Scanguage does NOT show boost as either bar or psi......but there is a LOD setting

 

LOD ?

Does it display an info relating to airflowmeter output ?

 

stevie I do hope we are not going the same way as we did with the brakes

Here are the FACTS, I will tell you what each gauge is ,as it says in the manual, so as to clear this up once and for all, word for word - ' exact'

1. closed Lp / Open Lp = Fuel system loop = this indicates when the oxygen sensor is being used to control the mixture ( closed loop) and when it is not (open loop). it is usually closed except when the engine is cold or under full throttle acceleration. displays

2. CPM = cost per mile at this time (trip meter when full specs and details entered. displays

3. FIA / CIA = intake air temp - displays

4. FWT / CWT = water temp - cooling system displays

5. FPR = Fuel Pressure - only gauge not to work in the subaru

6. IGN = Ignition timing - NEW AGE - VVT displays

7. LOD = Engine loading = this is a percentage of the maximum power available currently being generated. displays

8. MPG = miles per gallon when details of vehicle entered ie cc, size of tank, when filled, etc etc displays

9. MPH / KPH = speed. displays

10. MAP = Absolute manifold pressure = This indicates the pressure in the intake manifold, it is reported in pounds-per-square-inch (psi), by default but can be changed to kilo-pascals (kpa) if desired
Ay sea level the pressure at wide open throttle can be as high 15psi or 10 kpa. If the engine is turbo or supercharged the pressure will be higher than this. displays

11. RPM = revs per minute displays

12. TPS = throttle position setting displays

13. VLT = Battery voltage displays


Now as you can see i have put in red the word display, this means that on my 2002 new age sti they do provide and display information from the ECU, where I have commented new age, this means that that gauge only works on the new age scooby as it has VVT - Variable valve timing

Now lets hope this clears all this up, if anyone wants to see the gauge working, I am sure for those of us that have it will gladly show it to anyone, just ask, but please no more silly , read the info

 

Woo hoo....!!!! Go Jonny Jo.........LOL think that may be the definitive answer to all questions about Scanguage right there LMAO Well done mate, I lost my packaging so couldnt post that info up for all...Thankyou mate!

 

So what does it do

LOL

 

I asked a simple question. So the answer is no. It does not display any info relating to MAF output.

I wonder how it determines this "LOD" factor, or what it actually relates to.

 

Mass air flow measuring sensor, this does not measure power on its own, but does measure air temp at the intake. So in a way the scangauge is showing some info from the MAF as most if not all measure flow and temp of air.
The engine load is measured by the RPM, the only way to properly measure engine power is by dyno testing, by it by rolling road or engine out dynos.

As for the engine lod and exactly how it determines power I dont know, but I will and have sent the question to Scangauge and will post there answer in relation to this.

So the answer is yes it does show information from the MAF

 

MAF measures the volume of air passing by, not the temp. Some more modern units may also contain a temp sensor, but not that many.
99/00 cars do not have any form of intake air temp measurement.
Newer cars like yours possibly do though as you indicate.

So it does not display MAF voltage output, or any direct output from it ?. But some strangely calculated number based on its output, and perhaps other factors too ?

Basically, could it be used for people to determine if their MAF is going faulty on a 99/00 car, due to it suddenly giving different than usual readings ?
But if the Scangauge output it displays is fudged by other factors, then it may be useless for this.

As to where power measurement comes in.....doesnt interest me in the slightest, as it will no doubt be ***** lol.

 

MAF does measure air flow and temp, the scangauge will show a fault code for the MAF failing given by the ecu.

So Stevie do me a favour and go to this web site and it will tell you the workings of the MAF, please be deligent enough to see the split diagram showing the parts, including and I highlight this AIR TEMP SENSOR

as for what the scangauge shows on 99 cars, just for you I shall endeavour to find out, if just to quit

 

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead....
Will the scanguage work with remapped ecu's ie. not interfere/clear the new map setting?

 

any photos of the scangauge fitted to that 06 sti thanks

 

hey mate, have the car mapped by andy f and have a scan gauge fitted with no problems.

 

scan gauge works fine with ecutek, got them on mine, all the scan does is read ecu signals for info, ie boost, volyage, temp etc, aalso reads fault codes, UK models, jap imports is a no, been tried....., wont read 99 imprezas but will read all uk new age

 

if andymac comes up to me i will fit mine to his 07, take pics & show...

 

lol have mine fitted and all jonny, you can get the shots when up this nck of the woods on delivery duty....as battery dead atm lol

 

Imagine having a dead battery

 

Fits spot on for port access and location where I have it on my MY06 STi.

Have mine mapped and there's no issues. Very useful bit of kit

 

lol, imagine that
tho could be worse...it could of happened after id got lost going to the wrong venue....
and then having to collar two poor fellas to push your jap scrap lmao

 

have mine fitted on the dash, beside the drivers "a" pillar.
handy location to see all readings and not hindering road view in any way.

 

I didnt get lost going to the wrong venue, I knew where the wrong venue was!

 

pics please, and whats that smackdown cr@p ur playing this morning at 2 am... lol

think I didnt see ya

lol

 

pic as requested.

 

bump

 

bump bump bump

 

....er ....er ....er !!!!!! lol

 

hahahahahahahahahhahaerrrrrrrrrrr c u 2 moorow matesy

 

after lunch

 

lol no probs jonny, ill prob be able to meet ya if needs be........
Good to see ya up tonight btw.
