Has any one used the EMS500 Engine Monitoring System.

Great read about the filter set-up. I prefer to listen to people who actually work in an industry and have proof to back up their claims. There are a hell of a lot of people on here that swear their opinions should be the be all and end all of a subject. Its a good idea to qustion opinions as it is a good way to find the truth! I am buying a d-max within the next 12 months and will definitely be going for an after market filtration system to be used in conjunction with the factory fit. Your article was good news to me.
Agree about the 1HZ motor....

Thanks Bigfish, I hoped that putting both sides of the argument ( before or after the factory filter) in the Blog would be useful to others as well as me in deciding which way to go. Still tweaking suspension parts on the D-Max, that is another Blog on the way. Cheers, Kanga.

Hi Ross,
It is an auto and in the 100 series the auto transmission cooling line also runs through the side of the car radiator and then out to the small transmission cooler, which I guess helps the box warm up on cold mornings. I am thinking that the Engine Safe unit would be great if it monitors engine coolant temp, water levels, the engine block temp and the Auto Transmission as all 3 seem to be tied in together.
I was having a look through a couple of other posts on these units and I think that one of the new Engine Safe EMS models also comes with a battery voltage function as well.
All the posts seem to be positive so far.
So if it can manage to keep an eye on all these functions, I think it might be worth giving one a ago.

If the exit line runs into the radiator heat exchanger first up, then the heat it is carrying, which is very high temp in some situations, is given to the already hard working radiator water cooling system.
My opinion is, if the exit temp is dissipated to atmosphere before it goes into the rad exchanger then the heat doesn't ADD to the engine cooling system and allows it to have the best cooling reserve possible.

With all the gauges it is good if they have alarm settings so you can spend time watching the road, which is recommended.
