Re: [DML] Re: Carburetor

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

The TEC3 ECM has some of these bells and whistles in
that it not only fully manages spark and fuel, but
also has 3 user-definable inputs and 3 user-definable
outputs.  Inputs can be from virtually any kind of
sensor, (temp, pressure, vehicle speed, you name it),
then the outputs are also programmable and can be
functions of any of the engine sensors or of the user
inputs.  Fans on/off based on engine temp, torque
converter lock-up based on vehicle speed, shift light
based on RPM, etc.  Heck, maybe raise a spoiler over
60 mph a-la Porsche.  Another nice thing is it has a
built-in rev-limiter.  I've just started learning this
thing, but wanted to point out that the engine
management systems out there are already accomodating
things besides just engine management.  The TEC3 is a
bit pricey, but Electromotive is based relatively
close to me and I liked having support nearby.  I'm
sure other systems have similar features.

I'll let you know when I have that speed-operated
spoiler installed!  ;  )
