Scangauge II

seems like the OBDII / Torque thing would kill your battery, and messing around with it, the GPS or Pandora on the phone would be a huge distraction

I also think that the UltraGauge seems like a good buy at $59, but it doesnt look as good as the SG

 

The Android/iPhone apps are sweet for checking codes.

But not really feasible as a permanent install to monitor gauges, which is why I bought the SG.

 

x2

I have mine set to display, Coolant Temp, MPG, RPMS, and HPR (Horsepower i think? lol)

I know you can do, Voltage, Air Intake Temp, LOD (%Load on the Engine), GPH (Gallons Per Hour), Speed.

and well i don't know what else, i forgot. Anyways X-Gauges don't seem to work well for me

 

Oh and as far as mounting it, it hides away great in the cubby where the parking brake would be for manual transmissions.

 

found it on ebay under "bluetooth obd2"
i have the "elm327" adapter and it works pretty good, it come up with a few scanner errors everynow and then. the maker of torque recomends the scanner from www.scantool.net

 

Man that looks slick! Great job!

 

So I was messing around with my scangaugeII and switched over to the HPR gauge (HPR=BHP engine "calculated" horsepower for those who are new to scangauge). On 3 attempts @ about 5K RPM in 3rd gear the gauge peaked at 281-285. Thought the reading was a bit high.

The truck is a 2011 4.0 with a Magnaflow bolt on catback. I'm running 98RON fuel (in Germany) I believe its equivalent to somewhere between 93-95 octane. Also 5w30 Mobile 1 full synthetic oil. Other than that the truck is 100% stock as far as anything that could effect engine performance.

So scangauge is calculating my truck is producing 49hp over the stock 236 w/ only a catback and some awesome German gas? I find it hard to believe, but who knows! Wanted to see what other peoples results were with the HPR gauge and its accuracy?

 

Damn these things look sweet. I may have to pick one up when I get my truck.

 

he only thing that sucks is that you have to ship it to them to get it updated. makes me mad

 

Maybe you're not the only one, I've noticed that when accelerating hard from a stop Between 3-4K RPM it's already telling me 100+HP. I don't remember if I was using premium at the time and the only mod I've done is swap my OEM muffler for a Aero Turbine one.
