If you had the following problem....What would you do?

Let's say you had a 24 pin DME from an '87 911 and you wanted to use and already had in your possession a 28 pin chip.

Would you:

A) Purchase a 24 pin chip?

B) Send in the DME and have a 28 pin socket installed?

C) Other ideas?

(I'm a big boy, let's hear the ideas.)


...and while we are at it what is the cost of the DME upgrade?

 

Keep the stock, o.e. chip and buy stickier tires...

 

I would call Steve Wong at 911 Chips and ask him what to do.

 

Sometimes ya just gotta Google "Peter Zimmermann".

 

?

I was going to suggest that we could go to Radio Shack, buy a bunch of wires and solder and stuff. And then set the whole mess on fire as a sacrifice to the fabled Porsche god of DME engineering. But calling Steve Wong might be quicker.

And if that is Peter Zimmermann, then I guess I'll google him more often too.

 

Hey, what ever happened to Russel Barry and his multiboard setup? Did that thread just die? Seemed like a promising product. How about picking up a good used 28 pin DME so then you have the hi-perf setup and keep the stock 24 pin chip and DME as a backup? You could then just swap DME's at smog time without having to open the box and disturb the chip every two years.

 

Doug,

IMHO, option B is the best one as that gives you access to a lot more maps in your software.

Finding someone to do that for you might be the challenge, depending on whose software you have. I know Steve W. does that for a small fee but I think thats only for his products.

Can't hurt to ask around, tho,...

 

Well then, that about covers all the logical options. I'm glad we kept it civil.

If this was a chip thread I'd tell TTO that Russell is doing fine last I talked to him. IB has refused to tell him or I why he has been banned. I'm guessing Roger Penske would like to sell you the Penske chip.

 

Which will soon be found as standard equipment in all new Penske-Saturns!

 

Just when I thought we had rounded the corner I find myself not only out smarted in both senses of the word, but left in a condition many of you like to see me....speechless. I'll have my day Mr. Z.

 

So, Doug, what you're saying is it's more like Penske-Uranus?

 

Richard Branson and Roger Penske are said to be teaming up with a new venture simply known as the Virgin Uranus Space Probe. It will be billed as "Going Where No Man Should Go"

Sorry, day job is calling...

 

get a set of webers

 

I hope Uranus doesn't get Pensked. I hope mine doesn't either for that matter. How far should I be sitting from my monitor?

 

If Branson & Penske do something together, does that mean that the Brawn F1 team will become the Brawn/Branson/Penske/Virgin/Uranus Formula 1 team?
