im using torque and i love it, right now i only have my phone mounted where the cubby is and i use torque on there

i might get an android head unit though just to do torque and other google stuff like nav and music

hate to bump an old thread, but oil temp is now available. you just need to download the "nissan adv" plugin from google play store. oil temp is listed as VVTI Oil Temperature.

some other cool things it can display:

* VVT Oil Temperature (*)
* Base Fuel Injection Pulse Width
* Fuel Injector Pulse Width / Duty Cycle
* Mass Air Flow (*)
* MAF Volts (*)
* EVAP Purge Duty
* A/F Ratio Adjustment
* Camshaft Advance Angle (*)
* Cruise Control Speed (*)
* Cooling Fan Activation
* A/C Compressor Activation

all of these work on my Z. i had some google play credit from google opinions (free credit for doing quick surveys) so i tried it out. pretty sweet

yeah i know. i bugged the developer many times to get his plugin working for our car lol.

wish we could have transmission temp. working.

yah, we have an oil temp gauge... be nice to have other readings like oil pressure. :D

but you can log all your data to the webserver which is pretty neat, and this also negates the need to have an aftermarket oil temp gauge, say if you were to replace the cluster.

that's pretty cool indeed. :tup:

haha awesome. i just recently set it up and was surprised to see the oil temp was working. wish the radiator low/high fan speed was a toggle button though ;)

Does the app have a fuel gauge dial and is it more accurate than the stupid dots?

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if you could could could adapt aftermarket electrical sensors and have them display in the app. In a couple of years of course :)

wat wat wat ?

hummmm... the dots are just LED's. i think its the sensors and sendors that making the LED's appear inaccurate. in that case, even if you app has a fuel meter, it's only going to be accurate showing inaccurate readings.

kinda like saying MT on a car sucks while it's really the driver that sucksarse at driving MT's. :icon17: wont fix the problem by giving another MT.

I have no idea how "could" showed up 3 times. hahaha

If you look at the hks camp 2 system, it allows you to purchase additional sensors. So lets say you wanted to monitor oil pressure, you would buy the hks oil pressure sensor and tap it into a oil pressure source. Then wire it up to your camp 2 so the pressure can be displayed.

I guess for torque to do that, the sensors would somehow have to be tied into the stock ecu. Not saying it's ever going to happen, but I can dream right?

how did that ha come up 3x? :mad: :icon17:

You will never see oil pressure as there is no oil pressure sensor. The factory "sensor" is just a is there more than a couple psi switch. The low pressure dtc is actually set when the valve timing detects an error. The ecu in our car has absolutely no idea what the oil pressure is.

:iagree:

Sorry to bump an old thread, how are you getting the cooling fan activation to work?

Just got the OBDLink MX, Torque, and the Nissan plugin for torque and I'm loving it! Thanks to all the previous posters for the great tips and info! :tiphat:

I just installed Torque pro with Nissan Advanced EX with the OBDLink Interface.

My ECU was e-tuned with UPrev with target and logged values about 12.6 - 14.7 AFR

Torque is logging 8.0 - 9.5 AFR !

What's happens?

Just started getting into this. Have an OBDLink MX and Torque. Is the Advanced EX plugin useful on the Z?

^you get engine oil temp reading.

Hmm... and we already have a gauge for that. Not sure that's worth another $5... No 'camshaft angle' or 'cruise control speed?"

Was hoping tire pressure would be in there, somewhere at least.

I took a quick look at the Torque web site. If you know the address/PID of the variable, it looks like Torque will let you look at just about anything. https://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpfor...topic&t=4532.0 shows how to convert from ECUese to human-readable form.

I have the paid version and the exnissan feature it is amazing have it on my tablet on the cubby box for constant readings recently did my ecutek tunning and it is extremely accurate

Whats better out of using kiwi 3 or torque pro?

Need to be able to display engine and trans oil temp, pressure, and boost gauge?

I don't know if there is a trans oil temp sensor that you can access.

The OBDLink MX made my car trip out. All the lights on the dash were on, warnings, etc until I shut off and then pulled the MX and restarted. Crazy. Like getting the data on the phone, etc but that no other effect but made me a bit paranoid.

I would be interested if anyone is using one of the phone HUD things. Many look cheap but seems a good way to get some of this data without a crazy setup (though sort of interested in that, too).

Mine makes the car trip out like 10% of the time. Glad I'm not alone lol

Torque Pro and the Nissan Add-on is awesome. I run it through a tablet mounted in my sunvisor.

(car is off which is why it says "no data")

How accurate is Torque pro or dash command?

Can I use them instead of a traditional boost gauge and wideband A/F gauge when I do my TT build?

Im thinking of going to torque app route to save on costs from new gauges/sensors, but not sure if it is critical to use standalone gauges instead.

Things I am looking at reading:
Boost
Oil Temp/pressure
Trans oil temp
Wideband

I would save alot of cash if I can safely rely on these apps instead.

I am running the LX and have had no issues =)

You can get Wideband for each bank, and, based on above posts, oil temp. I suppose it might be possible if you upgrade the MAP sensor to do speed density tuning to get Boost through it, though no one has reported that bonus feature. Oil pressure is impossible because the car lacks the proper sensor so the data doesn't exist. No idea on trans temp.

If you do decide to get some of your data through this method, buy a nice high speed adapter and not a cheap one. I had a cheap one at first.. worked great for clearing codes, etc... but for datalogging it was WAY too slow. My current OBDLink LX feels fast enough for this type of usage.

But if we add a oil pressure sensor to the car, can Torque app pick that up and display it, even though the car doesnt originally have an oil pressure sensor?

Not to my knowledge... unless it has some way to interface with external sensors.

Ok I think I may replace the factory gauges with Boost, Oil Pressure, and then trans oil temp.

Then use Torque app to display Engine oil Temp (VVT oil temp via nissan advance plug in) and A/F since I am pretty sure that it can atleast do them properly.

That way I won't have to add too many new gauges and keep the cost to a minimum for monitoring the vitals.

So I noticed Torque app has a paramter called 'Turbo boost $ Vaccum gauge'

Does anyone know if this works properly like a boost gauge for boosted Zs?

If you go into Torque's configuration while your car is running and the OBD2 adapter connected, the signals available will be highlighted in the signal list.

Yes I know this. I just wanted to know if anyone has compared the Torque App (Turbo) vaccum/boost gauge to a proper external boost gauge?

I have not. You're right to be suspicious. Torque massively underestimates my MPG.
