Raspberry Pi Dash
If you’re like me, the default gauge package you install is probably real gauges. I’m running the SpeedHut gauge package that was around $700 or so with a GPS speedo.
With technology and an ECU like the one I’m running, the EFI Source Gold Box you’re able to run TunerStudio and take advantage of making your own gauges or modifying the gauges that come with it. TunerStudio is written in Java, so most newer operating systems like Linux and Windows are able to run this natively. Hell, you can even replace ALL OF YOUR GAUGES for about $135.
Here comes the Raspberry PI. Its a small computer that many have used for things such as retro-gaming, small computing and various projects. What I’m doing is setting up a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a 7″ touch screen display, 64GB microSD card, Raspbian Linux, GPS and of course, TunerStudio.
In one pic you’ll see my gauges in full screen mode. I’ll make a video reviewing this setup soon.
Here are some pics:
7″ Touchscreen 1024×600 display, car power supply.

TunerStudio running under Raspbian Linux and a small USB keyboard/touchpad combo. 
GPS Configured!

New shoes for the Turbo Camaro
Picked up some 15×3.5 and 15×12 Champion Billet Stripster Wheels for the Turbo Camaro along with some 315x60x15 ET Street Radials for the back. Found out I need some spacers for the front and longer wheel studs. Also need to set the ride height. Getting closer…

Time for another update…
WOW.. didnt realize I hadnt updated since early November 2016. With the holidays coming up, not much work was done. Actually, very little other than spend money for parts that were needed. Lots of the wiring is done and is gettin there.
Ended up picking up a Cool Mist water/methanol injection kit, Derale oil cooler with a fan, Derale trans cooler, a steam vent kit for LS engines, 2 JEGS race seats. In my previous post I mentioned that I bought a el-cheapo refurb laptop to learn tuning. Since I’m running EFI Source MS3-Gold I needed to learn how to tune this beast. Sloppy Mechanics has a series of videos you can buy that explain how to do so with real-time dyno vids and explanations. Its well worth the money.
OH. Forgot, I did remove the center section. My 4.30 gears would be no fun on the street. It had quite a bit of slop, so either it had used gears in it or they were just worn the hell out. I’ll remove the rear, wire brush itHopefully in the next week or two lots more progress will be complete.

Update on the turbo Camaro
Getting close to wrapping her up. All the wiring is being redone by a good friend of mine @ RAR Racing in San Antonio. ECU being installed. Removing my aluminum Kerkey seat and getting two much more comfortable seats. Gauge cluster done. Lots of work goin on! The pic of the laptop is my el-cheapo refurb Dell E4200 that I will be using with TunerStudio Ultra to tune my Camaro. I’ll also use a tablet real-time to monitor my EFI setup while I’m driving.

Almost time for wiring
Looks like its going to be time to drop off the turbo Camaro at a friends shop for some total rewiring, EFI install, Fuel system install and some small stuff. I think I’ve done all I can and now leave the wiring to an expert.
My EFI setup is from EFI Source – MS3 Gold Box. It has everything you need to go EFI, from 80# injectors to the ECU, complete wiring, documentation and a base tune to get your car running. The fuel system I’m going with is from Magnafuel, its their MP-4303 pump and is going along with their pre/post fuel filters. The injectors with the kit, I read that they dont support 1000HP, which is fine, since my engine has a stock rotating assembly. We’ll cap it at 900HP. LOL. Juuusssttt about done with this turbo car.
Last but not least, I finally installed my manual tensioner from ICT BIllet. Lines up perfectly.
