just thought some of you might be interested in this highly accurage gauge alternative.

 

Very cool, I like that better than gauges, but.....is that in the body of a Gameboy Advance?

 

its a computer that outputs a display through the gamboy advance, one of our engineers thought to use it while we were searching for nice displays to use.

for 75$ (price of a gameboy) you cant get a nicer looking display.

 

do you have to have the newer kind of game boy advance or will the older wide version work too?

 

this one?

 

yeah that is what i have, i think it should work since they are almost the same thing, but i wasnt sure.

 

very key

 

draggin up an old post.. but has anyone actually used the Turbo XS DTEC for boost control with an FD?

It seems like a good option when compared to the Apexi and Greddy items, but would like a real world review/opinion of it

 

they should have waited for the PSP. now that's a high quality screen, probably run multiple applications and view more than one digi-gauge at the same time. but this is a ******* cool concept, i think i'm going to have to nab one too.

 

Well I'm gonna play guinea pig - just bought one this morning.

Will report back once I've got the thing in :P

 

ive got the boost controller in my car, works awesome!



the psp is too big and would be difficult to mount, besides for 79$ the gameboy is the much better choice.

 

except for the fact you have a toy velcro'd yo your supercars dash

 

pwahahah so true

 

FD is a toy

 

That thing is awesome but i could never mount something like that in my car, looks ridiculous. lol

 

looks 50000 times better than an fc controller or an avcr ect.


and it came with the velcro tape, i do plan on changing it out to some regular double sided tape to make it look smoother.

 

You are right that the display looks better than the components you've listed...but I don't even have a boost gauge in view...and I have the stock CD player from 1995.

 

does this do basically what a power FC does ? because if so, then it must be a better buy...

 

How do you change boost? How many settings can you have? What other features does it have?

 

Well I've had mine installed for about a month now.
Boost control is fantastic, and incredibly easy to tune. It's nice being able to set n-psi on the screen, and know that it will hold boost at that point without any spiking (I'm set at 15psi, and it only fluctuates from that by 0.1psi either side of it).

As for mounting it, I have it clipped vertically to one of the center air vents. Easy to add/remove as I desire. However I do think I'll replace my silver gameboy with a black one, just so it doesnt stand out so much

 

i finally got all my additional inputs set up the other day. Ive got injector duty cycle, afr, rpm, map, tps and solenoid duty cycle. Still have to hook up my knock sensor but ive got the light mounted and set up for 8000rpm shifting.

The boost control is amazing and easy as hell to tune. And the datalogging makes tuning my haltech cake

did i mention it even comes with our cars ecu pinout to easily get to the wires.
