How does this sound for an idea: you could make cam keys an option for a few extra bucks when a customer purchases a kit . That way they can get everything in once place instead of having to order stuff from two different places.

Yep - I received the first batch of MAF pipes. I will do some final testing this weekend, and should be putting up the order page next week!
Having an option for including the cam-key is something I think is a good idea, and I am currently pursuing. I will update as soon as I get something solidified.

He mentioned that the kit is $500 in the thread over on Rennlist. A cam key set from 928 Motorsports is $38 and you get a 2* and 4* cam keys. An adjustable cam gear is $325.95 from Lindsey Racing. I think I'd rather have the keys....

Exactly. The cam-key does not have the fine-tune capability that an adjustable cam-gear gives you, but it gives you the majority of the gain for ~1/10th the cost. You just need to test which combination is best, and fortunately, I did that already and you can just use the info/data that I've provided. :cool:

Josh, on your site it says: "The '86 and '87 years had the "24pin" EPROM, while the '88 and '89 were upgraded to the "28pin" versions." Is that just for the turbo, does the 85.5 + NAs have the 28pin or 24pin??

I believe the switchover is the same for both the turbo and non-turbo 944.
Yep, the upgrade is not significantly difficult. I offer the conversion as a service. Additionally, when I convert a DME, I do go over the typical trouble-spots on the DME board. (requires fully removing the boards from the case)

What about the early cars? It's not totally clear to me what I would need to do to install this on my '84 944.

For an early car (my 944NA is also an early model), you will need a late-style DME (and converted to 28pin if it isn't already), and the NA-Tune. That is it, any other requirements are part of the kit.

Thanks for the link.
From the link: The Change was made by BOSCH in late 1987 but is referred to as the 88 redesign. There is much confusion about the 1988 DME and much of it is nonsense. The memory size is the same as the 86 DME. In 1988, the 4k x 8 EPROM was replaced by a 8k x 8 EPROM. The 24-pin socket was replaced with a 28-pin socket. The final change was to add a jumper to the board that instructed the 8051 to ignore its internal 4k x 8 memory. All 8k x 8 of memory is now stored in the EPROM.

Yeah - a lot of wording to simply say that with the 28pin DME we have access to all the software, unlike the 24pin units. Full access is needed, as I rewrote (software) the part of it not accessible on the 24pin unit.
