PS3 diesel upgrade kit with steam PS32 chain file.

Why not use the PS32 board, we know that works.   If you want to try a diesel board, go for it, not sure that's a configuration that many would have tried.

I have a PS3 diesel kit sitting around so I was curious if it would work. I'm mostly curious how the lighting outputs would be affected. I would think they would be the same, since the PS32 board with 5V or 3V connectors still has the correct lighting outputs when installed in place of a PS2 board. The top board just adapts the PS3 diesel board to 3V or 5V connectors and incandescent bulbs. I just stuck a PS32 board with 5V connectors in a Premier FEF (boiler mounted board). Installed a PS32 steam chain file and the FEF sound file and the lights work perfectly. 

I may have to try it and make sure the board doesn't scramble or something. 

I truthfully have no idea how it will work, but I don't think it'll kill the board trying.

It doubt it will work.  Go for it though and report back G

I'll try and see what happens. I think sound/smoke will work. Big issue would be lighting. No idea what'll happen there.

Lou, How did this project come out?

Curious myself........

I haven't tried it. I traded the diesel kit for a steam kit so I never attempted it.

I ran across something interesting today with a diesel PS3 upgrade kit.  I fired it up for the first time today and oddly out came steam sounds. This is one of many kits I purchased back in 2019/2020 era. So far they have all had Diesel sounds and this makes me wonder about the chain file. Should I just load the sound file I want like before or should I load a specific chain file with the sound file?

I would load the specific chain file and sound file.  For the PS/3 diesel upgrades I always load the specific chain file required.  Even for steam upgrades with the PS32 board, I still load the specific PS32 board chain file for the job.

Thank you John!
