Not much to report, unfortunately.

Bought a house and moved the car, but between renos and work I've had neither the time nor cash to do much.

Space is another issue, as my garage is just an oversized single. Been working on getting it better organized by building shelves and benches, and rid of clutter by selling car parts. When a crate sized hole manifests itself in the garage, I'll get the motor here and hopefully some motivation too

Looks well done as always!

nice.

Thanks guys. Hope to get making some progress soon and do away with the teaser shots.

By the time I get home from work the last box of goodies (throttle body, other misc. parts) should be waiting for me.

Finally got around to uploading a pic of the direct port water-meth nozzles in my intake manifold. One per cylinder.

I wish i went with a windoz OS instead of android. Seems to be better support for the tuning software. What software does the VEMs use for the tuning? A nice fast Windows OS with Android running in VMware would be a nice setup. Best of both worlds. Or a Mac Mini running Windows and Android in VMware!

From my understanding, VEMS is Windows based and uses Android to display gauges/engine parameters. I have a netbook earmarked for this purpose, and will use my phone for gauge duty until I grab a tablet.

Didn't I see this in Fast and the Furious 1?

“This time it ain’t just about being fast.”

That's right along the lines of what I've been planning...

7" or 8" Android tablet and a mount on the passenger side at dash height to use it as nav/music storage/Vems display.

In dash pop out Android or Windoz Computer with a 7 inch touch screen BT keyboard to run all the tuning software and have a gauge for every sensor hooked into the Vems. I got a 350 buck one from china that is kind of half configured for the ACR with MS3.

A small LCD display would look better and be more readable in my opinion.

If you have any suggestions, by all means post them up... I'm just starting to chew on this as a viable option for keeping an eye on the various parameters of my motor.

ya that was photoshop. I imagine you could get 5 smaller displays in there.

Re: While I'm In There... 1990 Coupe quattro Refurb

Mine have a analog to digital board on the back of the displays in the center visor ( I only have 2 ). The replacement boards for the OEM egt sensors have two outputs, one the ECU sees and one to whatever you want. What Standalone are you using for this monster?

Yeah, I recall being suitably impressed by your initial post with this mod... was surprised to see the room for 5 screens on the visor!

I'm using Vems.
