The folks at Zdyne (http://www.zdyne.com) have offered to do a group buy on their Gold ECU for the 88-91 Civic/CRX.

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, this is a very very trick unit. Everything is software adjustable with a laptop--revlimits, fuel, timing, spark, top speed, vtec control, clutch cut, NOS, etc. You can use this on your stock motor, modified stock motor, B16a, etc. You won't need a different ecu for the swap as you can use your factory piece. Check out the specs here:

Now, retail price for one unit is $950 and you supply the ECU (PM6, PM8, PM7, PR4 and PR3 I believe).

With this group buy, 2 ecus = $800/piece. Right away a $150 savings! 3 have been sold, and the more sold, the more money off. So right now the price is $800/ecu. If 2 more are sold, that price will one again drop.

If this is something that you are interested in, IM me, post here or send an email to: typer@starband.net I have several references on this board if you are worried about doing a group buy through me.

Contact me I will send you the details of how this needs to happen. I know even $800 seems expensive, but this unit is the ultimate way to tune your car.

wow...800 is a lot...but how much would the price go down if we bought another two? another 100-150 bucks? if the price got down around 700 i'd be interested.

 

Well, considering that they start out life at $950, I think $800 is decent. At 5 the price will fall more--possibly close to $700 but more than likely $750. More than 5, and I don't see why pricing won't be close to $700.

I encourage you guys to call Bill @ zdyne and ask him what the unit does. It is very impressive to say the least.

 

Are the PR3 guys welcome on this GB?

 

Anyone is welcome as long as zdyne offers the "Gold" tune for your particular ECU. You may need to call them to get clarification on any ecu not listed.

 

not that he needs it, but i'll vouch for him.

 

For any other PR3 guys who want to know- they do offer it. How many are in so far?

 

3 confirmed.

 

dammnnn....only if i had more money than god, i'll be back if it happens to drop to under 300.

 

Yeah, we'd need to order 50 or so to make that happen!

 

If it did get down to $300 I think everyone would buy it and we could make it to 50 or even 100 people easily.

 

I see the logic, but I think the price will bottom out long before $300.

I'll throw a "what if" out to zdyne, but I don't see it ever being that cheap.

 

true but if it would be anywhere near 500 or 600 I think everyone would jump on it.

 

id be intrested.... pr3 obd0 ecu how much an when would we have to pay?

 

I think I'm going with it, but do you actually have to pay more for the VTEC Control, you're already buying their most expensive unit.

 

5 units = $750. 3 are already confirmed (I am one of them).

And yes, NOS control and vtec control are extra, just like it would be if you bought one by yourself and paid $950.

I believe the next price cut after 5 is at 8, and if we reach that we are susposed to call Bill and see how he'll hook us up, because he has never sold that many at one time.

 

Zdyne
I use it in my 98 ITR and I love it!! This is the easiest standalone to tune on the Earth. I tune it in my driveway with my home computer and a 25 ft phone cord.
Cant say enough about the Zdyne.

P.S. no you cant run Zdyne with OBD2 you have to convert to OBD0 which is a piece of cake if you know the right people (wink wink).

interested if price goes down some more. i need it bad , but need to read the site to get more info. tuning would make a big difference in my car right now.

 

PR3 ECU's can't be used. Just FYI.

 

You sure the PR3 can't be used?

I am not fer certain, so I urge anyone with a PR3 to call zdyne and find out.
