Just wondering if any 2000+ R owners have tried this out. For the price it doesn't seem like a bad deal. BTW its a meter that plugs into OBDII port and reads all factory sensors, I think it displays six readings at a time. Its basically all the gauges you dont want to buy, but should probably should have wrapped up in one.

 

Blitz shipped us one about a month ago and I just started playing with it. Havn't decided weather to keep it or not because it does basically the same thing my palm or laptop can do...

I used it on the track Thursday, and just used the sixfold monitoring system to watch intake temps/water temps.

Its a cool little unit, datalogging is nice, good for people who want to datalog MAP for tuning and dont have access to software or hardware to datalog on a laptop/palm.

The R-VIT is a fully digital monitoring device with 5 different types of digital displaying capabilities (Needle Meter, Ellipse Meter, Bar Graph, Triple Monitor, and Six-fold Monitor). The R-VIT feature peak-hold recording, playback features, that can record and replay up to 99 seconds. Limits can be set in flash and audible warnings to notify the driver of different engine variables, thus reducing the chances of damaging the motor. (R-VIT is featured in a 1/2 Din size)

R-Vit and SBC i-D INFRARED connection: The R-VIT can communicate with the SBC i-D boost controller via INFRARED to operate the speed and tachometer, OPT 1/OPT 2 readings. **The R-VIT can be used on most Japanese Imports 1996 and newer with the on-board diagnosis port. For Nissans 1989-1999, use R-VIT Type II. For Toyota manufactured before 1996, BLITZ will be releasing an R-VIT Type III in the future.

why not a apex rev speed meter?

Go check it out, read up on this one and then you'll understand.

 

I've done some pretty extensive reading on this little unit. I agree with Koala. It's pretty sweet.

 

Installed in my friend's Mitsu Evo 7 GTA in Japan. Nice compact unit with much info
but only thing it didn't show his boost level from the diagnosis port.

 

lots of bling i see

i wish someone would come out with a laptop interface that could support/manage the engine.

with the costs of gauges these days, i would imagine electronic gauges would do just as well as the mechanical counterparts.

that's one of my concerns... Are digi gauges accurate as analog or s reliable??

 

Are you guys talking about mechanical like the kind where you have an aftermarket sensor that you installed, or the kind where a line actually runs right to the gauge (which from my understanding is a bad ideas now-adays)?

I dont see why the accuracy of the stock gauges wouldnt be as good as say an autometer sensor. My friend had a few different ones a while back that he never installed and they looked very basic and simple. This unit is plug-and-play which makes it incedibly apealing to me.

both electronic and mechanical can be as inncacurate depending on build quality. both have to be calibrated right to display the data correctly. for daily driver, i'd def. go wih electrical because in case of failure you don't want to come in contact with oil/coolant or fuel.

another reason to choose electionic is due to peak/hold/warning features.. theres no way you could drive and always stay on top of readings.

 

so it just plugs into your stock ecu or something? id be looking at it for my 240.
looks pretty good, does it show boost or anything like that?

 

Its one thing if your reading O2 sensor for tuning, which must be accurate(ie: wideband sensors), but the RVIT reads all the temps, oil pressure, voltage, etc--which Honda sensors read just as well as any aftermarket sensor. I had a blitz digital booost gauge built into a TT on previous car, and it worked great. To the people with the RVIT, LMK an update in a week or so, Im definatly going to get one if it works as advertised. BTW no boost reading on RVIT, it only reads what your ECU reads.

 

so its plug and play right into your ECU to get all those stats? no running of other crap

 

that sh$t is nice!!

 

Pretty sweet, but hey is that EVO an automatic??

Yes, EVO 7 GTA

Thats what I'm saying. Datalogging ignition timing can be very usefull.

It would have told you any trouble codes the ECU threw right before...Hondas dont have a cam sensor, so there is no warning against slippage of either the intake or exhaust cam gear, which is one bonus of Toyotas, we can detect how much retard/advance the supra is on the intake cam electronically.

 

Where does this unit plug in? Is it into the OBD port beside the fuse panel under the drivers dash?
