I have been contemplating getting a Scan Gauge II for quite some time, and im my recent research, I've been running into this product ALOT. Its the same concept, but with a LOT more features

It even has dyno capabilites, with uploadable software to your computer for actually printing dyno charts... Now, we all say these things are unaccurate (like g-timers and all the similar) but If i actually compare it to a recent chart, and the numbers are accurate or within a close ratio, i now have a full time reading dyno in my car

As well as IAT temp, oil temp, a/f, and sooo much more. Check the link and you can see all the things that this does. It even has aux ports, so you can just hook up like another guage, defi or whatever.

It is a little pricey though.... best I've found so far is around $400 shipped. But think of all the money that can be saved on Dyno's if this is an accurate reading tool.

It also offers 0-60 , 1/8 & 1/4 miles and all that stuff.....


thoughts??

 

Why can't they make these things a little better looking?

I'm still skeptical about it being as accurate as actually taking your car to the dyno, I would want to see some evidence / comparisons.

Overall, I think this is an awesome tool.

 

initially when I was looking for a dashboard meter, I looked at this one, really overpriced... I rather have something else for the price... ie. oil temperature gauge, water temperature gauge or even an aem uego... after all is said and done... this little thing is the price of 15 dyno pulls...

ps. I would get a scangauge II if I were you

 

i dun think u can do oil temp/oil pressure with this thing......unless u hook it up with an external sensor....
i have the scangaugeII actually....i think wut this device does for extra is the logging and dyno capability.

 

your scangauge II doesnt do oil temp?

 

Yes, the thing is ugly!! But like you said they all are..... Are we talking about a group buy here???

 

its ugly, but i would put it in one of the compartments by the shifter, near my EDFC so i can close the lid and hide it

 

nope...the only temp i get from my scanguageII is the Water temp and IAT...so far i set my gauge to display water temp, IAT, engine load and liters/100km

 

Looks pretty cool to me, but then again, I'm a charts and graphs kind of guy.

Accuracy is the concern (well and cost). It looks like (in the one comparision) that the math is smoothing and extrapolating pretty linearly. It results in higher estimates than the actual dyno run and, of course, a lot less spikey.

But if the thing is consistent, it could be a nice guage for what various changes on the car do for you, even if the HP/Torque numbers are not exact.

 

Scangauge ftw.

It reads oil, and tranny temps for trucks. I emailed Scangauge asking if they had any codes to do the same for Acura/Honda...they never replied

Here is mine in upper cubby, with EDFC below.



My current readings are now:

o MPG INTAKE TEMP o
o HP WATER TEMP o

 

This was always my view on these types of devices.

 

blackura ive been trying to PM you but it doesnt work so i have to ask you a unrelated question through here.....ur new car looks familar and u live on long island....where did u get ur tints done? and howd they come out? i looked at audio design in hicksville cause they guy from graffic dezine in dp moved there and he did a good job on my old car but they only do 20% or 5%.....i wanted 15......get back to me soon if u can....thanks

 

Hey man... I had mine done at the dealership

yes, i did get raped ($400) but they were ready when the car was new for delivery (no waiting or not rolling down the windows) and i they are warranted FROM the dealership. plus, they did a great job. alot of people, their little quarter window doesnt come out right (my last car) but it came out perfect this time. they also line the window rail with felt to prevent scratchs, but they are still inevitable... so, atleast once they get bad enough, ill bring it to the dealer to be re-tinted

 

ahhh im surprised theyd tint your car illegally tho.....i thought they only went down to like 35%.....yeah this guy wants me to buy the felt online and bring it to him.....arite thanks for ur help....when i reach my 3 day as a member ill PM u.....got a couple of other ?'s
