Andy asked me to do a quick review of my Greddy intelligent informeter. (non touch)

It displays some of the info available through the OBD2 port under the drivers side kick panel and remains plugged into it. I mounted mine in the cubby hole in the pov pack "couldnt afford a tv".

It can display pie graphs, needle and numerical data of various types, of course most or the timing and injector data isn't accurate on my car as the emanage is changing it after this.

I would recommend this for logging all aspects of the car, but it is discontinued now,(replaced by the touch version) hence the cheap $290 price I paid for a new one. Touch has a lot more options too, so ive read, like resetting cel's etc. as well as a larger screen.

I think it displays about 15 different things like injector duty and cool crap like that. Different cars show different data. This one displays the dtc but doesnt reset it like the touch apparently does.

Thats exactly why I bought it. Ive pushed the motor a bit and I want info on how its handling it before I crank it further. Dont want to find the limit of these engines just yet as I havent got the funds for the 3.5 block yet. Hopefully cooling the engine helps with oil and piston temps.

Dyno day at RE customs on Saturday if I can make it, same dyno I usually run on so it should give me a good indication which way im heading with the tune.

Do you know if the touch can display error codes/descriptions (I am presuming that one cannot)?

They both can.

that was on my "to get" list.. but a powerFC is above it atm. :blush:

Won't work with PFC, only stock ECU(or variants). PFC hand controller does a similar job.

I have one too. A touch might be crap to use when mounted behind the wheel due to lack of tacticle feel when flicking through screens?

I'm now waiting for a non-touch version to show up from ImportMonster...

For $240 shipped the nerd within couldn't say no.

the later Itouch outputs a signal......if you have a screen in your car you would be able to hook it up.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
