If you do get the Zeitronix WB system. It offers "Complex Alarms" which you can set your self. We do have a interface module so the Zeitronix can communicate with the DME running V-FLEX (or the latest V-MAF+ which is the standard MAF now). When the Zeitronix triggers a Alarm the DME will handle the "shutdown to save your engine".

i emailed mike about the motor, and he is pretty sure it was detination.
The condition of the pistons indicated there was detonation. There was pitting on the top of the piston, the thermal barrier coating was almost completely blown off. Detonation will fracture the coating. The crack in the cylinder wall tells us the same thing, detonation. That can come from an engine being too lean, but it will also happen with too much timing for the quality of the fuel.
im pretty sure it wasnt too lean or too rich...i was watching my AFRs like a hawk.
and it was pretty well dead on to what john says for correct AFRs. which says alot about how close the vitesse gets you right out of the box!

I'm familiar with the Zeitronix. I'm not aware of any other WB offering complex alarms with external trigger. That doesn't mean they don't exist, I'm just not aware of any.
The interface module we offer is strictly for the Zeitronix.

Our Website is a bit out of date and doesn't list misc. parts as this is not the market we are after.
For pricing check the Zeitronix website, many option to chose from. The interface module to the DME we only offer.

Good point Carlege.
To add, the Complex Alarms were added maybe 2 years ago. Earlier Zeitronix unit did not have it.. Check the Zeitronix website for more information.
Since older Zeitronix systems do not have the complex alarms and to eliminate any possible mismatch; we only supply the Zeitronix-to-VFLEX interface module with the Zeitronix systems we sell.
