So we opted to go the fancy route and swap our Miata gauge cluster for a supercar-like digital dash! Now the problem is that we can’t read fuel levels or oil pressure! So today we fixed those problems by adding some aftermarket bits to our ECU!
Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!

It seems like the adjustment they’re doing is trying to compensate a bit, but it can’t predict the future (between when data comes to the digital dash every 0.5 second or so) well enough to actually make it look smooth. I imagine there’s a fundamental limitation to how often they can poll data from the ECU and any compensation beyond that is a band-aid.

Legit loved seeing someone go in depth into something that is pretty easy if you already have a functioning knowledge of wire running, using a multimeter, and proper wire splicing techniques. But the bit about solder being more brittle if it isn’t heated enough - makes sense and I’ve seen it, but I just though that was my shitty soldering, not an inherent property of the solder!! Also, when soldering (for those not in the know) tin the tips of the soldering iron by melting some solder onto it when it heats, removing any unnecessary excess, and tin the tips of the wires before connecting them. It will make the process and final product that much better. And it will save your iron tips! The crimps he used may have been the high quality solder filled crimp fittings, they are much more secure and as you saw can be heat shrunk around themselves to seal out any moisture and debris. Excellent video man!

This was well over my head. But I’m glad to see this page post a video flexing your skills more than the basics like a stereo or exhaust. Very informational. Good to see you post something different

Man, watching your guys' channel, it seriously makes me wish I could take time out of my life to just do things with a project car, something that isn't so time restricted and can be done whenever I'm free.. I have fun putting my PC together, especially when it comes to custom watercooling, so I can only imagine how much fun I'd have with doing different upgrades for a car

Loved this episode. 5V sensors now make sense - and that's so useful. Next, can you and Jerry teach us how to intuitively use a multimeter?

Love the video. It also showed me, there’s no way I’d want to put in an electronic dash. The need for tech support would break me. (And I’m sure the way I do things I’d hit a bump, something would go out and I’ll never find that gremlin). Great video though. Money pit is awesome.

Great job!!! That dash looks pretty good. I know i can do it as I have before, but I also have the attention span of a house fly, so I would end up driving with half an upgrade.
