Andrew Dent Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Just got hold of a 2nd hand Stack ST8130 off an R500. The manual says to try the thing out of the car to find out how it all works. I agree with that. But before I send Stack £100 for their fancy sensors, does anyone know if the Caterham sensors will work with the Stack?

F355GTS Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Andrew you'll get the wrong readings of water and oil temp senders as the resistance is different, also the Oil pressure sender needs to be the VDO type as supplied by Stack! BTW Caterham sell them for the same price as Stack Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Try and find a source that gets you directly to VDO. Stack claim to "calibrate" the sensors, which isn't worth the extra IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I've got VDO sensors on my Motec dash. The sensors were 35 quid a shout from the guy who supplied the motec, Steve at GWR Motorsport in Swindon, 01793 527373, top bloke. I naively thought the stack sensors must be something special as they charge 3 times this. Blatant motec plug again...... of course with the motec you can use any sensor and if you can be bothered enter a calibration curve yourself. I borrowed a £5k calibrator from work and did the 2 temps and 2 pressures to relieve a cold boring evening last winter. Made about 2 degs and nearly 5 psi difference though.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted January 8, 2003 Support Team Share Posted January 8, 2003 Stack oil temperature sensor is £50 compared with about £7 for the Caterham one. Sadly the Caterham one won't work with the Stack. Don't know the cost for the others though. Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
