THOR Racing Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 A long time ago I developed my own range of boost controllers and fuel computers but never quite made it into production. I'm now trying to get Government DTi funding to help complete this, but I need your help. Can anyone who likes this idea of this product please email me at [email protected] and let me know that "Yes, I'd buy a DCX system if it was ever finsihed and retailed" The details are here..... TRL DCX-Infinity system It's a Palm PDA based boost controller etc etc and more here... Palm PDA DCX Demo to download... try it...

Piran Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'd go for it - I've been watching it for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yep I'd definately buy one (if I could afford it), I remember speaking to you about them at JAE LAST YEAR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Give me a reason why people wouldn't want it!!! Need a guinea pig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timwildman Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Originally posted by Thorin Yep I'd definately buy one (if I could afford it) Me to, I was looking at the little thing that plugs into your diag port, from techtom. Is this a simular thing just with added extra boost controls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Sounds good- what platforms will it be available on do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I think i'd go for it, will it work with a Compaq iPAQ? if so Put me down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yep, looks good to me, especially the whole idea of an interlinked system with the reduction in seperate piggyback units and displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez sutherland Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Looks good to me - I would probably have bought one if it was available as a product right now! Definately an 'upgrade' for the future though if you go ahead Pete. I might be wrong here (I'm not all that technical!) but it seems to me that upgradeability and fututre proofing are potential benefits of your system - you'd have to be an idiot not to want that!

THOR Racing Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 Thanksfor all your emails and kind responses. Lets hope it works and I can get cracking on it. As for platforms , it'll be available first on PalmOS 4.0 then Pocket PC (WinCE) and general Win32 PC apps as well. The platforms depend on the take up of other plaforms, but the general philosophy is not to use the native routines on the particular processor but write generic ANSI C which we can port. So far we have the same stuff running on three platforms (including windows demos) without problem. Price wise, I suspect that for a function it'll be no more expensive than current Apexi and HKS stuff etc. BUT as you've seen you get vastly more benefits. Oh and yes an S-Video type output is also planned. Basically you choose which communications method you want to your device IrDA or Bluetooth (no wires for me Sir) and then which GUI medium; Palm, Pocket PC, Laptop etc then you can also buy a TV adaptor to give S-Video and we also have one that will speak to you to tell you whats going on. I've shed loads of stuff designed and under lock and key. Probably the first units would be simple O2 monitors, Wideband O2 and Knock Detectors. Later months will be boost controllers and fuel computers. The list goes on. Fingers crossed Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Well don't just talk about it!!! Seriously though, sounds excellent, I want one!... Or err, all of them??!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 If a laptop is used as the GUI, can this be used in conjuction with an AEM? It looks very promising, good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
