Did an oil analysis of 0w20 vs 0w30.




Also, I have a new toy to beta test, made by a member of the K Swapped Insights group:




It's an all-in-one cluster converter/controller. It allows tachometer conversion, which can be used to match clusters from cars with different cylinder counts (e.g. 4 cylinder into a 3 cylinder chassis, 3 cylinder cluster into a 6 cylinder chassis). It allows quick and easy adjustment of the speedometer, so I can, for example, run different sizes summer vs winter should I desire. It is capable of adjusting the temperature gauge bars (e.g. 2 bars cold, 4 bars where VTEC becomes available, 6 bars when thermostat opens, 8 bars when fan kicks on, 10 bars "nearing overheating"). Additionally, it may have the potential to, in the future, take control of other IMA functions, such as the fuel consumption display, the IMA battery gauge (maybe use it for oil pressure or 12v?), and the assist/regen gauges (maybe a boost gauge?).
