Is there a way to put a boost controller on my indash flip out touch screen?

Anyone know of anyone who has done this or if its even possible??

 

Yea, hunt down the design crew of the fast and the furious...
Its possible, but you would need to find someone with some serious programming abilities..

 

damnit! you beat me to it

 

cool idea tho . the eboost controller i found costs 500 anyway. lol so since the hardwre is already there it may not be too bad.

 

Warning! you just blew the welds on your intake manifold!

 

Yeah that happen'd more than twice now!

 

I dunno bout you guys, but my diamond plate floorboard fell off doing a 9 second, tire spinnin wheel stand..

 

did you use "NOS, two of them" to make the diamond plated floorboard fall off?

 

What? Next thing you know he'll be injecting propane and N2O on top of 136#s of boost Oh wait a minute, they do that in the diesel world

 

"Got enough NAWS to blow himself up!"

 

your best bet is to take a profec, and try and rig up some kind of flip screen motor setup.... but then you wont really be adding it to your current touch screen....

You can run a computer inside your car, hook that up to an AEM EMS, and hook the output up to your DVD player, then use your DVD player to control boost, nitrous, datalog, tune, etc, etc.

 

Eh, propane is for pussies.. Im pushin 600 hp to the wheels with only 48 psi of boost.. All on #2 diesel baby...
And i only used one big 75lbs bottle.. Two bottles would have been to conspicuos on that very well lit illegal drag strip in the middle of LA.. Woulda scared too many of my g-force mac daddy mexican homies away with that amount of power. NAWS is a dangerous thing man- you only live your life a quarter mile at a time, you dont wanna screw that up..

 

lol! PM me your setup! I'm seriously thinking there will be a diesel sport truck in my future, and not a full sized one either

 

You guys joke but this got me thinking

I am a controls engineer and this type of interface is a small part of what I do... I had some salesmen bring lunch and a presentation recently that included some very small color tft touch screens (HMIs) WITH imbedded I/O. There are scaled mixed dig/analog models available as well in as small as 4" and in 2" increments right on up to large-by-huge. With a DC2DC converter, their 24V supply is covered. These things were fairly cheap too (as far as automation hardware goes) and included the logic and interface developement environment. I want to say that the smallest models were available for around $500. There are quite a few things you could do with this, especiallly with the available I/O... It could completely control and monitor a nitrous setup for example as well as the aforementioned application. If I can find enough justification for it I'm going to look into it myself. This type of prgramming, even the logic side is very high-level, it will be very easy for anyone who does this kind of thing to hit the ground running.

There have to be some other controls guys or general EEs around this site, right?

 

As a matter of fact.... just doing a quickie I found this controller and analog expansion module that could add a TON of control options .... monitor A/F in real time (with wideband o2), turn on your meth at a certain psi, etc and 3 other analog sources like TPS for instance.... (nitrous ON at @....) control the on(s) and off(s) of literally anything you wanted....

Although as I said, the stuff I was shown at work was much more affordable than automation direct...

 

LMAO... did it blow through your floor panel???

 

Ha Ha

The fastest DSM uses a Hallman manual boost controller.....

I use a DIY manual I saw in plans on autospeed.com that the author uses on a skyline...

I also use a simple procomp liquid filled mechanical boost gauge.. No indeglow or other nonsense. No huge wing. No fart can......

 

Most of these guys have siphoned way too much gas. Sounds like you know your stuff.

 

As I put my LS2GTO together, I have ordered a wideband commander, looking at boost gauges; need computer tuning; working on the stereo....

...which has led me to believe we need to develop a car-pc that can do it all: monitor afr, boost, timing/kr/all other parameters from the OBDII port [like the aeroforce gauges], audio/video system, nav [if that's your cup of tea], and, of course HPTuners or similar software. Boost/methanol injection/N2O/fuel pump voltage boost/etc could all be controlled here => drive & log => retune => easy feedback/monitoring/adjustment.

So...LET'S GET WORKING ON THIS!!!
