Best OBD system for FI....?

IIRC, our ECU doesn't pass boost/vac to the OBD bus, it has a very rough Manifold pressure sensor that is really there to detect massive leaks, not for accurate vacuum/boost

Not all of the traces and gauges in the Dash Command screens are supported on all cars. 'swhy you have to make a custom layout if you don't want to see them, which I don't think is supposed on the iOS or Android versions.

I have it for PC and I know I can import layouts..

So if you have it for PC..do you have a laptop under your seat or something? Or are you saying you can use the Ipad for that?

That looks similar, the program, to what Ron uses in Houston for his TT setup.

It's exactly the same, so far as I know, since it was him that I found out about the software from hehe.

That would explain it then.

Do you have a larger picture? I can't quite make out any details.
Sh0velMan and snowsurfdirtx like this.

So are you able to read AFR's and oil/fuel pressure on that? I see the Intake and boost.

If the software is configurable, you _should_ be able to read any item that has a Mode/PID. There is no oil pressure sensor on the Z. IIRC, MAP is not directly available but may accessible if you know where to look. See the link in my sig for some OBD/CAN info I've collected.

i bought the Aeroforce interceptor with oil pressure and wideband o2 analog inputs(it accepts 2 analog inputs) and the gauge is OBD2. I'll run a separate defi red racer for boost. once i get it all installed i'll post pics and a review, but I went with this for the least amount of clutter and keep the stock look as much as possible. Just need to order a gauge cup for the interceptor

I have opted for the Visio tablet paired by the Bluetooth obd sender. Using this and the dashcommand app I can read everything except oil pressure. Although I think I want my boost gauge to be standalone also so I am looking at ways to mount these 2 pods.

I was thinking about mounting them in-between and behind the 3 gauge cluster, in-between the current gauges. Not sure how the wiring will go through the dash as of yet though.

Anyone done this yet?

I thought I saw a diy on replacing the clock with a boost guage somewhere???

Otherwise, those galeforce pillar guage pods are super clean!
