Hi All,

My car has a Dash mounted TV and ive got a dvd player too. Does anyone have any documents or knowledge regarding operation of this unit whilst driving? I have the unit angled towards the passenger seat so it doesnt affect my vision but is this OK?

Can the police still fine me for operating it? I know a lot of the new mercs and stuff come with tv dvd sat nav and stock standard on the high models does the same apply?

Watching road runner cartoons burnt from the pc (mpegs) to vcd and watching them in the skybie is awesome :D

If you know a bit in regards to what you can and cant do with a dash mounted TV please post it here.

Thanks

Well mine faces away from the driver so It would be safe (well at least remotely safe) to assume that its OK to operate if its not facing me? Im happy to fang around with and have the passenger watch stuff. I know my girlfriend loves driving me aronud when im watching stuff on it

1)Nothing must be in the way where the wiper blades run along. even stickers. So a big screen is a NO NO.

2) The whole dash is an impact area in a colision. Again nothing must be mounted there.

Hence this is why gauges even on the a pillar is illegal.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
