so i fitted the secs monitor.... great product

What would you guys say was a good act? mine is steady at 30 degrees on a cruise , what difference would water injection make?

And the map reading is different to my shonky boost gauge, so i take it i should adjust the boost to the map reading and ignore the gauge...

 

ACTs on a light cruise are TOTALLY AND UTTERLY IRRELEVANT . Go see what it is on full chat .

However, if it exceeds 60+°C (back off straight away), you need to think about WI and/or a better intercooler .

Who-ever live mapped the car would have done so connected to the ECU, so would have mapped it to the boost pressures the car was seeing NOT a shonky aftermarket boost gauge .

 

its got a 50mm pace rs500 style cooler

and i wish it had been live mapped but i live in devon you know

 

it is alway worth the drive why do you think pepole bring there cars from holland and far to have done!!!

 

it will be done! its only stage 3....

 

I'm trailering mine to MSD Where abouts in Devon are you ??

 

These intercoolers are "okay" up to 25psi, then the ACTs climb sky-high.....

WI will be a must on your car if you exceed 25psi.

 

im in totnes.....


mike thanks mate, im peaking at 25psi, but i will fit the rest of the water injection asap , what sort of drop will it give?

 

Sorry to post-jack but is it ok to use just the SECS monitor outputs to control the WI Mike ???

 

Thank you

 

Yes it is .

Best to set temp to be "ON if ACTS exceed 42°C and boost is above 10psi". This is the rally strategy and keeps the ACTs around the 44°C mark at full chat (with WI running).

 

you need to run the WI pump through a relay i think not directly from the secs unit

 

Yep, obviously you need to wire up the pump as per the SECS instructions, I just thought he meant could he use the SECS instead of using the ECU to control it (which it can with Pectel hardware).

 

 

Thats what i meant

 

all good then
