About this Manufacturer:
BLITZ began in the late 1970's as a circuit racing team and eventually developed into a high performance tuning shop. In 1980 BLITZ Co., LTD. was established in Tokyo, Japan. The concept was to produce high performance products without sacrificing the capability if being daily driven, commuter cars. A key to BLITZ's success was from the extensive race experience.
BLITZ has always manufactured the highest quality products. They produce everything from electronics to racing wheels. Every BLITZ produced has gone through extensive research and testing to ensure optimum performance.

About this Product:
The R-VIT (Racing Vehicle Information Technology) is a state of the art monitoring system that can read and display up to 20 different types of Real Timer information provided by the factory ECU. The R-VIT is a fully digital monitoring device with 5 different types of digital displaying capabilities (Needle Meter, Ellipse Meter, Bar Graph, Triple Monitor, and Six-fold Monitor). The R-VIT feature peak-hold recording, playback features, that can record and replay up to 99 seconds. Limits can be set in flash and audible warnings to notify the driver of different engine variables, thus reducing the chances of damaging the motor. (R-VIT is featured in a 1/2 Din size) R-Vit and SBC i-D INFRARED connection: The R-VIT can communicate with the SBC i-D boost controller via INFRARED to operate the speed and tachometer, OPT 1/OPT 2 readings. **The R-VIT can be used on most Japanese Imports 1996 and newer with the on-board diagnosis port. For Nissans 1989-1999, use R-VIT Type II. For Toyota manufactured before 1996, BLITZ will be releasing an R-VIT Type III in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of gauges available?
There are dozens of gauges available which monitor all types of engine performance. Some common ones are air/fuel ratio, oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature, exhaust temperature, fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauges. Several more are available, so check our product pages to get more details.
Do gauges work on any vehicle?
Gauges are universal and can be mounted virtually anywhere in any vehicle. Gauge pods are usually used to house these aftermarket gauges within your vehicle.
How do you install gauges?
Some gauges are electrical while some are mechanical. Electrical gauges use sensors that have to be installed, while mechanical gauges rely on hoses for feedback. All gauges must be wired up for lighting within your vehicle.
Why buy gauges?
Gauges can give you the warm feeling of knowing that your engine is healthy and warn you when it isn't. The main gauges that help you monitor the health of any high-performance engine would be the basic gauges, such oil pressure, oil temperature and coolant temperature. Aside from that, they give your car that custom race look.
How do I install a tach in a car that did not come with one? How difficult is it?
A tachometer is a great instrument to have in your car. Monitoring your engines RPM will help you shift at the appropriate time to gain the best performance or even better gas mileage. Most aftermarket tachometers only have 3 or 4 wires that need to be connected for operation. A main power wire that gets connected to a 12 volt ignition source, a ground wire, a tach signal wire that connects to the coil or the designated signal wire in your cars wiring diagram, and sometimes a wire to run the light inside the tach for night time use, which can be connected to the same power source as your other dash lights. If your car did not come with a tach, but it was an option for your specific model then there is a good chance the wiring is already in place to run the tachometer. It is best to purchase a factory service manual and carefully study the wiring schematics to determine if the wiring is there or not. The only tools you will need for this wiring job are a pair of wire cutters, a pair of wire strippers, a good pair of wire crimpers, some crimp-on style electrical connectors and a little electrical tape. While this is a pretty simple job, if you are not comfortable using these tools it is best to seek professional help.
If you are trying to install a late model gauge cluster, including a tach, into an older model car that did not have one the process is a little more complicated. You will need the wiring diagrams for both the donor vehicle and the car you are installing the gauge cluster in. You will then have to carefully trace and mark each wire to determine what it is for. Finally you connect the appropriate wires together (temp gauge to temp sender wire etc.) and carefully tape off any wires that are unused. Because modern cars use have varied computer controlled components it is not always possible or compatible to swap gauge clusters so it is important to research the subject for your specific model before taking the plunge.
