Carrot juice...

Very ironically, not sure you can run e85 legally in a 951 in CA, since you have to make injector/fueling changes that aren't permitted for smog purposes. (And I'd need a second 044 pump. Maybe someday...)

Tom, not that I have any business arguing with the master, but I am quite sure you statement about the second 044 is incorrect. If Shawn can supply 4 160# injectors with a single 044, I am quite sure you will be safe as well.

What kind of plastic did you print it in? If you did PLA it might soften if it sits in a hot car. Ive printed tons of custom gauge pods I designed for people on my 3d printers pretty much all of them are done in ABS.

I'm in the South Bay. I aim for no knock counts under heavy boost. If I starting getting more than an occasional 1 or 2, or if I consistently get counts under boost, then I work to address it...

Missed this first time around. I was a bit flippant about the 044 comment (you're right) and can only hope to find its limit on this car someday!

I would buy one if you sold them. Possibly add two USB ports with switchable voltage outputs because if the lady is in the car there her USB port(s)...

I'm happy to email the .stl file if you want to have one printed. I have to say, however, I ended up taking it out because the cup gets in the way of shifting. It's not terrible, and still my favorite cupholder for the car, but I also had other plans for that space -- see below. As for USB, I put them on the panel under the radio, but could add them to the cupholder file if helpful.


And some scope creep:

Nice work Tom!

Regarding the timer - is it configurable to other speed bands?

I originally had it time from 0-60, but kept getting times under 2 seconds because its based off the speedometer pulses. As soon as the tires spin, they're going 60 at least. I haven't worked on the code in a while, but it could be set up for any start and stop point in the firmware. I'll probably just hard-code in 2 or 3 options and leave it at that. The real point for me was to have some actual on-board data to see which parts add power and which don't... In addition to tire spin, 0-60 varies pretty dramatically based on how hard it's launched. I could make the start and stop times programmable with the buttons I suppose, but it seems like it would be pretty tedious to do on a tiny screen with two buttons...
