Hi all

Has anyone with a collins ecu monitor got a picture of it installed...I have just bought one and wondered if they go in the clock position ok like the secs unit?

regards mark

 

Nobody use these??? maybe i have made a mistake in buying this,i was told they are better than secs?

regards mark

 

I think they're a bit bigger than the S.E.C.S. monitor Mark, can only remember Franco on here who's got one, and he's got an Escort....

It's Collins' version of a Pectel monitor, basically.

 

Cheers bill,i will have to wait for it to turn up and hope it fits ok

I have one, they are pretty nice and they are 6 inches x 3.5 inches in size if that give you any idea regarding where you want to place it

 

Any photos??i have got mine now and i have no idea where to fit it

What a shambles this is turning out to be i plugged monitor in this morning and it wont work.i was led to believe this would work with l6,l8 and p8 as stated in the collins instructions,but you have to have a chip that supports this my msd chip is a l6 and they do not support datastream,only their l8 chips do??? so it will not work...to get it to work i assume i need either,

1- l6 with collins chip
2-l8 with any chip that supports datastream
3- p8 ???

anyone got any ideas

regards mark

 

Nobodys level 6 will datastream, not just ours.

ECU needs converting to L600 pal.

 

I have just phoned collins and they said they can supply a board and chip to run the monitor on my l6 ecu for Ł250 ...the problem is i want to run the msd chip anyone want to buy a brand new collins engine monitor pro version

regards mark

 

The "board" converts it to L600. Its similar to a L8 then.

Wounder mate, i i wish you had asked me about this on the phone. Your luck is really poor with this whole cosworth upgrading route lately isnt it?

 

how do you convert to l600 stu???
will my msd l6 chip work in it then???

regards mark

 

I lay the blame on Mike rainbird i tried to ring him all last week to buy a secs monitor and rear shims,but just kept getting engaged or unanswered,so i bought the collins monitor which was available
