What about this one? http://ukrcrc.com/gallery/albums/userpics/LANDYLINE.jpg

After some searching a few months ago I found these: http://www.simtekuk.co.uk/index.php/automotive_connectors/junior_power_timer_connectors/?k=:12:1630: these where the best quality I found. Unfortunately they have no Grey and no Blue in stock. If you order from them, do not forget to get the boots (sold separately but really strong and worth the money) This is were I got the blue : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUE-Fuel-injector-Cosworth-WTS-Sensor-with-boot-Bosch-EV1-2-pin-Mini-Timer-Plug-/121107629087?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c3293c41f And you can get from same guy black ones, although I believe simtek is better quality. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Fuel-injector-Sensor-plug-Lancia-Ducati-Golf-Fiat-BMW-Vauxhall-/121118560664?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c333a9198

I guess this short-circuit burned the transformer.

You will not have any problem.

Maybe I am talking nonsense, but I think it is just a bridge. If you remove it you just get 10 degrees safe mode. (works like this in my megajolt setup.)

I agree with you, but what about heat dissipation of the plastic box? The aly box is emitting some heat. The abs box I am afraid is going to keep all the heat inside. Have a look here :http://www.dem-uk.com/ looks promising since they make aly ip68. I am not sure for price.

Acording to Megamanual Quote "Easy Therm If you are using non-standard coolant and/or air temp sensors with a MS-I™ controller, you must create “.inc” files that are essentially look-up tables for your MegaSquirt® EFI controller to relate resistance to temperature (For MS-II™ you can change the curves directly in TunerStudio, with no other steps necessary). These files must then be compiled into one .s19 file, and then down loaded to the MegaSquirt® controller. EasyTherm makes it very easy to use “non-standard” temperature sensors with the MegaSquirt® controller. It does three things that otherwise can be a bit of a pain: 1) It automatically creates the .inc files from 3 temperature/resistance pairs. Entry in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius is allowed. Non-standard bias resistor values can be entered. 2) It creates the .s19 file using the above data - you do not need a compiler! 3) It downloads this .s19 file to the MegaSquirt® controller via the serial link (once R6 is shorted to enter bootloader mode), and reboots the MegaSquirt® - so you do not need to mess with Hyperterminal. Do not forget that you need to copy the applicable .inc files that EasyTherm creates to your MegaTune directory after a successful down load. Note that you do not need EasyTherm with MS-II, you can calibrate the thermistor tables directly in TunerStudioMS (under 'Tools') without reloading code." Unquote I can understand these 3 files are needed for the megatune to display correctly. This is also confirmed by http://www.extraefi.co.uk/oem_temp.htm Quote "Stage 3: MegaTune / Tuner Studio After installing MegaTune or Tuner Studio, copy your generated inc files from the above stage (c:/programfiles/easytherm/) into the directory MegaTune users: c:/programfiles/megasquirt/Car1/mtCfg/ Tuner Studio Users: mydocuments/TunerStudioProjects/Car1/inc/ airdenfactor.inc - That is for the inlet Air Temp sensor matfactor.inc - That is also for the Air temp sensor thermfactor.inc - This is for the coolant temp sensor Your display should now correspond to the temperature your sensors are at. If you had saved the config (msq) file before doing the above then re-load it now, before plugging in the coil packs." Unquote From my observations, the rover v8 and the GM sensor are different when cold. At working temperature, the reading is almost identical.

I will do the following test durring the weekend. 1.set the temp pot on the stim to one specific value. Measure also resistance with ohmmeter 2. write down the megatune value (original firmware) 3. Flash with rv8 firmware 4. check temperature. If temperature is the same....problem. If temp changed then all ok. Any objection to this simple experiment? Any different approach?

Thanks, and I have to copy the thermfactor.inc to the /megasquirt/029y4 in order to have correct indication on the computer also?

So to get things straight, I just re-flash this firmware and I am ready to load the msq?

Thank you for your answer. What about Air temperature sensor? Which one is calibrated in this updated firmware?

It is Nige's .msq but the ms1 v3 was build by my self and sourced from the US. The firmware is ms1 extra standard

Hi to all, I am doing my studying for the programming of the ms1. I have the following question: I am planning to use the hotwire coolant temperature sensor. According to megamanual the ms1 direct compatible sensor is Degrees F Degrees C Ohms -40º -40 100,700 0º -18 25,000 20º -7 13,500 40º 4 7,500 70º 21 3,400 100º 38 1,800 160º 71 450 210º 99 185 The hotwire v8 is : -10C (14°F) 9100-9300 Ohms 0C (32°F) 5700-5900 Ohms 20C (68°F) 2400-2600 Ohms 40C (104°F) 1100-1300 Ohms 60C (140°F) 500-700 Ohms 80C (176°F) 300-400 Ohms 100C (212°F) 150-200 Ohms To my understanding, from what I have read I need to run easy-therm for MS1 in order to build a translation table. Is this correct or I have miss-interpreted the instructions? If I do not reprogram, I believe the gauges in megatune will show incorrect temperatures.

I used a 12volt power supply, but with current limit, so I set it very low to be sure.

Lucky you did not fry it!!! I guess the 9v battery saved the day.... I am not sure a 12v power supply would be so forgiving.
