After watching that if this had been available when I bought my WPS I could have saved myself a good few hundred quid. As far as the quick release connector is concerned you should be able to identify the type and get a link pipe / pipes made to couple to your existing adapters. I already owned an AST diesel compression kit and fuel pressure test kit. Pico sell a link pipe to convert their Forster 2 connector to this. As for the difference in your tail pipe waveforms, if you shorten the pipe on the delta sensor I think you’ll see the M’s Once again another great video full of great info. Keep em coming fella!
They bought a PICO WPX .. Opened it up and seen what sensors they was using .. Found those sensors and bam.... Cheaper pressure transducer set up lol .. Looks good I think I'll pick one up
Have you tried to measure diesel return flow (leakback), or any other fuel related pressure tests to see if it works? If it does, it will be a viable option over the WPS500.
Hi dave - thx for your vids, can you please tell me/us wich overlay software you have used in this video, ist that "TDC 2 - Piston Position Charts" from the driveabilityguys ??
Very good dave and comprehensive as always. I was iching for you to have read out the peak compression value of the cylinder in old school psi from the pico screen. Then carry out a compression test of that cylinder with a analogue gauge to compare the readings for accuracy.
i do not think the comparison test would be valid as a manual gauge shows pressure built up as there is a schrader check valve whereas this type of testing needs to be unchecked
👍very good video. It's on the top of the list, of my next tool.... even if it's not very good product for oil and fuel (which I think it's not necessary to use it on that fluids),you can use it in a lot of other diagnostic cases,to help you out. Thanks for the awesome video.
I was wondering what it would like on a pico.. Looks very nice. I have tried it on the mp408... Filtering is needed..but unavailable. To much noise..😞 Then i tried on the 1008c.. Alot cleaner image.😳.. Thanks for showing dave. im still experimenting also.. Only tried on 3 kias so far.. Need to try on other makes. Take care.
@@JLsAutoSolution Completely agree. I just wanted to make sure you knew that there was a filtering option. Do you still think is worth getting this pressure transducer for the mp408 based on its price? I always wanted to get it, but was never sure of how well it worked.
Hi really interesting video ive got pressure senser and a home made box ive copied off one of your videos was thinking ive got a scrapped diesel engine could I use the common rail pressure senser and use it on vantage for 5000psi testing would u know?
Hey Dave, I saw this on aliexpress a while ago and I have been waiting for some one to take the plunge before I got one, it looks good especially for the price, thanks for your time, have you considered doing a video on in cylinder analysis?
Couple of questions. Has any one found a better solution to the couplers on this to make it more universal with a range of other kits And second has this been tested for use with fluids yet?
Great video. Wonder do you think the response time would be as good on a V8 during running snap throttle. Also just curious where you got that overlay.
Would be really interesting to see what sensor they are using inside it, we might be able to make our own using the same sensor for a much lower price ( although it would only give the 1st range)
Looks like a nice tool Dave! Did you ever figure out what the CAP LED was for since I didn't see anything about it in the user manual that you showed? Have a great day!
Great video Sir. Definitely an odd coupler, i took the quick connect off thinking i would just swap it out with a common 1/4 pipe buttt the threaded end is some odd size that appears to be a 14mm X 1.0 or 27 fine thread. I couldn't find either one so i took the nipple of the cheap ( super soft) hose it came with and put it on a spare ( stiffer )snap on.
@@davesterl Yes, i cut it off then just trimmed off what was left. It has a barb on it so i just cut the one of the old SA hose and put it together. As i'm sure you've noticed the hose it comes with is pretty cheap and very soft compared to a quality compression hose. The cheap Amazon compression kits have the exact same hose and fitting. They're only about 20 so i bought one ( figured i could use it on intake captures) and did a back to back and there was some difference in the waveform.
As usual i done things arse over tit,bought this,'then' looked at this video review! with baited breath!! :-)Managed to sneak one of these for £220 incl post from China,seems to do the job well enough,can't wait till it arrives.
Aye , i'm happy with the captures on the two ranges i tried. Just need to buy a battery and the info i showed says not to power it up from the usb with no battery inside it
Lol.....I knew it was just a matter of time before the China bay would copy the wps transducer.......anyway I know now where to get a cheaper copy of my wps

I HOPE TO SEE MANY MORE TESTING WITH THIS TOOL,,, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME !!!!!!!!!!GOOD ONE
Thanks for this, mate. I was looking all over for a more affordable option to the WPS and now I have one.
👍👍 I was waiting to see this tool in action. Now my shopping list just got longer🤦♂️👍

I think as much as I like my wps if this had been available i would have brought this that's a fair saving. Good video as normal thanks Dave
Cheers Andrew
thanks for the video, great tools that I wanted to buy thanks for the demo
Glad it was helpful!

It looks a good alternative to other makes. Good demonstration Dave 👍
Cheers Matt
Thanks Dave, just got one and its bloody gR8
Dave, did you create custom probe for the crankcase pressure test?

nice one Dave ive bin looking at this tool looks good for the money cheers hopefully you will posting some more videos using it ...thanks again
Yes Robert, hope so
How much did this cost?
And where can I purchase one for myself?

Are you saying the mp408 doesnt have a noise filter?
@@juanportillo2201 no.. There is filtering.. But it diesnt work all the time.. Its a software issue.

Nice Dave. I was just looking into making something to do in cylinder. I think this is my answer.What was the story with the battery?
Need to buy an 18650 separately
@@davesterl perfect. Thanks for your time.

I did consider doing an analysis video but it would be very long and there are loads already on youtube
Couple of questions.

Mine came in with no battery haha lol

I wonder how it handles liquids (fuel oil coolant). As expensive as the Pico seems I would rather support them than bolster the chinese economy.
No Problems, buy a Pico then
Very interesting Davy.
No bother, Leonard
@@davesterl I've been watching some of the videos. There'll all very well done and a useful reference. So keep up the good work.

Looks like a decent piece of kit Dave. Bit of a learning curve to waveform interpretation when things are not quite kosher. 👍
aye ian, i was pleasantly surprised by it. Interpretation is another thing for sure
Thanks for the video
Will this work on snap on scopes
works on anything that will display voltage over time
Thanks looks like I'll be getting it then
i think it big test will be its longevity

0 info on where you got it. No help at all
Ever heard of google? Do you want everthing handed to you on a plate?
