Well, I know for sure my PCM reports: Speed RPM MAP air flow inj p/w, left and right banks O2 voltage, left and right sensor BLM, left and right Coolant temp IAT TPS run time
And other stuff too.. and ti reports it fast enough I don't see a lag with
all those (and more) on a screen. The communications protocol is more
limited, but the data I want is for sure in there and plenty quick enough
for a display. I've run the car with the laptop going and it's pretty good
(much better than I figured it would be).
This is part of a bigger project/issue.. I really *hate* the RX7 factory
gauges, they are worthless (OPG and temp specifically). I want to replace
all the gauges with ones that work better. The only one giving me trouble
is the fuel level, otherwise it's a matter of stuffing them in the hole.
That IS a problem, because I want 7 things (Speed, RPM, volt, fuel level,
OPG, water temp,oil temp )and I really only have room for 6. I was
considering a combo speedo/tach (Cyberdyne or Dakota Digital), or a digital
numeric speedo and a real analog tach.. but I don't really like either
option. I also considered the FM Shift-I plus VDO speedo, but 7 LED's as
the only tach didn't appeal to me. I minimally have to buy a VDO speedo to
the tune of $120 or so. I figured if I can find a suitable OBD gauge
instead for a slight cost increase, that's an option.. Not sure I am going
to be able to pull off what I want to do, which is new gauges without
pillar or dash pods... I can fit 6 x 2 1/16" + 1 x 3 1/8".. so either the
tach or the speedo has to be a 2 1/16". Speedo would be worthless unless
digital numeric (which I am not a fan of), tach would probably be ok if I
did the Shift-I as well.

I don’t think OBD I will have anything like that. It really doesn’t report
data like OBD II does

Nope, you don't misunderstand, that is OBD 2 but I need an OBD 1 version
tho... which I can't seem to find yet. :(
So, I am looking for an OBD 1 version similar to that. Scangage is cool,
but also OBD2 it seems. So no joy there either.

Am I misunderstanding? It says OBDII

Subject: NMC - OBD-I dashboard device?
Howdy all!
I'm facing having to buy an electronic speedo for the RX7 project, but was
contemplating a OBD dashboard device instead.. any suggestions for an OBD-I
dashboard device? Something like this:
http://tunertools.com/proddetail.asp?prod=DT-DashDAQ
Device would be semipermanent, and may take place of the stock cluster or
be integrated into that opening. I am able to perform he functions via
laptop software, but I am trying to find a way to have a speedo in the car
via the OBD port. No clue what other options are out there, but am open to
suggestions.. so fire away!
