SkyJawa Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Right chaps, Got an SBC-ID, Powermeter and Optional harness coming over from Dusty. The harness allows you to monitor other functions from the ecu. For example: injector pulse width, inlet air temperature, airflow, throttle. What would you lot recommend being the things to monitor and why? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Have you ordered them yet? If not could i split the shipping with you and get the Powermetre I-D if it's cheap enough? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Already ordered and paid mate, I'm in on a shipping deal with Jason and Paul (jasonmoola and cashpoint) as they are being shipped with Pauls wheels. If you're quick I'm sure you could get in on it too - send em a PM The Powermeter ID is about $245 which is around £136 quid, but add the VAT when it comes in. Shipping was about an extra $20 each for me and Jason to add to Pauls shipping order..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'd wait for the Blitz R-Vit to come out in July - plug and play Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the r vit work with pre face lift cars as it says obd II which i thought was only later cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 It will in July. The ODB VII version is out now... Regards, Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the differences between it and the p.m. ? apart from probable increased cost;) The pound will be down against the dollar by june !!!

SkyJawa Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Too late now - all ordered! But would like input on what to monitor. I guess Oil Press would be useful as well as A/F, but what else? Injectors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Originally posted by jasonmoola What are the differences between it and the p.m. ? apart from probable increased cost;) The pound will be down against the dollar by june !!! Well I was talking about the optional features of the harness really not the Powermeter. The R-vit is a state of the art bit of kit that reads most of the ECU info and simply plugs into the ODB terminal. Things like speed, tachometer, water temp, voltage, injector pulse, intake air temperature, air flow, inlet manifold temperature, oxygen reading, throttle position etc etc. The R-VIT can be linked via an infra red portal to the SBC iD Boost Controller. Information gained from the R-VIT can be used to help control and optimise the vehicle boost parameters through the SBC iD Boost Controller. The pound won't matter if you buy it from a UK company We'll be selling these at a good price anyway Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Does it still enable the use of speed map feature? AND SURELY SOMEONE MUST KNOW WHATS GOOD TO MONITOR?!?!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 Right then - since no-one has any ideas, this is what I'm going to go with so far. (I can have 3 extras as you get 6. Boost, speed and power with the powermeter fitted on the first 3 and 3 more). Water temp - (would prefer oil temp but don't think there is an ECU output for that) Oil Pressure - again so you know everything seems to be running fine. A/F - can you monitor this as it specifies MAF voltage, Jspec don't have a MAF..... Thought about injector pulse width but not sure what that will show. Can you work out duty cycle from it? (don't see much point in monitoring the throttle position sensor?) So I guess I really still don't know! LOL! The Blitz site says: "DATA 1-3 Display ¡V This boost controller has the ability to display any electronic output from the vehicle ECU (SBC Optional Harness required). It can display almost any voltage output from the computer (i.e.: TPS, temperature, pressure, A/F, injector pulse and etc.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Matt H mate - they've done a fair few SBC's before, though no harnesses, but its just a few more ecu connections. Also coz I want his Ferrari chap to fit me an EGT sensor same time too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 dragging up this old thread to see if anybody has more info on the Optional harness ? what to monitor and more importantly what wires to splice off the ecu, im going to fit it at the weekend when i have my dash out to do my heater matrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I asked the same question late last year, and nobody knew WTF to do with it, not even Matt H (he had never seen one before). It's not the wiring into the ECU that is the problem, it is setting the correct parameters on the unit that can cause confusion. Ben.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovatt Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 so the problem is interpreting the data the ID shows ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Originally posted by lovatt so the problem is interpreting the data the ID shows ? Yes, you have to input what type of info you want it to show, i.e. percentage/voltage/time and then you have to figure out what voltage range the ECU will be sending the information in so that you can interpret it correctly. I never got it right, but then never changed the display from the power/speed screen. Ben.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 might be worth a search on supraforums ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Originally posted by lovatt might be worth a search on supraforums ? Tried that........ ............found nothing. Sorry dude, best to leave it with an installer like Matt H, and let them sort it out. Ben.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
