i have been looking into getting a gauge for this project to run my a/f ratio, boost and wide band does any one suggest a gauge that can do all with one gauge. (looking in to Aro Force) has anyone used these on a trans am

also was wanting to mount it in a vent any help on how/were which one to place it in or not place it in??


IF any one has tuned with the Aero Force and had good results with it please let me know

why would you want that? and no, you dont wanna tune with a gauge.

not just with the gauge but i have heard that some people say that all in ones sometime are not accurate and i was wondering if anyone has tuned and if the gauge was pretty close (hear within 1)
thanks guys

just get an lm1 and a boost gauge.

That gauge won't read boost off of the map sensor. It only will on a factory boosted vehicle

ya i know i was planning on buying Boost/Vacuum sensor kits with the interceptor

is the afr part of the gauge a wideband with a voltage output?
i myself would not trust my tune to a all in one gauge, get a real wideband for tuning

oh btw if the gauge does not have a voltage output for the afr, you cannot use it to tune the car correctly

yes it does
i just don't like the look of the pods on the side of the car and so i figured if i got a all in one than i could mount on in the A/C and be done with it

The gauge has 2 analog out puts... Wideband could be used as one

The gauge is probably too small to fit in the a/c vent

Im confused... Im new to this all my self.. But how do you tune with a gauge? Its usually software such as HP tunners or efilive you tune with? I know you hook up a wide band to the program. But that has nothing to do with the gauge but the actual sensor. Even if you have an areoforce gauge you still need to have a wide bad 02 sensor installed on your car. And that should hook up to a tunner. You can not use Areoforce gauges while hooked up to a programmer. or from what i was told. I have a triple areo force gauges along with efilive. And cant plug them both in to the osb2.. Or maybe im miss understanding something all together.

wow, just wow.......talk about internet bs. Any semi experienced tuner can easily use an aeroforce gauge to do several things.....

1. keep and or save their engine from breakage. (knock retard with adjutable lighted alert)
2. ad on a wideband for tuning.
3. ad on a boost gaugeif wanted.

In reality the boost number is just a number....you dont even need to know it. I dont like digital boost gauges so I dont use them that way. The wide band is available and yes you need to ad on a wideband sensor. You dont have to input the wideband into a logger to tune, yes its nice, but for many many many years we tuned without logging the afr every second. Yes you obviously need a tuner program, like hp, efi live, tuner cats etc etc....but the aeroforce gauge can give you great information driving around when you dont have a laptop hooked up. Most of all, knock retard....and if your watchful, where and when it happens so you can make a tune change and try it out.

I fabricate turbo systems daily, and I will not sell one if the buyer doesnt have some sort of gauge to monitor knock. If they cant afford the gauge, they cant afford boost......one tank of bad gas, and its over, hot dry weather, etc etc .......

Check out the Trinity.
it is a full color touch screen dash monitor, with 2 analog inputs.
You can log for hours on end, and export logs for playback to a PC through USB or the SD card slot.

I run three gauges. Fuel pressure, boost/vac and an Aeroforce. I have the add on wideband kit and for it.

you are correct, you can not tune with a wide band but i was wondering if anyone has tuned and then had the same number or aka if it is accurate.

i think that im going to get a aero force gauge but i was wondering if it will read the knock straight from the computer because they don't make a sensor for it??? (i believe it does)

if y'all where going to put in gauges how would y'all do it??? i don't wana put a tripod system on my left side of the window bc i don't like it. that y i was trying to use the Aero force for all of the stuff that the computer monitors and put something right above the shifter to monitor something but i just don't know how what im going to connect to the Aero force and what im going to run on a single gauge

if any one has any suggestion on how to keep the gauges to a min. w/out pods please let me know

I have an aeroforce gauge in my middle AC vent. It will fit, you just have to make an adapter since the hole is like 2-5/8" and the gauge is about 2-1/16". I used a spray paint can lid and cut it as needed and it works great!

Hmmm...it works fine with my 99 Z28?

OK, I see the app chart does not list the T/A....I have that being fixed right now

We recently released an update that adds support for all these older GM PCMs, so F-bodies, C5s, and all 99-up genIII trucks are now supported in Trinity.

Thanks

Ahh gotcha.. Yea, I clicked the link and it sounded pretty cool, but once I saw it didnt have any 98-02 fbody listed, I stopped looking. I may have to check it out and read more about it since I know it works with our cars now.
