Default Water Temp and Knock Info for Subaru

ToI have a Defi water temp and control, also a Knock link.
To match my while dials I managed to get a hold of a Defi controller and water temp , boost ect.
After some looking around managed to get a Knock Link
I know the water temp on the Subaru’s are dampened down so much , that when you showing near the red , its to late hence getting the gauge set.
No I have an upgraded Simtek, I suppose I can see the knock level and water temp as raw data on the Toucan.
So the above are surplus to requirements ?
Can anyone confirm I am correct before I part with them ?

you may need a couple of extra sensors for the Toucan depending on exactly what you want to view but basically that will do everything a set of gauges will do

...and a whole lot more too

FYI we will be introducing a new update soon with, amongst other things:

- user editing of gauge layout on the 4 pages
- a new "lean lambda" alarm (if rpm> "x", and boost >"y" then alarm if lambda is >"z")
- Alternative gear indicator with digits rather than an "H" pattern
- Lowest oil pressure marker (qualified by engine running and rpm > 600)

And for Syvecs users:

- 12 CAL support
- second EGT and lambda gauges (for S8 users)
- Fuel level gauge
- limp/cut warning/alarm with description of why the engine's in limp/cut mode

MoTeC support will be next, then we still hope to do an OBD-II version

Great stuff,
I get me order in soon then.

I will now sell my defi guages and knock link.

My main reason for the upgrade is to get fuel pressure sensor and then compare to boost.

Toucan allows "relative" fuel pressure monitoring, so the displayed fuel pressure should remain constant with boost/vacuum, and you can then set it to alarm if it drops
