Great presentation as always!

oil temp gauge should be mandatory on all tracked miatas. Even naturally aspirated ones. Having oil squirters a lot of the heat goes in the oil, it's not uncommon for tracked stock miatas to see over 150°c/300°f without an oil cooler. I once had the oil so hot that while the revs were going up 3-4-5k rpm the oil pressure gauge ('90 NA) would go down to 1 bar-15psi on the straights.

I can second this seeing 280-290 F oil temp on a stock vvt engine at gingerman raceway even with a reroute and larger rad.

I used the Banks dual gauge pod on suction cup to the windshield. On my ND, didn't find a better solution currently. The Banks idash gauges weigh nothing so it works well. I added oil temp and oil pressure. Did this this spring, works great. I also use them as like a 2 stage shift light set up too.

Is there a cluster available that goes on top of the steering column? As in, it sits in front of the bottom of the tach, odo and speedo? I've got an NB in mind.

Analogue race dash when? Looks fantastic! Will it talk to external sensors for oil temp, pressure etc? You answered my last question at the end.. what's the dash going to cost?

@@jacobchen2151 sorry, badly phrased. He confirmed it will accept signals from analogue gauges. I added the question "what's the cost?" later

I would really like a light that flashes if the engine knocks. My car is loud and the top is usually down, so I might miss knocking. A stand alone knock detector would be peace of mind. I imagine it would have to have some adjustment mechanism.

Agreed! We're big fans, but they unfortunately don't work in earlier Miatas.

Any opinions on OBD2 gauges ? Is it worth trying to get one ? Or are they inaccurate?

@dielaughing73 10 ай бұрын

Limited what you can learn from OBD on my NC. Water temp is about it but even that is supposedly not a direct, accurate measurement. You can track whatever OBD sends via your phone or head unit anyway

@agunther08 9 ай бұрын

I have Banks iDash (one) gauges as near as I can tell they seem accurate - they are definitely consitant and the readings make sense. The iDash gauges are obd and with an optional bus are analog too. Be prepared its a great set up but it ain't cheap. Also the one gauge is only going to report what the obd reports - I imagine the gauge is not the question. More like how good are the sensors in your car?
