Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
So if i want to get the oil pressure input work on mine with my RHD unit, what do i need to do? Can i send it back to you so you can update the firmware to 1.04 -

havent checked this thread in a while so can we now get gauge to do oil pressure too? do we need tobuy in gauge etc? Do RHD beta testers get the newer ones a beta tester prices too? im sure i can easily sell on my current one. I have a prosport oil pressure sender there i could use too, might just need to extend some wiring -

can we update the firmware ourselves? I have a prosport oil pressure sender i never got around to selling, might see if its compatible with this! -

i can get you another rhd tester if you need -

in your circuit tap, can it take 2 fuses or just one? if it has 2, then both need to be populated with fuses to get it working properly i think, that was the case with mine -

i think you will have issues if you dont connect it to the IG2 circuit, mine was reading boost really high because i used the same switched power as my dvd player, needs to have the correct power sequencing on start up to work properly. With my add a circuit fuse tap i need to put fuses in both blade slots(if yours has 2) -

Does that mean the vacuum readings are off? Wonder if that affrects boost measured? -

so finally got a chance to verify that the gauge is now wired up properly and operating normally. It turns out my car is only boosting at 1.2 bar peak instead of 1.5 for some reason and there is also a bit of detonation under full load. Time to get car re-tuned! about .03 difference from what mapper was seeing on his laptop to what the gauge was reading. sounds about normal -

so with my alarm system, it has a turbo timer and remote start functions built into it, out of habit, most evenings when i get home from work and im parking the car up for the night i press 2 buttons on it, one for turbo timer(so it stays on for a minute after i get out of the car and arm the alarm) and one for enabling the remote start. when i press the one to arm remote start, its like the gauge just starts up again,electronic wise stays in the car everything else stays on. i remove my keys from the car, get out and arm the alarm, engine stays on for turbo timer duration then turns off. Im sure its just related to my alarm setup, but may be worth noting in the manual. -

i really havent got a chance to use this gauge properly, with the recent blizzard snow conditions, its very rare i actually get on boost! Since wiring it up though to the IG2 circuit it is no longer displaying crazy higher boost. It does seem lower than it should be on about 1.18 bar peak, i should be at about 1.5. I have a map check with my mapper on Wednesday so we can rule out any mapping issues then. On another note, i noticed something funky the gauge does when i am arming my remote start in the evenings on my Clifford alarm, i need to press one of the buttons on my alarm fob if i want to remote start the car in the mornings, Also what is the minimum temperature the gauge will work at? seems good down to -15F. It was -25f here during the week on night, but i want driving that night -

That much i can do! i just want to double check that the boost when putting the pedal to the metal is more accurate than before when i head it wired up differently it was peaking at 25 psi sometimes and probably would have went higher if the gauge displayed over 25 psi. Seems to have the right power sequencing now. All my mistakes btw and not any issues with the gauge! -
Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
yep exactly, seems to have solved my issues with it alright, seems to be displaying boost accurately, although i will have to wait for snow to clear before i can test it properly again! Is there an AFR sender unit we can buy to hook up to this? -

im having no look with this gauge, i hooked it up to the IG2 power , i started my car and now abs and check engine light are on! Not sure why that happened!, must check the ecu and see if there is ant obvious error codes showing -
Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
Im having similar issues with my RHD one, but i think thats because it is not wired up to the correct accessory power. I ordered up an add a circuit fuse holder to tap into the IGS power circuit so that should solve my problems -

cool thanks, now i know what they are called. Cheers -

LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
did you just solder onto the fuse or use connector pictured in the manual? If so what are they called? it would make my google searches easier. rather than trying " mini blade fuse connector thingy" -
Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
did you connect it to IG2 fuse or another source of switched power? Mine was only boosting at 1.05 bar max this morning on the way to work(weird) Must check all connections again at lunch -
Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
I have ecutek map on mine so should be a bit higher. mechanical gauge before was reading about 1.3. ill check the power again but as far as i know i hooked it up to 12v switched, like it only comes on when i turn ignition to "on" position ill try connect to the IG2 circuit and see does that make a difference, just need to get one of those fancy fuse connectors! -

quick drive home seems like gauge is working, however my peak boost is 1.51 bar which i thought was a bit high for mine. Is the BAR function working properly or do i need to leave it on PSI? Do you want me to post beta issues here or PM Andy? -
Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
Yep all wired up and back in the car now, i will start testing things out on the way home for work in an hour or two. How accurate in terms of psi should the gauge be? Also what so i need to buy to get the AFR aspect working on the gauge? Thanks Dan -
Vent Boost Gauge (Digital Led Bars & numerics)
LegacyDan replied to lossol's topic in Interior/Audio
just read the manual there so, for the 12v accessory power, im presume you mean 12v switched which is when the ignition is set to on? or does it need to be connected to a 12v constant Andy? Thanks Dan -

got mine last week delivered to work, but only back from California today. Will hopefully get it insstalled during the week -
