You're in an area I can't easily replicate. We live on former river bottom land, mostly flat. The nearest, steep stretch is barely 3 meters in height.

This is a good range. This is my warmed-up, 1.5L, NHW11 BSFC chart:

I used MG1 torque which is 28% of the ICE torque to calculate the ICE power. Either injector timing or for a warmed up ICE, mass flow works. In practice, I use 2,400 rpm as my upper limit but up to 2,600 should be OK. The problem is at 2,600 rpm there can be some overshoot:
  • 2,200 -> 25 hp
  • 2,400 -> 27 hp
  • 2,600 -> 30 hp
Here is another chart:

Again, it shows the optimum ICE rpm ranges.

That is the one. My wife has a pentium based Mac and we may try it someday.

If you decide to go with some discrete instruments, you can run the cables through the air inlet on the passenger side and drop them down to the cabin filter behind the glove compartment. Drill a hole through the side of replaceable filter and run the wires inside.
