I'm thinking of adding this to my non-SC Carrera. Any idea what I would need?

Hatzenbach

I don’t think that feasible unless you want to cut a whole into your dash and add a SC wart.

Hatzenbach

Great idea, I’ll update the installation manual with that.

For anyone outside the US and Canada who is waiting for the day when they can finally order the gauge, today's the day!
I opened it up for worldwide shipping.
I'm busy making new product over the weekend and will start shipping on Monday.

Just a thought ... With your 3D printing skills could you make an add on to mount the gauge on the dash, or elsewhere? You would need to add a ground to the harness, and you might not have dimming when the headlights are activated. But you'd still get what I consider to be a valuable gauge set.

Thanks Wayne, good idea!
The cable from the "black box" to the display is relatively thick & stiff (it has 8 individual strains), that means routing the cable would be an issue.
When I have some time on my hands I want to look into doing this with a wireless display, which would talk to the "black box" via WiFi or Bluetooth.
Then it would only need a ground wire and a power wire. The box currently uses only 0.5 Watt, meaning that the wires could be very thin, like 28 gauge, easy to route & hide.
And another project for "future Chris" :-)

I'll 100% hack my $#!@ up lol ... If I must.

Either way I'm in the market for a full leather dashboard so it makes sense to just buy a new one with the cutout. I'm must dumbfounded on the wiring part.

Someone in Florida added the wart. Maybe he'll chime in with his experience.

Routing the wires from the dash down isn't that bad. Tieing into the CANBus was less comfortable!!!!!

Is the wart housing a part available from Porsche?

Thank you for doing what Porsche should have in the first place! Now for the ideas…😀

For turbos, this is the perfect place to put a boost gauge that is safe to watch under max boost and doesn’t top out at 17psi like the cluster gauge (higher readings data is available somewhere as you can get them from data logs).

What about a simple, actually functional lap timer actuated by a single pull of the stalk unlike the idiotic ergo of the sport chrono.

Hatzenbach

Great idea about the boost gauge, but first I need to decipher how the Turbo reports oil/water temp and oil pressure

About the idea with the laptimer: Yeah, I thought about that, but there are so many really good after-market laptimers out there with tons of functionality, that I'm afraid that the # of people who would actually want that is too small.

Hatzenbach

Lots of them on eBay

myw

tempting!

Wayne Smith

This really is a no brainer. What are the two most important gauges on your car? Oil pressure and oil temp. What are the two gauges you can't see with your hands at 9 and 3? Yep, those two gauges. Putting them in place of the wart is genius.

Is this is not possible without the temp and pressure sensors of a 997.1 in a 987.1? Sorry for inexperienced question.

JGEMDOC

will this work on a 7.1 gt3?
