Aeroforce Interceptor Gauge Owners

Ok so according to this thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic...blem-help.html when the trans temp reads 250, that's when damage starts to occur, also a side note, the aeroforce interceptor reads 5-10 degrees Farenheit higher than other gauges read for the trans temp according to that thread. If anyone wants to confirm that, be sure to chime in.

7-Trans temps- This question gets ask a lot. What’s TOO HOT? Well ideally you want you average temp to stay under 190 degrees however I would not get to concerned till the temps get at and or over 230 degrees. Heat can damage a trans but with the exception of extreme heat 250 or higher this damage is a long term killer by breaking down fluid and causing rubber seals to harden and break.

Ok, as far as voltage for o2 sensors:
Thread where the quote was taken from: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...-readings.html
How are you checking them? First of all, engine needs to be warm. Second, RPM should be revved up to about 2500 to get a nice exhaust stream over the sensors.
Voltage should constantly fluctuate between .125v and .875v. This up and down should happen a few times every second.
Average should be about .450v.

If you want to use the gauge to see what your 1/4 mile time and trap speed are, this is a good read: https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...erceptors.html

I have one but I haven't used it much. I just set it up real quick with RPM, MPH, Trans Temp, and Throttle Position. I haven't had a chance to mount it (I got a single pod that needs painted and drilled into the A-Pillar
) but I would hook it up and then set it in the cupholder for temporary use. It is a pretty nice gauge just need to get it setup to actually use it right

Good idea for the thread OP.. I've got dual Aeroforce gauges and currently monitor: Coolant temp, Intake Air temp, Battery, and my Wideband. I've got a lot of different parameters setup on each gauge but quite a few don't even read anything. I haven't went back into them since I've got them to change things around. Trans temp won't work for M6 trans or I'd prolly monitor that also.

I've had my Aeroforce gauge for about 6 years and it's been in two different cars, I love it! Great customer service too. Lets not forget about the built in shift light, although I wish it was slightly brighter.

Luckily I already had a bung welded into my y-pipe so it was very easy to install. I mounted the little black box in the bottom of that picture in the link in the glove box for easy access. You will need to solder in 12v and find a ground. The rest is plug and play and it comes with directions on how to configure the Aeroforce gauge to recognize the wideband sensor and how to display it correctly.
What pics you looking for? Basically you have the o2 sensor in the y-pipe, the harness from that o2 sensor to the little black box, another harness from the little black box to the back of the Aeroforce gauge, and the last harness is the power/ground harness.

I love my aeroforce gauge. I usually have it on coolant/Trans temp. I have it set up to read IAT, battery, my o2 sensors, timing, throttle position and fuel %.
I have a 98 so to answer someone's earlier post yes I need to hardware it.
I originally had it mounted in the vent under the a pillar then moved it to a single pod on the pillar.

I use mine to monitor mainly AFR and Knock Retard on my Z28. I have an AEM wideband that the aeroforce piggybacks off of to get the right signal for AFR. I have the annunciator on the aeroforce set to monitor KR, and anything above 0.00 will make the lights flash red. This alone has saved me a few times.

Basically I'm lookng for any positive number. If I remember correctly the annunciation setting will depend when the warning lights come on due to the sensitivity. I set it up years ago though so I don't remember exactly.
