Just got my Scace 2 in the mail and decided to play with it a little. I have a 3 group EE Linea at home and I got out my tools and installed a stock gicleur in the first group a 0.7mm in the second and a 0.6mm in the third. The pressure gauge on the Linea was reading 9.0bar when the element was off and the pump on. Here are the results for the groups
Group 1 ? 120psi=8.27bar
Group 2 0.7mm 112.5psi=7.75bar
Group 3 0.6mm 110psi=7.58bar
I don't know the size of the stock gicleur but it flows a lot more then the 0.7mm so I would guess 0.9mm. I still have to try with no gicleur and see how accurate the machines gauge is.
As an aside when watching the temp of water during a pre-shot flush, it takes a lot longer for group to get up to temp with the smaller gicleur, which makes sense.
