(07-09-2013, 04:06 PM)Purplecomputer im going to need a tester anyway seeing as my car is no longer working.

maybe winmutt can recommend some sensors.

the whole idea is to replace the ashtray like i did with my two gauges but replace those with the LCD screen. the arduino + lcd will take up considerable less space then gauges and should be somehwhat more reliable.

any functions you guys can think of that I should put on this?

Maybe an alarm to warn the driver of high temps or overboost.

Muahhhaha you are literally making exactly what I bought from ZadaTech. Same LCD, boost, EGT, fuel pressure. Has a beeper and LED for overboost and exceeded EGT's. Its out of the car right now, but I am going to reinstall it in the ashtray. The wood on the ashtray will be a false front that can be removed to reveal the LCD gauge installed behind it.

I remember seeing it on your project thread. did it come with sensors and their part numbers? can I ask how much you paid for it? it im able to do it I would like to perhaps sell it.

I am thinking about getting a 3D printer and custom print an ashtray that would hold all the components.

found their site, the sensors they offer are expensive and they are pretty much just standard ones you find anywhere. to make them work I think I would need an amplifier.

Shops will print things for you cheaper than you would think, you shouldn't have any trouble finding prototype shops being to close to NYC

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
