Hey Guys,

I have been using a gauge called the Aeroforce interceptor for all my cars. So I e-mailed Aeroforce to see if they have a gauge that would be compatible with the 370z.

The Interceptor hooks up to your OBD2 port and is able to read all the parameters that the ECU can read. It can also have external kits such as A/F, EGT, and boost. The gauge can shows up to two parameters at a time on the screen, but you can cycle through multiple options.

I personally like this gauge because it’s everything all in one. No need to have gauges all over the place to monitor your car.

I talked them into sending me one to try out on the car risk free. I will keep everyone updated on what the gauge shows on our cars, Aeroforce is anticipating the following will work:

1. INTAKE AIR- Intake Air Temperature
2. AMBIENT AIR TEMP - air temperature before the air filter, may be outside ambient or engine bay temp.
3. COOLANT TEMP- Engine Coolant Temperature
4. INTAKE VALVE TIMING - valve timing in degrees
5. RPM- engine Revolutions Per Minute
6. MAF SENSOR LB/M- Mass Air Flow (lbs/min)
7. MAF SENSOR VOLTS - raw voltage of mass air flow sensor
8. INJECTOR PULSE WIDTH
9. INJECTOR DUTY CYCLE – 0-100%
10. FUEL TEMPERATURE
11. THROTTLE POS PCT- Throttle Position percentage (0-100%)
12. CATALYTIC CONVERTER TEMP BANK 1
13. CATALYTIC CONVERTER TEMP BANK 2
14. MILES PER HOUR- Miles Per Hour
15. IGNITION ADVANCE- ignition timing advance
16. SHORT TRIM B1-short term fuel trim bank#1
17. SHORT TRIM B2-short term fuel trim bank#2
18. LONG TRIM B1-long term fuel trim bank#1
19. LONG TRIM B2-long term fuel trim bank#2
20. COMMANDED A/F RATIO – Commanded air-fuel ratio
21. TRANSMISSION RATIO - CVT transmission
22. TORQUE RATIO - CVT transmission
23. PRIMARY TRANSMISSION OIL PRESSURE
24. SECONDARY TRANS OIL PRESSURE
25. BATTERY VOLTAGE- Alternator/battery output voltage
26. ENGINE LOAD-calculated Engine Load (0-100%)
27. Miles Per Gallon – instantaneous fuel economy
28. Calculated net horsepower
29. TRANS TEMP- Transmission Temperature (gas powered automatics including CVT)
30. ENGINE RUN TIME - minutes since ignition was turned on
30. Analog 1 – analog input #1
31. Analog 2 – analog input #2

Along with all of that, there is a built in shift light. Other things to be tested are:

Manual fan control - this will be great at the track in the staging lanes, you can run your fans at a speed you select regardless of temperature.

Code Reader/Clear codes.

I am wondering if anyone knows if our car has a knock sensor or a misfire sensor? If so, I am hoping the gauge will read these as well.

I will be installing and testing it tomorrow night

UPDATES ON POSTS 4, 13 and 19

here is a picture of the one i recieved. comes with two different bezels and faces.
