What do these actually do?

Rippers

They give you information from the ECU about the engines sensors

The Pectel monitors are very hard to come by as they haven't been made for years if you do find one expect to pay Ł4-500 for it

how does the secs monitor wire into the ECU?

foreigneRS

pectel monitors give you information from the ecu, SECS monitors do not.

pectel monitors work by reading a datastream from the ecu that contains information on the voltage, boost, rpm etc. can also datalog and store peak data information

this can also be done using a laptop or carputer with software developed by RPLab that is available from Stu @ MotorsportDevelopments

the SECS monitor just piggy backs onto the ecu multiplug and does it's own analogue to digital conversion of the ecu inputs. to be used as an indicator and fault finder only. can display peak data, but has no datalogging.

if there is sufficient interest RPLab could manufacture 'pectel' style monitors brand new for less than used genuine ones. they would need to manufacture a minimum quantity of 50 to make it worthwhile.
