I would like to know this as well. I have an '89 DME I am trying to sell and have had people ask if it will work for their late 2.5l engines and I have not been able to give them a confident answer.

Anything 85.5 and up for the 944NA (not the 16-valve stuff) will work. The 88 and up should be 28pin, IIRC. But really, anything from 85.5 can be made to work.

This is not a MAF, much better, this is speed density

I can't wait. Neither can my brother and 2 friends that will all grab this setup for our 944's.

Any progress?

I know Rogue-Ant has been driving around town in his NA with the SD tune in place..so there is progress.

I *think* he is also looking for someone at sea-level to help test areas of the maps he cannot get to in Denver.

I may be interested for my 87 924S...I live at about 4000ft, but travel to the coast often. Will this system compensate?

In South East FL, Palm Beach on the coast. If he wants testing on a stock, daily driven 86na I can help. Plus high-temp testing here might help find possible issues.

fuel formulation is different from region to region across the US, I know this can be an issue with chip tuners.

Yep, I've been driving my NA on the new SD-Tune setup for a little while now - it drives awesome! The low-end power/torque is a significant change.

Lately, I've been working on a completely new idle-code for the 944Turbo MAF setup, which has taken most of my time, but I am nearly done with it, and will be getting back to finishing up the SD-Tune...

The system will automatically compensate for altitude changes! Because we are measuring pressure, the SD-Tune understands if you are at sea-level or on top of Pikes-Peak, no problem.

That said, I do need a sea-level tester. Minimum requirements I need in a tester:
944NA or 924S w/ stock engine including stock 8-valve head. (stock rebuilds are ok)
85.5+ DME
WBO2 (preferably with logging capability, so I can review the log).
Live at, or very near sea-level.
Some tuning knowledge would be appreciated.
Patience.

Please contact me if this interest you.

I have an 84 944 with an 86 motor and 86 chipped DME in Canada, meaning I put my car away yesterday because snow is coming soon.

Great to hear there is progress, I can't wait till it's done.
