Fast XFI at PRI

[Jackson]

Forgive me if this has been posted. A quick search of 'Fast XFI' on the message board didn't return anything.

* single ecu capable of batch or sequential
* software select ignition system (optispark, HEI, DIS, etc..). No sending back for firmware upgrades.
* software selection of cell resolution

The software on the PC was alpha but was able to demo it for me. All in all it looked competitive to the current/next generation of systems on the market.

My main questions consisted of upgrade paths. How can existing customers upgrade to the current system. Does it mandate a new harness or are the pin-outs compatable? Will there be "official" training for the new system. All of which these questions went un-answered. I can imagine they're still working out the business ends of these questions/decisions.

Just a few minute demonstration was pretty interesting to see. The fast guys were a pleasure to talk with.

I talked with them as well at PRI and asked the retrofit question. The box alone will be about $2000. They will supply you with a pinout chart to wire in your current harness to the new box.

I was told it would be released in January, but I did not ask what year.

I did not even bother with the training question as over the years I have gotten tired of the same answer; "Everything you need to know is in the help files."

Looked like a nice system though and I may consider upgrading.

What are the new features????????did you ask?

 

[plumber]

a few features the xfi has that I know of scalable cells, some built in diagnostics to tell you a sensor is bad ect. xtra channels built in for data logging. I believe it takes the newer style lsu4 type 02 sensor too.

it will not plug in to the old fast harness (different connector) they are really shooting for a late January release.

This was something that was demo'd for me. Very cool stuff. There were some new tables/functions as well.

[plumber]

a couple more things it has,

switch selectable tune ups
boost control
converter lockup control
air conditioning idle function
supports 1,2,3,4 and 5 bar map sensors
