This thing arrived tonight and after some fiddling with the update (v2.4beta9) and loading the mazda profile found on the msd forums, i was finally able to adjust atleast the primary monitor screen and upload it to the DH. For a decade i had an Apexi S-AFC in my car and for several years i also had an Apexi Power FC with it's commander, so i was used to having parameter monitoring in-cabin. I decided i'd like to see RPM, Vacuum/Boost, water temp and vehicle speed to start.
Here are some pics of it installed. I used a left over Apexi AVC-R stand to mount the DH in a very convenient place. There is a great spot because steering wheel adjustment is barely affected throughout it's adjustment range.
- that damn scratch is a mystery to me. i noticed it today while driving, ugh!
In my first couple logs, i am surprised to notice that my car makes atleast 18psi at full song, and at times reaches 20. i am curious if that is pre IC or post IC...
here is a hosted zip folder of everything that was in my data folder for the DH utility- i just realized i have FTP space with comcast so it might not work - ftp://builthatch609@upload.comcast.net/builthatch datalog 1.zip
i still have to figure out why on the datalogs the TPS is labeled as 'relative TPS' and never seems to go much more than 60% or so at the most; gotta find the real TPS configuration.
I'd like to see if there is an on screen instant peak hold feature, sometime where i can just press a button and get the highest values for that trip in each monitoring position.
all in all i am very happy with this item, and i'm sure down the line it'll be come more and more handy. the main thing for me was being able to check boost w/o adding a gauge.
