We are finalising the software for our new data monitor, the new unit adds in addition to our other products features - external EGT sensor input, custom bitmap images, larger graphical VFD display, OEM podmount / single DIN or standalone enclosure ( manufactured for us by Forge motorsport - machined from a billet of aluminium then black anodised ), graph page for overlaying traces e.g. boost / rpm etc...
Unit is stilll plug and play, planned future uprades are up to 30 minutes of data logging stored on board for download to PC, flash upgrade for software, bitmap generation/upload software.
Full details will be available very soon on our new website.
Proposed prices are: -
VGS1 - Subaru Single DIN £400

jim1969 23 March 2006 12:37 PM

Hot! Does this change colors to match the various filters (green, red or blue)?

PSI3 23 March 2006 12:40 PM

Hi Jim, yes i can be filtered red, blue or green using optional filters, standard colour shipped is blue.
Simon

jim1969 23 March 2006 12:42 PM

Even the standalone? Awsome looking unit.

PSI3 23 March 2006 01:23 PM

Hi Jim, yes the standalone can be supplied in blue, red or green.
Simon

jim1969 23 March 2006 02:28 PM

Guess what I'm buying. What are the dimensions of the standalone unit?

Edward 23 March 2006 04:11 PM

Simon, does your new monitor use the Subaru select monitor protocol or the much slower OBD?

PSI3 23 March 2006 04:24 PM

Edward, our software is a combination of the select monitor protocol and OBD II, it is typically 4 times faster than OBDII.

Simon

PSI3 23 March 2006 04:26 PM

Jim, the graphical monitor is available in all of the OEM enclosures as the VFD version, plus the standalone which measures - Length 156.00mm, Height 50.00mm, Depth 55.00mm.

Are there going to be any other external temperature inputs other than egt?
A couple of thermocouple inputs for measuring charge temp etc would be very useful.

Also will there be any other aftermarket ecu support other than autronic? Motec maybe?

Cheers

Dan.

PSI3 24 March 2006 06:38 PM

Hi Danny, current inputs are:
EGT
Oil Pressure
Oil Temperature
Fuel Pressure

I will look into the possiblity of adding a couple more inputs.
We are always open to suggestions for additional features, thankyou.

Please excuse my ignorance here .... I was looking at a VFD monitor for my MY99 Impreza (pod housing in the cubby hole on top of the dash) .... I take it this is an even better version, and can be mounted in the same way?? :confused:

May have come along just at the right time!! ;)

Thanks,

Norm.

unfeasablylargegonads 26 March 2006 03:48 PM

Hi,

Looks REALY nice :)

I would realy like a thermocouple input, wideband lamda, hell even an input for an external knock sensor so I can get rid of the knocklink (I know the ecu already has a sensor but I read on here that its not very good?), basicly I would like the unit to replace all gauges and flashy light boxes:)

Does it have an external alarm output so I could set all the various alarm parameters on the unit and then wire in one red light in my driving vision?

The only other comment I have is it seems the external sensors are VERY expensive, again i am only going on the prices I have seen advertised for your previous products (117 quid for oil presure - I could probably get the whole DEFI guage and sensor for that).

Cheers

Dan

Danny Boy 26 March 2006 09:33 PM

Dan i have one of the older units so you are quite welcome to have a look at its functionality when you pick up the gearbox.

Dan.

Hi Norm, yes this can be supplied in the OEM subaru pods as per our existing units.

Hi Dan,
At present the new unit has the following:-
Inputs
EGT
MAP (boost)
Oil Temperature
Oil Pressure
Fuel Pressure

Outputs
Shift/Warning light (12v)
Alarm 2
Alarm 3
Alarm 4

We have allowed on the PCB for 2 more analogue inputs and 1 more thermocouple input. Your suggestions have been taken on board :D
Data monitors will be software upgradeable to take advantage of any new inputs.

With regards to sensors, we can only buy Defi through a third party, we have looked at alternatives but prefer to stay with Defi due to the quality, the oil pressure and temp are standard Defi items so can be bought anywhere, we do however include in our kit the OEM Subaru galllery plug adaptor, instructions, cable ties and a sticker :D
Please be aware that the Defi shift light is modified by us to run 12v not 5v as per the standard item.

Dan.

Cool. Thanks for the offer, will take you up on that if I manage to resist buying one beforehand :)

The PSI guys are bad people, they are now offering their old box at 200 quid! so do I buy the old one at a realy good price or pay double for the flashy new unit? ARghhhh.......

unfeasablylargegonads 27 March 2006 10:21 PM

Simon,

All sounds good, thanks for the explanations :)

Another attraction for me personaly is to keep the other half happy as she hates lots of gauges that apparently "shine in my face at night".
