Series II gauge help?
I know I am going to get blasted for this, but what is the best option for monitoring oil pressure on a series 2 car?
I know racing beat sells a kit for series 1 cars and it will not work for the series 2 because of the movement of the oil filter and the high PSI that it produces. I am just having a hard time finding information on this, so any links would be appreciated. Is there a small computer that can read off the OBD2 port for these cars? Ideally I would want to be able to read oil pressure and temperature, while still keeping my 12v outlet

Racing Beat makes the pod for the S2 as well: 3-Gauge Dash Panel for 09-11 RX-8 - Racing Beat
I can't remember off the top of my head what the oil PSI is for S2 vs S1 but I'm sure there's gauges out there that can capture that data for you.
There are OBD II adaptors that can read our cars but you'll only get whatever the pcm can read (oil pressure not being one of them) but you'll see things like engine temp, rpm, etc.

Cool thank you! (Sorry for the late reply) How difficult was the installation? I am fairly mechanically inclined and have rebuilt motorcycle engines, but this one I may take to a shop. Looks intimidating.

I installed the modufied banjo bolts, and the racing beat water adaptor, had a guy solder in the wiring
