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

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!

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.

      Carb issues - E15S

      By GregosM10 · Posted

      Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though.

      By dbm7 · Posted

      The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.
