Hi All
I received questions about ICM and wanted to share the answers with all of you.
ICM is actually an ECM without the fueling strategies.
It has outputs to trigger RPM inputs to EFI systems such as GEN6 , GEN7-THRUSTER.
Even our competitors products like FAST Classic EFI or XFI, that are currently using an E-DIST box can benefit from the addition of ICM.
It can utilize virtually any crank/cam wheel/signal variations.
It has built in drivers for up to 8 smart or conventional coils. It is not a CD/Amplifier box, although you can use our 8 channel CD or our 6A and upcoming Pro 7 SS modules to amplify the energy for up to 8 conventional coils.
Remember that output energy of Smart Coils cannot be increased by raising input voltage.
The competition cannot compete with ICM no matter what they say.
From this day forward, THRUSTER ICM will set the mark of what and how ignition/engine functions are controlled.
ICM is sold a la cart. Please contact me if you want to order a system so I can make sure you are getting everything you need.
Here is a dare to compare to an MSD 7531

MSD info was obtained from the instructions of the 7531 found on their website.
Here is what it would cost if you attempt to somewhat duplicate ICM. (Prices from Summit)
MSD Digital 7 7531 $829.95 – NOS 15975 $749.95 – Dedenbear L2 $399.95 for a total of $1979.85
Even if you combine all of the above, you only get a third of what ICM is capable of for less money.
Thruster ICM Jobber Price starts at $1234.99; Even with all the bells and whistles added, ICM won’t come close in price to the three combined MSD modules above.
In the coming months, EFI Version GEN8 will be added. As will:
Traction control will be added.
Fly by Wire will be added amongst other things.
This is a modular system, designed to grow with your doe$$$.
Software will be available to download off the DFI website in the next day or two.
There is a Standard Lite and Pro Version of software, the key will be built into the com cable.
A DEMO version of the software will also be available soon.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us and ask any questions you might have. This is the ulimate system the others wished they had. We are direct distributers for Accel and all warranties apply.
