Looking to install air intake temp gauge . The inter cooler pump blew a fuse the other day and my ait were 170 before I figured it out. Can I piggy back a gauge off the existing sensor? Or I have to add another one somewhere? It's a 6.0/whipple 2.9. I can see temps on laptop thru tuning software, but it would be nice to have a gauge.

Why not just buy an UltraGauge or Aeroforce scan gauge? Then you can monitor whatever you want, including IAT's, as well as clear codes etc.

Thing is , although I have a obd2 port , I don't think it works. I've tried to use a code reader on it to no avail. Prob because it's an aftermarket ecm/harness. I'm going to try to hook one up thru my Dakota digital gauges

No you cannot randomly piggyback off 2 wire type temp sensors.

jimmyg

I figured that but it was worth a shot. The one the ecm uses is in the back of the blower case, after the intercooler. (Perfect spot) I. Might be able to hook up a tablet to tuning software and monitor that way. Beats driving around with laptop open all the time

stevieturbo

plenty of app's and cheap obd thingies you could use for that

Yes. Fix the obd2 port. Torque Pro is awesome.

I don't think there is any fixing it. It's an aftermarket harness /ecm. The bus/can signals are different. (I think ) . I'll have to shoot mast an email and ask

stevieturbo

What ecu are you using ?

Glowshift and pro sport make dual intake temp gauges. I run one on my supercharged 5.3 so I get temps after the supercharger and after the intercooler. I run the glowshift gauge. I like that I keep it in and verify my temps and still use my OBD2 port for tuning and datalogging.

And has it no ability to display data somewhere easily ?

jimmyg

Yes , on a laptop. I'm trying to download onto a android tablet I have laying around.ive seen it done. Guy had a kit car with a mast motor in it. He controlled everything with an I pad mounted in dash. I ordered a mini USB to USB . Hopefully it works out.

I talked to mast. I guess I need a gauge that supports j1939 can protocol to connect using obd2 port.
