Dash alternatives.
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all, I had a quick search on here for details on digital dash displays to see if anyone was using them and how you got on etc, seems like a few of you were contemplating getting one, just wondered what you opted for and how your finding it.

Cheers.

Still contemplating here ......

Will probably go for one of these;

I think that will do everything I need it to do for sensible money and it comes with all the sensors etc.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

These are ok but at 65mm a little small.

Of course if you want data loging etc. then your into the SPA stuff and similar but then you need a mortgage just to order the manual.

Cheers Roger, both look good but as you said the latter might be a bit small.. the only down side to the first imo is the scale of the rev counter not much will be used on a car..

i like the look of the acewell 3150

any thoughts?

anyone using this?

should work ok.....

same thing with the rev counter as it's meant for a bike as well.

Looks duller than a labour party political broadcast ... (hopefully more accurate!!!)

small display and I personaly prefer an anologue / needle for revs ....

Will do the job though and half the price of my choice....

i've got one of those, got it mainly for the speedo as i've mounted a rev counter as well

Where did you mount the speedo pick up?

I am in several minds;

1) on one pot joint

2) make up a unit to sit on the end of the speedo drive output ...... (over thinking it again proberly)

3) Fit the pick-up into the case near the diff and hope the oil doesn't kill it.

No doubt 1) is easiest.

in the rear drum?

in the rear drum outer flange is easy/ drop some cap heads into the rim (easy on ally drums - I've used 5 equi-space on my gold car - works perfect)) - then wheelspin doesn't corrupt it - on the pot joints is good for traction control and launch control - but a non driven wheel is the best control signal. Then the sensor ( K series cam sensors are a good size)can be mounted up by the shock using the backplate bolts for a mounting bracket.

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Good plan that man!!!!

There are a few options available on the Acewell website on how to connect their speedos. They even sell an adapter that connects to a speedo cable drive.
