Thread: Engine Saver Low Coolant Sensor/Head Temperature Alarm

Hi Dave I have one of your engine saver's and very happy with it. How about something simular to monitor engine oil pressure, temp. I have been looking at Murpy gauges and will proberly get one but if you could come up with a unit like the engine saver I think you would sell plenty of them?

Funny you should ask that...
I just made a simple monitor for the love of my life, (2000 Ducati 748 Superbike)
It uses a pair of adjustable oil pressure switches linked to hi -intensity led's for idle pressure & running pressure notifications.
Has a fixed temperature alarm led to remind me to switch the fan overide switch on at 82 degrees in traffic and of course a low coolant led.
The idle pressure switch is set 5psi below hot idle pressure (35psi) & the running pressure switch is set 10 psi below normal run pressure (70psi)
I used all led's so I don't need to scan gauges when riding.
My baby is fully protected now.
Is that the sort of thing you have in mind?

Yes EXACTLY

Have you considered the Madman EMS system? It was designed for landys by a landy mechanic

If you design one I will vollenteer to be the test vehicle, Something that would warn us if the bolt on the oil pump falls off or an oil line fails might save a lot of dollars and a lot of suffering!

Hi I have, and I'm wondering about he price and the ease of installing it? I had a look but cant seem to find how many $ ? I like Daves engine saver as it is affordable, reliable and was a 1 hour job to fit. PS Dave if you build one give it a differant alarm sound so we know what bit is broken!

Hi Dave can you please pm me with a price for the tm2 engine saver
