SBEC Chip Converter Group Buy

[quantum]

Ok here is the group buy for the SBEC Chip Converter (discussed in this thread). This converter will allow you to use the same electronic erase chips the SMEC uses (AT29C256, 27SF512, etc) which saves the hastle/cost of UV erasing. This also allows the use of a chip emulator like the Ostrich in SBEC cars for real time tuning (It should also work in SBEC II cars, but I have not tested it. If you have a socketed SBEC II and are willing to test please PM me). There is also a open socket that will allow the use of M87C257 chips if you already have them and would like to use those along with electronic erase chips or an emulator.

Like most group buy's the more ordered the lower the price, but unlike most group buy's if I can get over a certian limit the time to get the order drops.

I need at least 10 orders to start. The price for 10-30 orders is ~$35 and lead time is about 1-1.5 months. If I can get over 30 the lead time drops down to 2-3 weeks. Also with 30-90 the price drop down to ~$33. If by some miracle more than 90 people are interested the price drops to ~$25. The prices shouldn't vary by more than $1 and I didn't include shipping in that price (it's small and light, shipping shouldn't be much).

I'm not sure about a deposit yet; I'm talking with Turbos Unleashed about having them on their site. It all really depends on responce.

Please post only if you are ready to purchase one. First person please start a list. (eg; post "1. :your username:", next person 2, etc)

Thank you.

I already have an ostrich and i pretty much ruined my chip socketing my SBEC so my car is just sitting now. I hope we can get some people on this...would like that lead time to go down a little.

Anyways, i really don't wanna buy a burner, chips and eraser and all that stuff to get my car running again so i'm willing to pay more if need be....

Thanks!

I'm interested, but hesitnated. I have 5 SBEC eproms and a UV eraser already.

Before I lay out more money on chips and parts, I'd like to know and understand how a Ostrich will work for me.

You can change your cal on the fly or for me, I just change my cal at home and at work on my computers, I drive it home, tweak it, then note the change, tweak and drive home again after work. Awesome unit.

And you can tweak from the drivers seat rather than pulling the SBEC, opening it up, and replacing the chip each time you swap cals. Now that ive got the convertor, I need to save up some doh for the ostrich!

That's what I said,

You don't have to open the case if you get the chip extender, which ironically, uses the same cable as the Ostrich,

If I don't get at least 10 orders I can still make them for few people who want them. At the most the price would jump $10. Hopefully that wont be the case though.

I'll still take one.

[Sloride]

whatever you can do to get these to market would be greatly appreciated.

It helps put us on equal footing with the smec-ers.... I believe it to be a better option then rewiring to a smec.

I might be interested, although I'll need it asap (one month-ish) ! If one were to pay sayyyy 100.00 for it could they get it a lot sooner and lower the needed GB purchases?

[mcsvt]

I'll get on the list also.

The min order to get them quickly is around $550. So far I have 6 People if I include you who commited to buy (at $35). That means everyone would need to pay out about $92. If everyone is ok with that and will pay a deposit I'll order them. If that doesn't happen I'll order from the slower cheaper place Monday so those who want them now will not have to wait more than necessary.

[turbo84voyager]

Add me in there for 1 at the $35 rate
