Yes sounds like a plan? What do you think too high would be? Haha very good, hopefully it doesn't come to that lol
-
So what do people recommend as safe operating conditions? oil pressure <= 0.9 bar boost pressure >= 1.3bar water temp >= 100c oil temp ?? not sure what this runs at fuel pressure??
-
When is this running to? Another couple of days or maybe weeks? I wont be able to get one to the end of November or so.
-
I thought it was 28mm that you needed? Bought one a couple of weeks ago and its prob to late to leave back but havent got around to fitting it

Just after seeing your posts there now, sorry. Im only a student developer so im not overly experienced in the whole thing but im in a placement for a year now so hopefully should pick up plenty by the end of that. Good to see I can use you for tips/help lol. The thing is, it isnt hard to add something on to this later on. I've been looking at a boost controller mainly and it doesnt seem to bad and I never even considered a laptimer but I have no need for that as the i never race Had a quick look at the first post of the first one there and I can tell I&a

Is it just me or does anybody else think these events are serious dear to take part in? Or could somebody explain to me why its so dear?

So do you think roof interior light isn't working because of the earth? That's fine I will check that just to be sure. Do you know what the box is down in the drivers footwell where the leads seem to go from the door sensors? Is this the central locking unit? I found a earth down in there that was pretty rough but could only clean it up a bit. The clock also resets its time everytime I get into the car and the backlight in it is very very faint.
-
Has anybody got any diagrams or a loom to follow where the wires from these sensors go. As far as I can see the door one goes into what looks to be a control box in just below the drivers steering wheel area. Any tips or pictures would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

That is always a option to set the bar a bit higher its no more of a hassle to be honest, but the limit is going to be the sensors at the minute. The oil pressure and fuel pressure just goes up to 80psi but suppose too high isnt overly a bad thing either. Boost pressure only goes up to 36psi iirc but it should never be that high but it gives plenty of extra room for the bar to go up to at the end. Im not really sure how the whole thing is going to work at the minute but id say your idea of it flicking screen to the one that is out of threshold is a good idea and will be pretty simple to imp

Aye I've got that starter kit so it should help get it setup outside the car then If it goes I will get it put onto a more permanent board. Had a quick look at it there earlier and its handy enough by the looks of it. I will keep this thread updated with whatever code I write so as people can either copy it or give me some pointers on it. Heres how the boost gauge is going to look while it is running, hopefully lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-laLAwmfQ-A

So I have started a new little project where i'm going to replace the standard dash clock with a small screen that will display information about the engine eg fuel pressure, boost pressure, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure etc but if it all works out i'm going to update it to maybe work as at wideband, boost controller and hopefully a wee motor to adjust the stiffness of the coilover. I started a new thread for it because I feel it will be helpful to other people who might want to copy it and like me dont want alot of gauges about the car. Arduino Engine Monitoring System
-
Sounds good, I will most likely be coming to you as Im not too good with the whole wiring side of things. Im completely new to this whole thing. I do a bit of coding but not in C++ so it will also be a challenge. But i'm looking forward to it, this plan is to fit it to replace the standard clock.k.
-
So the plan for the screen is a layout like this, This is the oil Screen, it will include the oil temp and pressure. It will also have a bar at the bottom which will change following the oil pressure which will be easier to read than the number changing. __________________________ | Oil temp 90C pressure 3.1 bar | | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| | |_________________________| The next will be water, this will display the temperature of the water aswell it will also include the bar at the bottom
-
Have you anymore details on this?
-
Has anybody any solutions to a sandwich plate for the oil filter housing so as I can fit my oil pressure and temp sensors? I want to keep it as cheap as possible because this is starting to cost alot already.
-
So far I have bought two 80 psi pressure sensors, I hope to use these for fuel and oil pressure. I just hope that they work because they are £20 a sensor. I thought 80 psi was enough as oil and fuel pressure shouldn't really be going over 5.5 bar. I have also bought a 20-240 kpa Pressure sensor, this will give me a range from -11.8 to 21.3 psi when you factor in atmospheric pressure. For the arduino I bought a starter kit at £40 which included the screen, buttons, resistors etc but I have decided to go for the Mega 2560 to control the whole thing. I have also got the idea of been a

I am going to create a wee project where I will be able to monitor how the engine is running. I am going to be monitoring at the minute, boost pressure, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp and water temp. This is all going to be displayed on a small screen with a button to be able to flick over to another screen to see a different pressure. Just thought I would update this here as it may be useful to some people who are looking to monitor all this information in one place without having piles of gauges all over the car. I have seen some DIY's about fitting a wide band so this will be o

The roof light earth is on just the chassis so that rules that one out. Id be happy to strip the dash and whatever if somebody give me a idea where and what to look for but i dont really have a clue at the minute
-
Few questions here, 1. Currently the backlight in my clock doesnt work but you can still see the time some times when there is light on it, is that just a matter of replacing the clock? 2. The sensor for sensing the door is opened doesnt seem to work as the light on the dash doesnt come on, I took apart the sensor and fixed it but doesnt seem to make any difference. I dont know if im measuring it right but im getting roughly 0.3v on the red wire running towards this, any idea's? 3. The light on the roof doesnt seem to work either, from what I gather the two wires on the roof going

Sorry for all the pictures and what use is a progress thread without pictures, also today I was pricing up a livesports spoiler, livesports wings and a varis bumper. I think I will be buying these in the future as they would completely change the look of the car. Decided to go for some bonnet raisers in 23mm in a silver colour because simply red was too dear lol Also seen in another thread that they removed the matting under the bonnet scoop so decided to do that aswell, need to give the whole engine bay a real good clean but I will probably leave that to winter. ]

Got myself two Ep3 type r seats of Alex from the site. Have to say thanks to him because he was more than understanding about that shite courier so thanks. Will get them fitted on monday when I get back home
