[DML] Re: Carburator.

[nicholden@xxxxxxxxx]

David, you hit the nail right on the head. I have not bought a fan 
villa due to the fact that the EFI control module i am purchasing has 
the facility to activate mutiple relays in a set sequence to bring on 
the fans (or anything else) the same way the fan villa does. 

Cheers, Nick

ps: for what it's worth i too feel that carburation is taking a step 
backwards. Yes it maybe easier to work on and understood by many than 
a 23 year old failing k-jetronic system but when working correctly 
the K jetronic is a better system. I do agree about access been an 
issue with the K-Jetronic system but with my EFI set-up thats half on 
there now it will have even more room than a carburator, admittantly 
at 4/5 times the cost though!

Not to mention multiple redundant temperature sensors, spark advance, 
all that electro-mechanical-vacuum logic (replete with solenoid 
valves, 
vacuum delay units, etc) and so on.  I've been pipe-dreaming about an 
open-source project like this for years.  I have to admit, though, 
that 
I am torn--keeping the D's engine working the way God intended it has 
its own appeal.

I once tried to convince some of the well-known players in the 
"DeLorean aftermarket electronics" game of the merits of an open 
architecture that would permit mix-and-matching of add-on 
electronics, 
but not too surprisingly, there was little enthusiasm. It would be a 
lot of work, and somebody technical would have to be quite committed 
in 
the role of main architect (and most of those people are busy these 
days).  So, how many embedded systems programmers do we have on the 
list?
