Did you use any of the stock Mazda sensors? Where did you
get the VDO
sensors? What about your EGT sensors? Did you install
CHT's?

I didn't use any stock Mazda sensors, but I
believe the temp sensors could be used. You would have to do the science
experiment to calibrate them, but then you could post the results, and be a
hero to everyone else :-) In the FD at least, the oil pressure sensor is a
goofy thing, that's most unreliable, so you won't want to try to use that
anyway.
I sure hope they last, because replacing
them means going back into that EGT/CHT connector on the EM-2. I grounded
the other 2 EGT inputs, and hooked up 8 foot of CHT wire to each of the
CHT's. These are twisted, and soldered on the ends to make a probe.
These are coiled up in the engine compartment now, for use as experimental temp
probes. Unless I find a specific use for them, they won't be permanently
connected to the engine.
For the record, I'm going to be monitoring
the following with the EM-2:
water temp out of the WP
housing
water temp into the WP housing
water pressure
oil temp into the engine
oil temp in the pan
oil pressure
fuel pressure
O2
2- EGT's
OAT
MAP
voltage
Pitot/Static for TAS
both fuel tanks
fuel flow
4- CHT probes for testing various
temps
(and everything else I can't remember off
the top of my head)
Cheers,
Rusty (off to tame the wild EMU- stay near
the phone Tracy <g>)
