I recently purchased the Blitz R-Vit Monitoring system, and I wanted to know if needed to perform the video bypass in order for this thing to work while in motion. I also wanted to know how to adjust this unit to read Air/Fuel ratio since our cars supposedly have a built in wideband. Any help would be greatly be appreciated.

 

Terry can better help u wid this since he has something similar, but my understanding is that u would need to do the bypass to get ur screen to work in motion, then again since blitz is a 3rd party hardware u might not.... hmmmm, hope terryc drops by or u can PM him.

 

Thanks kool yaar, I'm gonna work on the bypass today and try to figure out the Air fuel issue.

 

Please get some pics for us. I myself have the CAMP2 system and would have opted for the Blitz if I could get boost on it.

 

I'll post some soon. I recently figured out the Air Fuel ratio issue, and let me tell this system is nice and definately worth the money! I still wish I could use the blitz while listening to my IPOD! I'm still working on this.

 

I know the blitz can monitor AFR from the stock widebands/ECU, but the problem is monitoring boost. You can't add a Blitz module and sensor for it, therefore you must add a separate gauge for boost. That's assuming you're going FI, otherwise the Blitz is the best for the money. With the CAMP2, I can monitor boost if I add the module and sensor. As far as AFR, I must either purchase a separate gauge (Might go with an AEM wideband for tuning purposes as well) or with the HKS AFK and Knock Amp (Both of which cost a lot).

I'll probably just add all the extra sensors for the Camp 2 and somehow integrate an AEM wideband into the dash for AFR.

 

You are absolutely right, boost cannot be read from the Blitz unit. Eventually I will be getting supercharged, and I will not get a boost gauge right away because my boost will be limited by the belt size. If I was going turbo that would be a different story. I haven't used the HKS CAMP system, so I haven't been able to determine which is more user friendly, but I can say that I am happy that I am able to read afr's (my main goal) and bunch of other things.

 

I would've used the Blitz as well, since the display appears better IMO and the total package comes out a bit cheaper. However, the stock widebands are not very accurate below the 13:1 region, so using them for tuning when I get boosted would be useless. That's kinda why I ended up with the CAMP as I can use an aftermarket wideband mounted in the ashtray or something.

I need to do something about the display though and see what I can do as far as music goes. I'll PM you when I figure it out.

 

Correct ... you need to bypass the nav lockout to display the gauges on the move if using the AUX inputs in the arm rest (my current setup).

I believe Modme in myg37 tapped directly into the LCD instead of using the AUX inputs to display his carPC. He even went as far as integrating a touchscreen overlay for his carPC.

 

Q8y Drifter,

are you able to confirm that the stock widebands are not accurate under 13:1? I know this has been debated before between Shariff and Sam. Shariff said they are not accurate at certain levels and Sam said otherwise. I would put my money on Sam's opinion!

 

They're actually both kinda right. Sharif said they start to lose accuracy below 13:1 and get worse as the AFR gets richer. Which is true, however, when tuning an N/A G, the richest it will be at open loop is around 12.7:1 and that's mostly seen on a VHR. My HR sedan is tuned at 13.1:1 which is where it made the most power.
You don't need the accuracy of an aftermarket wideband when tuning an N/A as the room for error is greater compared to FI, not to mention with N/A you don't go THAT much below 13:1 anyway.

My opinion is, if you're going FI you should invest in a good wideband for tuning, otherwise if you're staying N/A, I don't see the point. I'm going to get a GTM SC and so I'll probably go with an AEM Uego.
