gets easier when you just suck it up and admit when you need a bit of help. I'm STILL learning that lesson. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) I've wasted about 3 years on my build due to being stubborn. Zach |
