if anyone has seen the first fast and furious then they know what im talking about, during the first street race the main character had his laptop in his ricer and on the screen showed all the information the computer in the car has i.e. manifold pressure, fuel pressure ect... does anybody know where i can get the cable/program so i can do this in my car? i know its probably outdated but i think its cool and i def wanna do this

 

LOL gotta love hollywood

 

the only thing i could find on google was sumtin for an rv...but if u can do it with an rv why not just our cars? ill keep lookin but ive spent close to half-an-hour on it

 

Chris, I don't know his screen name (maybe Cort does) but a guy who's a member of MonteSS has a set up like this in his '86 SS. He showed it to me at the '07 Montes@MIS event and I saw him again at the '07 Monte Nats in june.

 

heres an option

just hooks up to the DLC. it'll display 4 gauges at once digitally, but because our cars dont monitor fuel pressure it wont give a reading on that. honestly fuel pressure seems like it would be pretty boring to watch, only use would be if your fuel pump died you would know whats going on right away, or if you were making so much power the pump couldnt keep up causing a drop in pressure.

 

ty for that but no i dont want that small display and just doesnt have the effect of what im looking for. rj d00d im gonna go hunting for this feller if he has what im looking for then yeah ill goto the ends of the earth. cos ima get the car back tomorrow bigger and badder then ever and this time im gonna keep my eye on everything

haha wow those are pretty cool but no thats not it, you actually use your laptop with windows and they have a usb-obd2 cable and a program that pulls up on the laptp that shows maf sensor info, tach, spedo, ect.... its old im sure but man i think it would be so cool

 

I think I remember seeing something similar to what you're talking about on one of the shows on Spike TV's Powerblock. Horsepower TV I think. But it was part of a full size dyno. They had a Chevelle (I think) strapped onto the dyno, and had a laptop in the car with them showing all the info in real time. But it was connected to the dyno outside of the car.

I'm suspecting the movie had a program made up to appear like it was connected to the car, but really wasn't. Probably just running a program displaying b.s. info. If such a program does exist, would a dealer's service department have it maybe?

 

well i went through a sponsor thru my car club homepage and they have it, costs 500 bucks but they have the program and cable and it even lets you program your pcm into a fuel mileage saver mode or a full on racing mode or however you want it. the whole 9 yards :-D now time to save up
