Default SECS Monitor has competition

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=7926435395

no where near as many functions, but looks good. would be ok for lambda with wb unit hooked up to the input. no alarms though.

too expensive i would say, compared to SECS monitor (although we don't know the price of the latest one yet).

Jim, how will they work on ERST's??

"The display is designed to work with a standard one volt lambda sensor, and a 3 BAR VOLTAGE output map sensor "

Last time i looked they dont have these as standard, i take it you were takin the mickey

nope i wasn't

theres no reason you cant fit a map sensor to an RST just for the display... (if you can find a +5v feed that is...)

Blue display looks the only decent thing on it.

I think it looks quite good for the money.

I wonder how quick it can update the screen?

I have now Tried and tested this unit tonight

It updates the screen 1/2 a second (but can be quicker makes it hard to read tho)

The Boost temp and AFR is shown in a bar form which is very hard to actually know what the reading is?
IMO it would be better with numbers

Not a bad unit to look at but,

When i compared it to the Pectel Monitor the boost pressure was different to the one on his screen

Mine was 0.048b his was 11.psi
So you can make your own mind up

Im sorry to bring this up again, but i was wrong about the bar chart figures. The unit WILL display figures for TEMP & Pressure!

the figures are clearly displayed at the top of the screen, and the bar charts are additional.
