Accel DFI Gen 7
in a Sand Rail

Total Engine Control for our Sand Rail
ACCEL/DFI's 7.0+ Engine Management System

Get it in and working

Installation

Accel DFI Wiring Loom      Accel DFI Installed
"Standard" wire harness and original installation

The system was originally purchased with an engine from Speed-o-motive, and installed by V8 Rail.

Calibration & Tuning

Accel DFI Gen VIII Computer Interface   Accel DFI Gen 7 User Interface   Top Of The Hill - Engine Dyno Tuning   Top Of The Hill - Engine Dyno Tuning

The engine was rebuilt by Top of the Hill in Livermore, CA. I had Dave at Autotrend do the Accel tuning while on the engine dyno.  I was very impressed with Top of the Hill's facility and staff, and very happy with Dave's tuning ability and knowledge of the Accel software.

The Results

Peak Output:

485 HP at 6400 RPM
475 lb-ft at 4900 RPM

The torque curve makes the engine very driveable in the sand. 454 lb-ft @ 3500 RPM - 390 lb-ft @ 6500

Wiring Harness

The wiring that came with the car left a lot to be excited about:

Autotrend also makes an un-terminated harness (complete on the ECU side) that installers can use to make their own custom harness.
