Aeroforce Scangauge

Who has a scangauge? Do you like it? What all will the scangauge do for the OBS? How does it plug into the OBD2 port? Any pics of how it plugs into port? It seems to me that if it just plugs into the port it would be in the way. I am thinking real serious about purchasing one of these gauges. I want a HPOP pressure gauge and this looks like it would work for that and a whole lot more.

it will read everything your pcm does i am in the works of gettin one

Chris, I have one and it works very good. I am happy with it. I have mine mounted down low on the dash. That way one setting works good in bright or dim conditions. I helped them to get a few of the glitches out on the OBS. I also run an add on sensor to monitor oil pressure. It plugs into the OBD plug with a right angle plug so it is not an issue. I can take photos if you want.

Pics would be great tom!

Oh, what the heck I will go take you a couple.

Thanks Tom I would appreciate it. I was thinking about adding the gauge and getting a new 4 gauge A pillar.

Chris

what do ya have to add for oil pressure??

Yes it does not get in the way at all especially on an OBS.

To get oil pressure you need a sending unit and run it separately to the gauge.

I have the add on oil pressure guage and it works nice. I did not buy the 5v adapter, I instead used a 5v source off the PCM. I have the scan guage set up so the warning lights come on if the oil pressure goes below a threshold.

how does it hook in seperate to the guage??

The gauge has a spot for two add on sensors on the back. I think the also have gauges now that just do the add on sensor thing so you could have all matching gauges.

Great thanks!!! See you this weekend.

I ordered the coolant temp sensor but after hooking gauge up I notice that the computer shows both coolant temp and oil temp. Does anyone know if the computer reading on the coolant temp is accurate? If so I would not need to hook up the extra sensor.

Chris

as far as i know its accurate, i didnt think that the computer showed oil temp i thought it was just oil pressure

Computer reading for oil temp should be pretty darn accurate. It is the sensor mounted to the back of the HPOP. There is no PCM PID for low pressure oil. You may well see a reading for coolant temp on AE and the scan gauges but it is a false reading. There is no wire from either coolant temp sender to the PCM.

Where are you going to grab the 5v power for the add on sensor?

Tom I had not put much thought in where to pick up power for the sensor yet. What is your suggestion for power?

Chris

What will the scan guage actually show you? Im thinking about getting one, but im wanting a volt guage and a coolant temp guage
