Great to see more people doing this, so here is mine:
My engine monitor consists of:
Here is a pic of the box
Here is a KIP window with the gauges

There will be a video coming out on the 25th January about it
My engine monitor consists of:
- Oil Pressure - requires a pressure sender and a port on the engine to connect to.
- RPM - requires a pulse from the spinning engine, this is usually the 'W' terminal or Tachometer Signal wire. This could also be done using a flywheel sensor or something similar
- Fuel Burn Rate - this will be calculated from the RPM
- Temperature Sensors - I am using 1-Wire sensors for the following:
- Oil Temperature
- Aft Cabin Temperature
- Exhaust Elbow Temperature
- Exhaust Barrel Temperature
- Alternator Temperature
- Environmental Sensor - this device will report Temperature, Relative Humidity and Air Pressure in the engine bay
