Greddy Informeter?

Has anybody used on of these?

http://www.greddy.com/products/electronics/informeter/

I'm normally the guy with 9000 gauges all over the dashboard, I guess I always wanted to be a fighter pilot or something, but for the bRZ I want understated and sophisticated so the various OBD displays seem better suited to this application.

The three meters that are crucial to me are oil temp, oil pressure and knock. I want to know know if my direct injector seals are getting beat up and if my oil is getting overstressed.

I've got a contact in to Greddy about the knock sensor; that's the deal breaker if it can't register that parameter.

I have one.

I have mine set to show boost, water temp, oil temp, and air intake temp.Let me play with it and see if it will read knock, and anything else important.

There is no factory oil pressure sensor, only a switch, so you won't find that on the can bus. But, delicious tuning is working on a fuel pressure sensor that they are integrating into the can bus. I think they plan to use that to work as an oil pressure sensor as well. Fingers crossed, they should be ready to release more info soon.

I used to have it when I had an '03 RSX Type-S. It's not a bad unit. I liked that it gave a lot of readouts in one screen vs having multiple gauges. I never had a chance to hookup the extra sensors.

It is a little expensive for what it does though.

I wish Defi kept the HUD version but they discontinued it. It would be nice having it projected on the windshield.
