    We will be using map controlled thermostat and would like to have a closed loop coolant temperature regulation, based on a setpoint formed by certain process variables (like environmental temperature, thermal load etc).
    Can Thunder do that? Electrically it can do pwm on the thermostat heater (it's 1 Amp max) without problems, but is there an available control loop to do the actual regulation?

     

    On my setup I use a 3d table to PWM an engine water pump. After a lot of testing I found using the temp output from the radiator and ECT the best way to control the pump. Takes into account out side temp and vechile speed. Would recommend you try that way to control the thermostat. Ive also connected a 2nd Digital output to the same soild state relay as an override. So if I'm at a set TPS or boost range the pump goes to 100%. After a bit of testing during different conditions I can keep the ECT within 2deg in all situations. 

  2. If you are not using a wide band sensor your just wasting your time. Plenty of cheap controllers out there.

    The sensor pic you posted is not the correct sensor for tuning fuel maps.
