Focus 9 Technology 911 DME

Has anyone tried one, the website says that they are sold out and I sent an inquiry through their website, but was hoping to actually talk to someone but a phone number is not to be found.
I need a DME for my Carrera and was hoping to try them out.

I have used the diagnostic 3.2 system in the beta stage , It is fantastic. Pure Genius .
The programable system for a motronic 3.2 is still in development .
The work that J is doing is first rate . It will be worth the wait .

Read the spec. The custom DME ECM requires key parts cannibalized from an original Bosch DME ECM.

That is just the DME relay, NOT the DME itself.

I have the original DME relay they sold without the diagnostic lights. It has been great.

There's a VEMS ECU - straight plug-in replacement to a 3.2 via an adapter harness. As well as 964, 993, all flavors of 944, 951 & 968. https://www.pnpecu.com/vems-39-c.asp

Hi Gumpy
Your post (in error) actually was a good thing… making me and others aware of this updated relay! THX… going to grab one of these for myself.

Regards,
JT

A simple test-light at less than 1/5 the cost, provides adequate test info!
Besides, who wants an electronic device with 20X the components that can fail,
versus the original OEM DME relay with just two internal relays?

I would love to have a programmable ecu, especially since original injectors are no longer available.

I have one in my 944S and agree with you.

Still will require the original 911 3.2 type injectors, since it still uses key Bosch integrated circuits. No benefit there!

I’ve had the relay (fuel prime version) in mine for 4 years now and it has been flawless.

Large benefits being able to tune fuel and timing maps. I should know, been tuning ecu's for 30 plus years. Especially if engine is modified, cams-compression,or larger displacement.

I sent Joe an email earlier this month. He replied "We are testing a new hardware configuration for the 911 DME, I am just waiting on some Beta testers to complete testing. My hope is to have them back in stock in early to mid-March."

Thank you.
VEMS is also available as "stealth", built into Motronic casing
