Turbo Engine Monitoring Display - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I’m thinking of getting an engine management system in the car to monitor everything . . . What’s the most popular and easiest to program? Motec, DFI, Haltech, Apex, Greddy, HKS or Apex system . . . and should I use their own display or get a Stack Display?

What mods have you done? What is your budget? Who is going to tune this?

My budget has no limits. I haven't done any modification at all. I just want to be able to monitor the following:

Turbo Boost
Exhaust Temperature
Oil Temperature
Oil Pressure
Air to fuel Ratio

I'm looking for something user friendly. If I have to, I'll go to a mechanic to get it mounted.

More info on your Celica would be nice.

Well, to monitor all those you can just intall some guages in a pod. If you want to datalog you are looking at a lot more money....

Do you want to tune or just see what going on? No matter what it wont be cheap to do this so some more info would really help us out.

You don't use EMS to monitor all that.
It is not its main job to monitor those vital signs of your engine.

You are talking about a set of sensors and gauges.
There is a Defi-Link display/control Unit that can display multiple data (i.e. speed, oil temperature, water temperature, oil pressure, fuel pressure, and exhaust temperature, etc...)
