I am designing (well, hijacking) a design for a dash mounted LED type display for my 4runner that will have a 10 led "A/F Meter" and a 10 led "Fuel Injector Duty Meter" The idea I have comes from this website (infact I am having Ian build these for me)
Air Fuel Meter
Fuel Injector Meter

I plan on using the clear type LED's that only show color when they are on. I also plan on making this dim at night, so that it doesn't blind me.

I have photoshopped a few ideas, what do you guys think?



This one has the led's on either side of the cluster. I don't think they will be this big, but you get the idea.



This is only the A/F meter. I don't like this one so much because it will be covered by the tach.



This one shows the led's only around the tach. I think this looks cool, but isn't symmetric like the first one.

My vote is for the first one. Whatcha think?

i like the first one too , it looks very knight rider and would freek any one out that drives it , go for it ,cant wait for the real photos!

 

This is going to take a few weeks, but I think I've made up my mind on the first one.

The first one is sweet! Tempe huh? Hmmm, maybe I will have to check out this cool mod in person when you are finished!

 

96,

Yeah I will show it to you for sure! I am trying to drum up support for a "meeting" of all the 3rd gens in the valley that are active members of this forum and the 4x4wire forum. This will take time though. I am planning for summertime, but not sure when. (damn heat)

The guy making the kit said he an do it, along with a circuit that dims the led's when the dash lights are on. (adjustable also!) He wants $150 for the entire kit. (everything for both sensors) I'm still not sure about this one though. i dont want to hack my stock dash, so I might have to buy a new(used?) trim piece.

Does anyone know what the injector duty cycle is likely to be on a 1985 22re at idle and at 2500 rpm. I get Appx 5% at idle and 10% at 2500rpm at #1 injector. Is this what I should get? Thanks
