which gauges

[97strokerHD]

i plan on running at least three gauges. boost, pyro, and fuel pressure or hpop pressure. just trying to figure out if the hpop gauge or the fuel pressure gauge is better. or if i should just run all four. truck is a manual so not worried about trans temp gauge. any opinions?

 

[FrankTheTank]

I'd do boost, pyro, Aeroforce scan gauge.... and install just a simple LED as a warning light on fuel pressure.

The aeroforce will give you HPO and duty cycle as it is a twin display gauge.

Would the led work right off the scan gauge. I was looking at those but they seemed complicated. The scan gauge plugs into the obd port right? Would it give me an actual pressure reading? Hopefully I'm not severely over thinking this.

Far as I know, stock there's no real sensor for fuel pressure.
Led way would be using a (normally open circuit?) pressure switch setup for whatever psi.

Where would I find a switch for that? Where would be the best place to mount it or could I put in the fuel pressure test port?
Frankthetank: how would I know the hpop pressure from the scan gauge? Looked on their website and I didn't see anything about oil pressure in the options. Also did you mean that it won't give me a fuel pressure reading but I can still monitor the injectors through the duty cycle?

Personally I would just run a electric fuel pressure gauge, but that's just me.

I like the troubleshooting capabilities of the scan gauge but it might be easier to run regular gauges to get a definite pressure reading. Their website doesn't have a contact number but I did emai them. Maybe just run boost, pyro, and hpop. Then maybe add the led for the fuel pressure.

Don't waste your money on a HPOP gauge, they just tie into the sensor and do the same thing the scangauge does. Plus you won't be able to read DC% so it'll be pretty much useless anyways.

If you want only 3 gauges here is my suggestion. Isspro EV2's to start with, then boost, pyro, and a Scanguage. On that scanguage add a fuel pressure sensor. Through it you'll be able to monitor ICP, DC%, fuel pressure, engine oil temp, read and clear codes, as well as other things. Any other gauge set-up and you're wasting your time and money.

So the scan gauge can monitor hpop through the obd port? As long as I can monitor both fuel and hpop with the scan gauge that is the route I will go. Forgot about being able to add sensors to the gauge.

I doubt the scan gauge will monitor fuel psi. Get some isspro ev2 egt, boost and fuel psi then get a scan gauge or use the torque app with bluetooth obd2 adapter for hpop psi and dc

 

[FrankTheTank]

The torque app doesn't work well with an obs so I've been told. The aeroforce will read HPO thru the obd2 port while fuel pressure can only be read on the aeroforce with an add on sender. As for the warning light they sell preset senders that make a contact at XX PSI to light a light. Once fuel pressure is set on an efuel setup with a mechanical gauge at WOT there is really no reason to watch it unless is falls below 50 psi I my opinion. But that's just me.

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

ISSPRO EV2 for sure. As far as what parameters you want to monitor, that is up to you and there are many good suggestions above.

 

[97strokerHD]

I will probably go with Frankthe tank's suggestion. I will just add the fuel pressure sender and if I remember correctly the gauge has a warning light that I can set for whatever I'm monitoring. Being able to scan my truck whenever will be nice. Thanks for all the suggestions.

 

[FrankTheTank]

I think it does. I know the Isspro EV2s do but you have to buy the programing thing with them, it's like 30 bucks
