I just had a very positive experience with Lindsey's. Got my order fast and they were very helpful and took their time with me when I called them. Zims is great too!

Mike: is that the stock batwing on your car or a newer chin spoiler?

Chris:

Cost of the Tec3?

Chris White

Well, its not cheap but it might save you over the long run as it can adapt to anything.
If you like having control it is the way to go…if you don’t want to know anything about engine management and you just want a plug and play solution that will work call John!

That being said –
The Tec3 kit includes the following –
Tec3r ECU
Coil Pack
Custom Laser cut trigger wheel for 951
Billet Trigger sensor mounting bracket
TPS adapter
Knock sensor adapter
Custom Wiring Harness (this takes about 6-8 hours to make!)
New Sensors – Trigger, TPS, MAP, MAT, Knock
Start up file
All the support you need (this is a big plus!)

Price - $3500.

There are many small options that can be added – shift light out put, A/C sensing, Fan switching, Water injection control….just about anything you can think of. These are included at the cost of parts and wiring (generally pretty cheap).

AIR splitter.

That's an understatement Chris has had to deal with countless phone calls and schedule changes on my part. I couldnt ask for better customer service.

Chris:

How reliable is this setup for the 951? Would you happen to know what's the most mileage someone has put on a 951 with this EMS? Is it ok for daily driven 951s?

Regarding the A/C sensing, would the TEC3 be able to bring the RPMs up to a preset figure when the A/C is on, like in newer cars?

Thanks.

Mike, nice write-up on your experiences with each vendor you have dealt with. Also two big for Chris White. He has helped me via email and on the phone with my TEC2 and it came with the car so I did not even buy the thing from him! BTW Chris car is running good thanks to your support, knowledge, and my Innovate wideband 02. If and when I am in the market for a new EMS I will be calling Chris.

Take care all!

There are several out there with over 20K miles. The tec3 should be more reliable than the stock equipment. As with any electrical component you can fry it if you don’t get it wired correctly. I have only had one issue with the ECU not working correctly and this was caused by a spark plug that was shorting internally (very weird).

The Tec3 was designed around the daily driven concept. It has many tuning features for temp dependant starting conditions, with tuning adjustments from -40c to 150c

Yep, you can program how many RPMs you want to bump up the idle setting. You can even program the tec3 to turn off the A/C compressor once you pass a predetermined boost level so you can have those last couple of HPs…

I moved these to the first post.

Be sure to give an honest opinion of myself and my products - you should be getting your studs by the end of the week - they shipped Monday IIRC.

Definitely

For those of us who are new to the 951 community and Porsches as a whole (ehem...me), I say thank you for re-bumping this thread. As money is beginning to re-accumulate after the initial purchase of my '86, I'm doing research on companies to avoid, and, more importantly, get into contact with.

I most likely would have missed this thread completely.

On a side note, I noticed your signature picture changes every time the page refreshes. How'd you do that?!

MPD47

No problem, I'd rather people stayed informed

The sig is running off my server where it's running off a script.

Mike is definately becoming one of the 'old' timers here on Rennlist who has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with the community. I think this is a great thread for everyone, whether you are a newbie or not.

Great thread!
I'm signed up, if not to hear more about the various vendors we trade with.
