Blitz R-vit

[Race__24]

Just wondering if anyone has one instatted in any car, but particularly a RS4 Stagea.

I've got a few questions

1. How many press/temp sensors can you add?

2. Does it come with any pressure sensors or anything standard?

3. What exactly does it display strait out of the box?

4. I basically want to display, oil press, water temp, boost pressure, knock. Is this possible with this unit, or is there a better option?

I got a Blitz r-vit TypeII in my r32 skyline.

It plugs into the consult port near the fuses.

It only shows ECU details.

Doesnt have any external sensors, only reads ecu information. (no different to plugging a laptop with consult cable)

Displays all sensors which the ecu reads;

water temp, afm voltage, o2 voltage, injector duty cycle, ignition timing, battery voltage, speed, rpm

In regards to question 4, you are after a single unit which can display external sensors for water temp, oil press, boost press etc.

Only option ive found on the internet is Defi Link - http://www.nengun.com/defi/link-display

Although after buying all the sensors etc, it will set you back close to $1k

yeah, was thinking that, might just go with guages, I just thought the single unit would be easier to fit in as all the din's are already taken up. I'll have to search a bit more.

there is also an HKS camp and camp 2. both great units. require an external display however, and can plug in many sensors etc

[Race__24]

Well I can use the TV screen to display stuff on

non-touch informeter FTW

So does it display knock values? I know the computer sees them but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

A Blitz unit looks like the pick of the ones on nengun for me. The Blitz MMD might be a goer with the boost sensor, included. Not sure on the differences between all the different units. The MMD with another pressure sensor would probably do the trick.

I'd go ask at my local supplier, but that's AutoBahn, they wouldn't have a clue.

Why the hell didn't the stag come with an oil pressure guage anyway!!! It doesn't already have a sensor does it?

there was a guy on here called newKleer or something like that

he made a 4 chan temp monitor - have a search .. looked pretty good

only shows ignition timing degree value thats all.

Also, the blitz r-vit only works on standard ecu's. If you have a powerFC it wont work.

If you're using a standard ecu, they have knock protection anyways and will switch to safe map if anything goes wrong.

The blitz r-vit also works with chipped standard ecu's such as nistune (where you can tune the knock map to protect car etc)

Else the powerfc, i believe, shows knock reading and flashing light but thats all you get. No safe map switching as standard ecu

that was mearcat. i think thread for it is still in group buy forum, probably closed by now.

nope, consult doesnt give u knock reading, neither does it have oil temp or oil pressure or boost.

I've got an Emanage, not sure what sort of knock protection it has. Are there any tricky guage mounting options for a stagea with a factory tv setup?

you can get 3 guage pods that sit ontop of the dash above the centre vent that look pretty nice

i've also got some guages here if you're looking for some

[pyro-ns]

the mrs and i are highly interested in gauge mounting position too mate. if yu come up with something that isn't obtrusive, doesn't take away a vent, doesn't block the clock and is still easy enough to see whilst driving, let me know, lol. i'll keep looking and return the favour if you want how many gauges are you looking at having and what size faces?

[M I K E]

you can also get guage plates that mount where the passenger side airbag is, fairly popular in japan but i wouldn't recommend it. you can always mount the guages in the glove box, leave it open when you want to see them and keep it closed when you don't want anyone else too

[pyro-ns]

haha, i could see the passenger airbag thing being pretty disasterous

so far we're thinking 1 near the a pillar, 2 in the ash tray (not quite too sure how we're gonna achieve that mean feat, but we'll see how we go) and the 4th one in the glove box... still early days yet though. noone makes cars to hold gauges!

[Race__24]

What guages heve you got MIKE?

I was thinking about making up a panel that covers the ash tray and cig lighter to take 3 or 4 52-60mm guages. Then wire a cig lighter plug into the centre consol. I want atleast 2 guages, oil press and boost. If i can fit more in I'll also put in a oil temp and water temp.

If i could wire a switch between 3 sensors I'd have the temp guage so it can display water, oil and trans temps. Not sure if it's possible, but I don't see why not

[Race__24]

Mike?

[M I K E]

60mm oil pressure, 52mm oil temp, 52mm water temp and 52mm fuel pressure. all electric and never been used, the fuel pressure is a full sweep guage too (cost me more money to buy lol)

[M I K E]

should also add that the 3x52mm guages are in a single din panel thingo and the 60mm guage is in a greddy a-pillar mount ready to be fitted

[Race__24]

If I was to get something made up, to hold guages in the area below the din panels, over the cig lighter and ash tray, would people be interested in getting one also?

What i'm planning is to make up a mould to fit the area perfectly. Then lay in a few layers of carbon fibre, once it's set I'll trim them up. If a few people would like them, or i couldn't get it looking good, I'd get the carbon fibre work done professionally. But by machining up a nice mould it should make things much easier either way.
