Just kidding about the part nine...


So yeah, I was thinking - $250 for a freaking wideband LCD AFR gauge, or maybe something better...

[Jon K]

That's called MegaView - may not look like much to some people, but its pretty f'ing sweet. I finished building it this afternoon and got home and got it going. It scrolls all the informatoin across the VFD. Yes, VFD.. not LCD... this is a vacuum flourescent screen - aka VERY bright and legible! You can read the lettering from well past the back seat, very clear. I am going to make a little panel there in front of the shifter and mount a button. This can be paused at anytime to monitor one variable or more, plus if you want, you can use 2 buttons as increment, decrement to actually tune your VE table etc on the go. Crrraaaaaaaaaaaazy.

I like it.

About 1/2 the cost of a wideband gauge

How much and where? That thing is ****ing amazing

Maybe scram the ashtray and put it there?

[BillionPa]

or put it inside the ashtray compartment!

[Michael999]

just kill the ashtray! the e34 has a crappy ash tray anyways

[BigKriss]

Jon, can you hook up the megasquirt system to the in-car pc and read the sensor values that way? If so why bother with one of these?

[Jon K]

Yes you can - but that means youre driving around with a touch screen logged in that can edit any variable of your car by mistake. Imagine my gf or friends trying to change songs....

Jon,

That onboard computer running XP is pretty sweet and looks clean. Is it practical and useful? What do you use it for?

[Jon K]

Thanks Wjbell-

I use it for MP3, DVD, Xvid movies, GPS, internet, etc.
