Just wanting to know if there is a device or gadjet you can mount on the dash which connects to the engine ecu somehow to give you the instant fuel consumption and engine stats on a disco V8 Or would it be too depressing watching it sit on 30l/100.
30 L per 100k man thats bad i get around 15L/100k outa an old p76 in the rangie and its runing a holly and a few other goddies and im sorta happy with it tho i cant see you geting a gadget that will give you the L/per k and display it on the dash would be nice tho![]()
From memory the P38 has one on its odometer readout. So do commodores and falcons, try Jaycar
Print out and stick this to your dash...
Instant Fuel Use Reading = Lots
Instant Engine Analysis = Sounds Great
Silicon Chip Magazine have published a car computer project which will give you live fuel consumption (along with lots more info) but it's hardly a project for electronic novices, I'm afraid. You can view the introduction to the article at http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_102510/article.html which will give you some idea of the capability and complexity of the device. To view more you'll need to purchase access to the magazine of course.
