Vari-Cool Digital Progressive Controller

I searched

Vari-cool
Progressive Controller
Digital Controller
Coolingmist Controller

Nothing came up..

Does anyone have this for their Injection system? I was looking at Coolinmist.com at M15 injectors and stumbled across this controller. I noticed Enginerunup.com has the same controller for $199. I want it. Probably going to buy tonight, but I'm hopeing somone here has it and can tell me a little more about it then what is listed here or here.

Right now I'm just running a 150psi meth kit with single M7.

Thanks guys.

That is an excellent site and resource for info on injection systems. I'm going to buy their controller/150 combo for $450 and delay cams instead. Thanks for posting this.

After looking at it a little closer, it has a boost input and/or 0-5volt input, but no feedback. It doesn't look as if it is possible to log any functions of this into DSMlink.. It would seem that by cross referencing the boost points from DSMlink and this controller software one could overlap the data in excel.

I think I'm going to waist my $ and try it. I downloaded the manual and software (useless without the controller). I like the fact you can set the 0-5v or boost port as the primary or secondary activation key. Like turn pump on at 10psi but only over 75% voltage (tps). It also seems as if you can control the pump output from 25% upto 100%, eliminating the need for different injectors, which is great because I'm on my third. So that means I could just go with the M15 and select the pump output pressure for my a desired cc's at any time and not have to swap M7's with M10's or M15..

I wonder if it would be possible to get 2 of these controllers and having one control H2O and having the other control Methanoll. That would allow me to very the percentages of H20/meth I inject on the fly at the racetrack withough needing dump out the tanks.... I have a spare 150psi pump laying in a box some where. All I would need is a standard 5box relay, another 1 gallon tank and some more lines. Hummmm. I'm going to look around a little more...

So how did it go for you? I went ahead and bought the Coolingmist Standard Trunkmount Kit, with optional dual nozzle setup using M3 injectors. I can't wait to install it on Friday. I can always add the vari-cool controller later.

Btw, to anyone who is looking for a kit, Coolingmist has an awesome deal right now on the kit I bought, selling it for $300 -- you have to check their ebay ads or call and ask for it. The site shows the full price. It's an awesome deal because their kit comes with the 1.5 gal tank with integrated pump and everything mounted, just run power / ground / tubing / tap nozzles, and thats it. Plug and play. Dual nozzle was an extra $30, so I paid $350 shipped!

Dave at cooling mist has the 2nd best customer service I've ever encounterd. Second to Tom & Dave at ECMtuning (dsmlink). I can't tell you how much I appricate this willingness to help a guy out. I went throught 2 pump failers and a boost switch last year and he replaced everthing at ZERO charge, upgraded me to quick release fitting with nothing more then the shipping charge to get it here. The guy is ontop of his game. Just out of principal I'd never go anywhere else for my injection system maitnence. He may be $10-20 more then Enginerunup, but that extra $ is well worth the 10:30pm cellphone calls he takes when I have a problem at the track..

I havn't bought the Digital progressive contoller yet. I held off untill I install my Brian Crower sprins/retainers/272 & APR's. I talked to Dave for about 40 minuets about the controller. I'm excited about it, he's coming out with another add-on to the controller around Febuary that will do Wideband tracking, alot like the MAFT Gen 2 does. I'm planing on picking up both in a couple months.

Yeah funny you mention that, I had a good experience with Dave at coolingmist. Responded lightning fast to email. In fact, I was about to order the enginerunup kit, but their site is all buggy and won't work right, and their email response was slow. So I checked out coolingmist instead and saw that awesome deal and simpler install. Enginerunup finally got back to me today and apparently they are overhauling their website. They charge $130 for the pump-in-tank alone! Coolingmist is the way to go imo.

I went dual M3 for combined M6 output. Dave said that outputs 4 gal/hr which he said was plenty. I read a lot of posts here with people talking dual M7 and M12, etc...I can't believe they're running so much output. Dave said he's sold 100s of kits and lots of people end up downgrading to much smaller because too much water bogs the engine down. I guess I can believe it since some displacement is given up by the added mass. So I felt dual M3 would be a good compromise.

And yeah, dsmlink service is great. Thomas in particular. I'm going to be putting in dsmlink, my injection kit, and 272 BCs the same day. I better see some gains!
