Scangauge installed!

[toucci]

I recently ordered and put in my scangauge OBD-II tool. It displays the OBD-II details the computer keeps secret from you. Stuff like water temp, intake temp, mph and tach in RPMs, battery voltage, closed/open loop status, current gas mileage, and gallons per hour. It mounted quite nicely in my dash too:

Installation involved hooking it up to the OBD connector.. and thats it. Way cool. I got it mainly to track mileage (it does trip, tank, and daily recordings) but all the extra gauges are awesome. I wish I had my injen still to compare temps. Only downside is the cost ($170) but that's cheaper than the time and effort required to install inexpensive seperate voltage, water temp, and RPM gauges.

very interesting, too bad its not more appealing to the eye....kinda blah but kick ass none the less!

would it be possible for you to snap a few pics of the gauge settings(color options and screen displays, maybe at night?) im really thinking about buying one of these enstead of 8 gauges.

Toucci, does it measure the vacuum? I saw on the site it says it measure the manifold pressure, but not on all cars. Have you tried it yet? I'm wondering how it'll work w/ the turbo...

 

[atticus1398]

which odb port did you use? iirc, the MSP's obd port under the dash is filled with goop and doesn't work. i think.

It uses the MAP sensor which I don't believe our cars have, do they? Either way it's not giving me any info there.

this is one of the coolest things i've seen in a while....does it measure gigawatts?

One more thing to add to the shopping list... great find!
