On price.. I mean after the money that's already been spent I'd be willing to pay up to 200 to have that gauge work. It's nice to have some kind of idea of where we are. I mean, sure I have datalogging, and a buzzer. But, still I like knowing if it's running cool or hot.

As for the meaning of each light.. I like the idea of stock. But then again I like the idea of having a meaning for the lights (i.e. first light no vtec, 2nd light, cool, 3rd light, normal, 4th light hot). With this latter there would be a benefit to people with a stock ECU as well. That might open up some track folks with stock ECU's to want to use it to have greater level of control the light.

Damn good point. This could potentially widen the market from a few AEM users to users of all ECUs including OEM, OEM with piggy back, Mugen, Spoon, and Amuse.

I don't want to butt in to this great engineering discussion, but I thought I would give my feedback:

I'm stock everything, and I would be interested at the $20-$50 level for the MCF (Modifrication Coolness Factor) of having a more-informative temperature gauge.

That's part of the reason for the idea of re-calibrating the gauge. If it provides features that non-AEM owners would want, maybe more units could be sold, keeping costs down.

Right now I'm pretty sure it can be done for less than $100, which looks to be in line with most of your budgets. So I'll start making some more detailed measurements on my car and see what I can do.

I'm assuming this would also work for the 2004's?

Don't 04s have a higher resolution gauge already?

[QUOTE=modifry,Sep 9 2004, 01:33 PM] What if we changed it so the first bar came on at 120
