Default can a simtek run I/C water spayers?

heres one for you all,
can the simtek ecu on a 95 engine check the tempreture of the intake air flow, and work I/C water sprayers to regulate said tempretures?
thanks,
phil.

Cant help you on that year but my 97 sti with simtek runs auto intercooler spray with a sensor in the intercooler pipework, im pretty sure yours will be fine, best sending a message off to one of the mappers on here.

thats good to know it works on the later ones, looks promising, i did have a sensor in the pipe work, it was connected to the maff plug with 2 wires, any mapper know if it will work to the earlier ecu's, and will it need a mapper to sort it once fitted?

Only wire connected to ecu in maf plug on early car is the maf input and now its air temp input.

ha ha shows im not that good at guessing, when i get sprays fitted and wired up using the correct pinout, will the ecu already work to a set tempreture or does it need programing?

In my base maps I have them setup but your ecu wasnt one of mine so will have to check as if I recall correct I had to load a particular base map to suit this ecu as it had had an altered firmware on it.
