Just get the other side of the plug from whoever made your loom and buy a shiny new collins monitor for less money?

M K

will the collins read off the same 4 pins then? (i think my plug only uses 4 pins)

the original

yes.

or just change the plug.

The Collin one doe EXACTLY what the Pectel does (and I mean exactly if you catch my drift ). The only thing it lacks is the data-logging .

M K

im quite keen on the datta logging tho as its a nice feture to but able to call upon not essential i spose,

M K

how much would you guys pay for a pectel monitor for weber set up with data logging and fuel & ign trimmings same as ahmed/tommy field etc all have

Ryan

probably about Ł550-650 i would imagine for that one, as i've only ever seen 2-3 of them for sale in about 5 years

How badly do you want one?

I can lay my hands on one.........Thats a Pectel jobbie WITH fuel and ignition trimming.

Like Ryan said, not many about so it wont be cheap.

Would personally still go for the Collins (which I did). The Pectels are like antiques now and unless you have the software to go with it, the datalogging is pretty useless??

the 1 with trimmings etc i foud was about 1k with data logging and pc sptware and the unit is almost as new but its too much for me,

i think il look at the collins 1 then,

do they have fuel ign/trimmings?

Mike Rainbird

M K,
Yes they do one with this feature . As I said the Collin's ones are IDENTICALLY featured bar the lack of data-logging.

To see what one looks like, go on Franco's restoration thread .

foreigneRS

another option is the IAW Monitor software from RP Labs via Stu @ Motorsport Developments

includes data logging and trim facility in the pro version for just Ł250

RS500/364

That will be me LOL

Yes got a pectel my secound one in 4 years
and a collins one the collins i am sure uses the same pins speak to mark at grove and will tell you and sort it out !!

Well all you got to do is ask look and like me 3years later you might find one the collin are better for the lcd about 5 times bigger
but if you got the data logging software pectel !!

The Collins Pro version does have the trims yes for fuel and ign. They are abour 380 quid I think and connects exactly the same as the Pectel. 4 Wires (3 to the diagnostic connector, and a positive power feed).

They also have 4 spare analogue channels that you could use with other sensors like EGT, oil temp, pressure etc etc.

Think they are available in a choice of green and blue backlit screens too.

Phone Sue Collins and see what they say.

M K

iTrader: (9)

didnt realise they had extra channels too

think il get 1 of them then

can you set alarms on the collins

polly_x

iTrader: (2)

No Alarms on the Collins.

When I bought mine I phoned them and paid for it and it was delivered next day too.

funnily enough on the way back from steve scotts i now have a pectel monitor in my posession.

Its the early type with large Screen and loads of Comms ports

M K

iTrader: (9)

You mean the long thin lcd display?

any1 got a wiring diagram for the collins so i can see what wires it uses?

foreigneRS

surely it'll use the same as the others? pins 8, 11 and 27 for comms, and power from somewhere else?

M K

iTrader: (9)

oops missed this, lol

that answer my question


ryan, do you do the other half of a pectel monitor plug i could wire to the collins monitor

Franco

iTrader: (2)

Then got Prometheus to do this to my loom!





Sod the dated Pectel versions!

Ryan

i do mate, u can order them from farnell or RS though.

M K

iTrader: (9)

thats how i want it i already have the plug coming out of the car loom, i just need the other end to connect to the monitor.

i cant find it on the farnell website whats it under ryan or a part no would be better

K.Goa

I`m going to use this one:

foreigneRS

K.Goa looks very good for the price

do you have a link ecu then, or your want to interface it to a pectel datastream?

according to the link website forum, the protocol for ecu communications is 'kept secret', so how will you know what protocol the displaylink unit needs to receive?

shouldn't be too difficult to get the protocol though, either by listening in to a link ecu, or by hacking the freely downloadable PCLink software
