he said the install took him less than 20minutes in his first post. reading is your friend.

TSX 3Pedal

haha...I totally missed that part when I read it.

Thanks man.

TSX420J

WOW looks cool I was actually on kingmotorsports yesterday and was wondering if it was worth getting. Thank you. You made it clear to me now, YES... Well after I do some engine mods that is..

TSX 3Pedal

When you conceal the unit...where do you put it?

All you need to do is unplug the wires from the right side of the unit...right?

dzuy

yea, but does it have a kenny is cool reading on it?

don't worry, it'd probably be pretty low.

:troutslap

CCColtsicehockey

what color would you guys go with I am deciding between red and white.

TSX420J

I thought blue would be cool to match the ambient lighting but white should be hot too since it matches the gauges...

CCColtsicehockey

for some odd reason i had an urge to go with red and i did. thought it would look cool at night in the location I am going to mount it.

Tsx536 please respond to this thread.

I'm awaiting your responses.

Thanks in advance.

Dude, give him a bit. He might be out on a business trip or something. He'll respond when he reads it, I'm sure.

Works great. The a/f ratio reads about .4 lower than my standalone wideband O2 sensor. It's pretty accurate though. The cable is pretty long. YOu should have no problem mounting it there and running the cable down the A pillar.

Tsx536

I got the white display.
Install was quick. 15 min. I have it mounted with double sided tape now. The velcro was making a little noise going over bumps.
The shift light is probably more orange/amber. It's easy to get any color LED you want though. The LED just plugs into a connector.

Tsx536

Since I have have doublesided tape I don't take it off anymore. When I had the velcro I would just put it in the glove compartment and lock it if I'm somewhere ghetto.

Yes. Just unplug the harness on the right side. Very easy.

Tsx536

Nope. Has a Troutslap counter on it though. The reading on your TSX would be through the roof :troutslap

Tsx536

Yep. The business trip = vacation!

Bunch of friends rented a beach house close to the Santa Cruz area. It was a solid 75 degrees Now I'm back in 105 degree weather though


Hope that answers your questions tho 3Pedal. And that's cool that you got one too CCC

TSX420J

Thats cool, sometimes you gotta trust your gut feeling..
I'd like to see it when you get it done.

CCColtsicehockey

its probably cause i really want the red euro R gauges.

CCColtsicehockey

did you read that you have to change a setting for vehichles with a wide band o2 sensor. it talks about it on there website.

TSX 3Pedal

I'm planning to get one of these for my birthday...which is coming up pretty soon.

You say that you got the white display, but in the pics on the first page, the display looks green. Is it just the flash from the camera that is making the display look green?

By the way, do you happen to have any night pics of the unit?

Thanks Tsx536

Black Ninja

Could this possibly be mounted in the sunglasses holder in the ceiling?

Tsx536

Nope, won't fit. I took a look earlier. It's just a little too wide.

Tsx536

Cool man. Happy Birthday

Yeah I got the white, the pics made it look green. I don't have any night pics. I can try to take some if I have time. My schedule has been pretty full lately, so bump this thread and remind me if I start lagging

Black Ninja

So does the white display match your guages at night?

...or would the blue display match better?

nice install -

just wondering if the display was a LCD or a
Vacuum Flourescent Display (VFD)

and if it fades out much in sunlight ?

-

TSX 3Pedal

I think it's a Vacuum Flourescent Display (VFD) from the looks of the pics and the website.

Tsx536

^^ Yeah, I'm not sure myself. You might want to email them and ask.

I can see it fine in all lights though. It hasn't been a problem at all. This is with the white display though. I don't know if the other colors are hard to see in the sun.

OA5599

it does look like a VFD -

i will send them an email and find out for sure.

did anyone purchase this product through clubrsx? if so, do they provide any kind of tracking # ? the only email i have gotten from them is the confirmation of the order...

TSX 3Pedal

I might order it from King Motorsports it's a little cheaper...

Has anyone considered using the R2000 and view the output on your Nav screen?

http://www.kingmotorsports.com/product.asp?product=595

kboosman00

Again nice/imformative write-up.

jmathew34

i did consider this before purchasing the R920, but from what i understood you can only display 2 values at a time per mode...

TSX 3Pedal

BUMP... just a reminder

Anybody know whether the r2000 unit has been updated?? this pic looks like its showing 4 values or is that some cheesy fake pic showing all options at once thats not even possible.

rmpage

It is a LCD.

zener_diode

That is the update. Look at the user manuals. Also, you will need a converter box to
use it with the factory Nav system becuase it is composite output and the factory
Nav screen is RGB input.

I've been shopping around for a while to find the best monitoring gauge. That is how I ended up on this thread.

No one here has tried the Nitrod gauge?

I borrowed my friend’s Nitrod VPM-100G for a week. And I liked it a lot. I was just checking to see if there was anything out there that offered all the same features.

I think I like the VPM-100G better than the R920.

vidgamer

They don't list Acuras (or Hondas) in their compatibility list. Were you able to use the OBD2 port functions? Or only the accelerometer? (If only the accel, would it be cheaper to go with a G-tech?)

If you have a laptop to spare, you can get an OBD2 program & cable, but then it's hard to mount it on your dash. Seriously, if I were doing serious testing, I'd probably go with the laptop approach, but I like the idea of the realtime display mounted right on the dash.

Now it just needs to be set up as a HUD.

tsx_222

I think you misinterpreted the information on their site. The list they have on the site is the list of cars that are not compatible.

tsx_222

Here is what it says on the site:


In the non-compatible vehicles list there are no Hondas or Acuras listed. Meaning that it should work for any 1996 to 2005 models. They say you have to contact them to verify the compatibility if you have an 2006 or up.
