After watching shows such as the fast and the furious, during the main race you see the green eclipse has a indash monitor which shows danger to manifold and engine readouts

now i have a indash monitor and i wondered how hard it would be to get software or something to show stats on the screen such as fuel, speed, rpm's etc.

i already have an apexi rsm which does all this , but using a colour monitor im thinkin i could go one step better, has anyone done this yet or know anything about it

thanks

Why not go one better and rig your car up like the kit car in Knight Rider??? Make it have a voice and it can tell you whats happening...

As for the other thing, i'm sure its possible, but if you have an RSM anyway, why bother with the expense

Yep got to watch for danger to your intake manifold it causes your passenger side floor to fall out :P .

34 GTR has a indash monitor for injectors, boost, g-forces ect.

cheers

MOTEC will give you that mate. Hook it up to your screen or Laptop

have u got any more detail about this, like model name or number or something,

im not sayin im gonna do it, depends more on the cost and what i can monitor.

oh yeah and i wanna watch the welds on the intake :lol: :lol: :lol:

The MoTeC can monitor anything you can imagine.

Im sure if you put a temp sensor on the welds, it will monitor those as well :lol:

and because im such i nice person here you go:

CAMP (Computerized Automobile Multi Player) (more)

The HKS CAMP offers drivers the ability to view engine vitals such as RPM, speed, and gas mileage by integrating into a vehicle’s Audio/Video display screen (not included). With the addition of the CAMP Junction box and optional sensors other engine functions can be monitored (boost, pressure and temperature).

Analog Display - The analog display can indicate speed, RPM, gas mileage, fuel consumption and injector opening percentage. The CAMP includes peak data memorization and allows the scale to adjust according to current driving conditions.

Digital Display - The bar graphs along with digital numbers indicate multiple data to simultaneously observe entire vehicle conditions.

Alarm Feature - This allows the user to set a designated limit for each data. CAMP will inform the user by sound and graph if any data passes the limit.

I second the consult software. $100 for a cable, hook it up to your carpc or laptop, and use the free software. This will show you everything the consult cable puts out.

Newkleer is making a new consult software, so I recken it'll be the goods!

    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
    • Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?
    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
