I am more interested in uncovering the technical outcomes of the IA EFI conversions with respect to other tuners. Hearing feedback from others is great but with more details on the actual EFI parts used, dyno's, a/f ratios, intake and intercooler choices etc.....The custom IA intake and fuel rails from another post seems too restrictive for high horsepower applications..

The most I have made with the kit is what is posted Marc. Have I made more...LOL, hell yes but that is not what the kit is for. The kit is designed to be a bolt on for the 3.3 intake. If we need to make more that intake and setup is the first to go. I then design it based on the need of the customer. Your question was whether or not there have been successful kits in the market by me. I posted the sheets and pictures per your request. AFRs are also on one of the charts. You can see that I like a low 12 back end and at cruise look for as close to 14 as possible. Both Chet and Scott recorded significant fuel economy increase after the conversion. Scott used two less tank full’s back to Chicago and Chet claims 30+MPG. (I would show Chet the thread but he is in the hospital with Valley fever and is currently not been conscious for 8 days. Say a prayer for him!)
As far as to what exactly I am using in the kit, no offense but I am not going to sit here and run down every part number of every sensor and every part I am using. I am making and or using parts that make it a bolt and go application. That is difficult on many levels because of the years the 911 turbo used the 3.3. Not all the fueling systems are the same, not all of the hall sensor pick ups are the same so that is all a variable based on the year. What I did in Chets 76 is different sensor and application wise then is Phil’s 94.
I built my own harness and weld my own intercoolers unless the customer has a good unit that I can modify.
I have been tuning EFI kits since the 90s. The “kit” is new but EFI is not. Ask Geoffrey who he called when he first started out on his EFI quest. Bottom line is if your MO is to search out for Turbo Kraft the competitor have fun. I do what I do and don’t really care what others are doing. If I can put out a good product, deliver the results requested then I have done my job. Since MANY people have posted their satisfaction with my EFI conversion I can only assume your MO is based on that. That too is ok I appreciate the diligence and know what it is like to support the home team. I do not however go around bashing other peoples product for self gain. It is called integrity. I believe in what I do and what my company does. If someone does not there are alternatives like Kris.

Stephen,
I don't think Marcs nonsence is dignified with a response, your time and expertise are best reserved for those who really appreciate it (pretty much everyone here!) so save your breath! Truth be told, you're probably better for not serving this clown as you would one of your much valued customers, save yourself the headache. Diablos revisited perhaps?

Troll another forum. That Forum would not be "this" Forum.
Have a nice evening - and I "edited" your post.

Wow, I have been away from Rennlist for a week or so, and I can't believe this thread turned in this direction. I am so glad to see so many other owners and enthusiasts jump to support IA. The good Doctor hopped on a plane, at a cost over $1,000, in about 12 hours when my original build had a problem after returning home. The repair took 30 seconds, and he was on his way again. I can't say that I am super pleased with some of the delays on my conversion, but I own some of those delays myself as I stated earlier. There is a reason my cars have made the trip to KC 4 times over the years, and its not due to a dyno sheet. I know my 3.6 will come back as promised and will run strong, and for years to come. Numbers are cool, but not the ultimate test of how a car performs. I kind of feel like guys wrapped up in dyno sheets are trying to compensate for short-comings in other areas
The instigator on this thread has an NO2 bottle hooked up to a C2T, so go figure. Typical South Florida BS!

A.Wayne: there are certainly many exceptions, but if you live there (southeast), you know what I mean!! I did a three year stint, and there was no way to bring up two kids in that place that I could see.

On a lighter note check this out for clever tuning
