Jim,

Not really sure why this was needed.  I can supply rebuilt ECU, rebuilt
idle unit, new wiring harness, new distributor, etc. for way less than
this.  The digifant system is actually very reliable.  Instead, lets create
a new system out of parts, and use you as our test subjects...  You can bet
that it will have it's own issues that folks will start a new forum section
just to talk about.

I personally think they came up with this because they were having failures
with their high compression engines due to the fact that the digifant
system doesn't have a knock sensor.  If you have one of their high
compression engines, this could be a great way to go, but if you are going
to spend that much money, why not do a Subaru or some other conversion?

Having OBD II on a waterboxer would be cool, but is it worth $3k?

Just my opinion,
Ken
