What is this worth to you.
I have a working prototype of a EcoMod project I have been working on for years. I will describe the basic function.
I have developed an electronic Gauge that based on engine load parameters controls the way in which the Engine control Unit Processes throttle opening parameters.
2 LED's that can be put anywhere in the dashboard can signify what load zones the car is in without needing to look at the digital readout.
for example the end user can set a group of parameters. or an economy window from 30"HG all the way to 14.5 PSI of positive pressure. for example when activated it will control fuel usage by keeping the engine out of the undesirable load zones. it can take a high pressure turbo car and cap the boost pressure Or, with a naturally aspirated car it can operate in a end user defined window (e.g. 10-20"HG for me)
the unfortunate issue here is for automated operation to occur the car must have an electronic throttle this is not a device for those afraid of wiring as there are a minimum of 5 wires that need to be connected, as many as 10 with added functionality and switching.
I want to set the MSRP at $299 since this should put it within reach of most ecomodders and will pay for itself in a few months time what do you guys think... if there is enough intrest I will order the components for an innital batch since I know the general public will eat me alive trying to get these, I'm only selling them to ecomodders. so we can support each other.
