I note from the manual that GM sensors are preferred but that it is possible to "map" your own sensors characteristics into the MS software. However I'd prefer to avoid doing this if at all possible.
Has anyone used any sensors off British sourced vehicles for IAT, CLT, TPS and Narrow Band 02 ?
We have loads of Vauxhall ( owned by GM ) and Ford cars here as well as European makes so I'm assuming some of them will work without modification.
Has anyone any used any sucessfully / got recomendations ?
Is there a MS UK forum I can ask ?
thanks
Which British car sensors will work ?

Re: Which British car sensors will work ?
I'd bet that most of your Vauxhall sensors are "standard GM" sensors.
You can map your own temp sensors, it's no big deal. I'm using a generic VDO coolant temp and a GM intake temp sensor.
Any TPS will work, that's a non-issue. And O2 sensors should all be standard as far as I know.

LBC + Technology = ???
Re: Which British car sensors will work ?
Most any GM family sensor ( incl Vauxhall, SAAB ) will work well, as will the BOSCH units.
Rather small differences and changing the bias resistor will keep them
reasonably accurate in the region you need.
FORD seems to be quite different , will probably need new biasR and recal of the lookup table.

If it is not understood , it will not work!
