Solid state DME Relay conversion ?
 

IIRC, someone is now making a new style of DME relay for the 944 models.

Is anyone familiar with this ? It also seems to me that aside from the fact that it has blade connectors, it would be otherwise compatible with the 911 harness.

Has anyone converted ? Is it even possible ? I know at least one of you knows the answer to this.

Are you referring to Joe Baumbach's Focus 9 Technology? I bought one of his DME relay with the fuel pump primer for my 1988 911 and am very pleased. Have been running it in my auto for 7 weeks now, so far so good.

How did you convert the pins ?

Never mind.

You are welcome.

wow this seems like a great thing. I love the fuel prime

Help my ignorance - what is the benefit of the pump prime? The fact that fuel pressure is already built up in the system when cranking ensues?

Edit - after going onto his site and reading, that is the biggest benefit which results in quicker starting.

You bet. I'm surprised this hasn't come up more often.

Ordered! Thanks guys.

40 bucks great deal ordered.

There is no option to ship to Canada!

Buy it ship it to me I'll ship it to you. If you want to. PM me I'll give you my address name etc...

When I check his website, it seems these are sold out. Any info otherwise?

Looks like he's sold out... :(

Unless I got the last one the non priming 84-89 911 relay is at the bottom left of the page I just bought it 10 minutes ago.

Just ordered off his eBay page.

I never had a problem with my DME relay, but now I seem to have experienced two failures in as many months. This seems to be a heavy duty unit that was specifically designed to be bullet proof under heavy draw. It seems like a reliability upgrade to me.

Wow! that does appears to be a nice up grade. Right up there with the head light relay kit.
I have yet to have a problem with my DME rely however, I did purchase one one a few yrs. ago from our host. After reading about failure issues here in the forum.
I hope this guy restocks soon.

So I got mine, and installed it Saturday. It has the pre prime option, and I LOVE that. You can actually hear the fuel pump running, and this is a great thing, IMO. Very reassuring. Confirms the DME relay and the fuel pump are working every time you start the car.

It comes in a static free bag, and you have to ground yourself to the car before you install it, but I am super happy with this product.
