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!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
