Talking Just fitted a Blitz R-Vit,Pics now added

I'd highly recomend one of these data moniters,you can view pretty much everything your ecu moniters,bit like a s.e.c.s. but looks nicer and has graphical displays

Paul does it show up what boost you're pushing and oil temperature? I take it you've fitted it to an RB5 yeah?

Also do you know whether it will display ECU fault codes?

Right i better answer a few questions lol
I haven't took any pics yet but i'll do some asap.
It does display boost pressure,not oil temp tho
Yep it's fitted in an RB5,i mounted it on the bottom left hand corner of the dash pod,over that little square vent thing
I wired it in with the cigarette lighter adaptor that came with it and just tucked the wire away,it looks quite tidy i think.

Does this mean you have a proper instruction manual for it?
I ordered one in english from blitz uk and its only 6 pages long and doesn't tell me anything about it that i hadn't already worked out for myself.The japanese instruction book is about 30 pages and has loads of info in it,shame i can't read it lol

P1doc mine displays the following :

Revs
Throttle position
Speed
Inlet manifold pressure (boost)
injector pulse
Ignition timing
a/f-c... air fuel??
gear
4wd
o2
wg1
and some others

You can set warning parameters with an alarm sounding if you go over them,it holds peak figures and you can record data whilst driving like on the defi's and then play it back.

Hope that helps,theres a few things i've missed but it's good

And you get to keep the centre pod compartment thing.

Off the same bloke that i got the R-Vit,it's a blitz racing gauge 60mm,the pod was already in the car when i bought it,i think scooby mania sell them or try power engineering,the pod is for a 52mm gauge tho,i had to make the hole bigger for the blitz gauge. Only about £40 i think,i got the gauge for £60.
