i don't know how smart it is to eliminate your CEL by turning it into a shift light. why don't you choose another light like airbag or something?

 

Buy a Hondata.

or other stand alones

 

.smart idea , dipple. but if ur car goes outa wack dont expect me to carry u around

 

Hondata

 

Why in the hell do you need a shift light? Can you not drive a manual?

My buddy had a z24 and it had a shift light, it pissed me off to no end because everytime the car hit 3000 rpm it would come on. He finally yanked the whole thing out.

Sorry I didn't add any helpful hints just sounds like a idea to me.

 

I remembering reading about this too (pretty sure it was with hondata). The CEL light wouldn't be noticable enough for me. I'd just buy one of those small shift lights and mount it somewhere that you will notice while your eyes are still on the road.

 

You can wire a LED to come on at the same time as the CEL


Pretty noticable to me

That's what I have

 

dont worry. when you get more experience you'll learn to tell by the sound of the engine ~ what rpm you are and then you'll learn to look down at the thing called the tachometer and see how close you are to redline. it all comes in time little grasshopper

 

I have 2 shift lights...one on the hondata using the CEL, and an LED unit mouted to the guage bezel, 1st one comes on at 8,000rpm, second one comes on at 8,600rpm. I use both during drag racing, and only the second one when at an autocross/road course event, it helps quite a bit when you're looking at the road.

here are 3 of the colors offered:



Dimensions: 1" diameter by 3" long
Housing: Flat black painted Polycarbonate tube
Light: 6 high brightness LED's (available in RED, YELLOW, GREEN, ORANGE, and BLUE)
Usable on all ignition systems (distributor, distibutor-less, 2/4/6/8 cylinders)
Adjustable in 100 RPM steps from 500 RPM to 12000 RPM without additional pills or modules

Cost of $50 plus shipping at http://www.harlan-engineering.com/

 

i was thinking the other day, I like to have three extranal LED's.

1. One for vtec engagement.
2. another when secondaries kick in
3. and the third for rpm redline (shift light)

Is this possible? Guys... dont ask why I want this, I'm just wondering if its possible.

 

Of course that's possible.

Here's the instructions for the VTEC light: http://www.hazone.com/hvlight.htm

nice!!! Thanks bud.

But what about a light for when the secondaries kick in? How does that work... is there anything in the stock ECU? What about the Hondata? - let me know

 

Well for the seconadaries you will have to create it yourself as there isn't a how-to on it. If I remember correctly, the valve or soleniod or whatever it is that opens up the butterflies, is operated by a trigger signal from the ecu. So find that wire and use that as a trigger to light your led. Good luck

 

shift when the engine sounds like its gonna blow up!!!!!!
Really, thats a bad idea dude, the engine light is there for a purpose!

 

be like me and keep it real with the autometer monster tach.

monster yellow shift light never let me down.
