Default MY NEW ENGINE MONITOR

WHAT A TOP BIT OF KIT THIS IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE PRO VERSION AND TELLS YOU JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING INC, RPM, BOOST, WATER TEMP, AIR TEMP, ALL SENSOR POSITIONS, OIL PRESSURE AND LAMBDA SITUATION, ALSO FAULT DIAGNOSTICS AND A FUNCTION TO ADJUST IGNITION AND FUEL RATES.

NOT SURE ABOUT THE SURROUND, THINK I MIGHT POWDER COAT IT BLACK.

MATT LEWIS IS SELLING THESE AND THAT IS WHERE MINE WAS FROM.

HE WILL DO ONE FOR Ł400 IF MY NAME IS MENTIONED.

ALSO IF YOU NEED THE SURROUND MAKING LET ME KNOW AND ILL DO YOU ONE.

THAT ONE IS THE STANDARD VERSION, COLLINS HAVE STOPPED MAKING THEM NOW.

THE PRO VERSION LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME BUT HAS THE EXTRA OPTION FOR THE FUEL AND AIR MAPPING.

im quite happy with mine and know of loads of peeps that are happy with theirs.

The only noticeable difference is the lamda and adjusting of fuel and air.

everything else seems to be the same. does that pro version also control water injection?

i wouldn't say that at all. but it is a sensor monitor rather than an ecu monitor. it will tell you what the ecu should be seeing from the sensors, but not if there is an internal fault of the ecu

mikelomax i think the surround needs to cover more of the monitor as it looks cheap and naff, especially the POWERCHIPS writing

Well, I've had both. I had one SECS monitor and it was fucked within a week - the digits disappeared and the screen went like a mobile phone screen when you press it with your finger.

I got another one, and it lost some of the digits, but I was dubious about the readings (water temp I think... this was in early 2002) - so used a Pectel monitor and found the readings were completely different (yes the Pectel monitor could have been wrong, but I know which one I'd trust!).

Just all my experiences.

Paul,
Mine is the same version as yours, are you going to connect the Pectel to the Stack pressure switches?

I wasn't going to as far as I know the Pectel Monitor uses VDO 10bar pressure sensors but not confirmed but thats what Dennis Osbourne told me as his name flases up on the monitor when turned on
