I would be interested if anyone is using one of the phone HUD things. Many look cheap but seems a good way to get some of this data without a crazy setup (though sort of interested in that, too).

Im thinking of going to torque app route to save on costs from new gauges/sensors, but not sure if it is critical to use standalone gauges instead.

Things I am looking at reading:
Boost
Oil Temp/pressure
Trans oil temp
Wideband

I would save alot of cash if I can safely rely on these apps instead.

You can get Wideband for each bank, and, based on above posts, oil temp. I suppose it might be possible if you upgrade the MAP sensor to do speed density tuning to get Boost through it, though no one has reported that bonus feature. Oil pressure is impossible because the car lacks the proper sensor so the data doesn't exist. No idea on trans temp.

If you do decide to get some of your data through this method, buy a nice high speed adapter and not a cheap one. I had a cheap one at first.. worked great for clearing codes, etc... but for datalogging it was WAY too slow. My current OBDLink LX feels fast enough for this type of usage.

But if we add a oil pressure sensor to the car, can Torque app pick that up and display it, even though the car doesnt originally have an oil pressure sensor?

Not to my knowledge... unless it has some way to interface with external sensors.

Ok I think I may replace the factory gauges with Boost, Oil Pressure, and then trans oil temp.

Then use Torque app to display Engine oil Temp (VVT oil temp via nissan advance plug in) and A/F since I am pretty sure that it can atleast do them properly.

That way I won't have to add too many new gauges and keep the cost to a minimum for monitoring the vitals.
