After some searching and alot of questions...(thanks Jermaine @ TXS), I have found a gauge that will allow me to view the Tuner Wideband A:F info on a separate gauge.

The DynoTune Nitrous Wideband A:F gauge:



I got the gauge in a balck face, black bezel, with red LED display.

Here's what to do...........

The Tuner Wideband has an analog output (bottom pin of a 2 pin molex connector on the side of the Tuner.) The output sends out a DC voltage that varies from 0-5V.

That part was easy as this info is listed in the tuner manual.

The hard part was finding an A:F gauge that doesn't have a unique input plug. Both AEM and Innovate have gauges for wideband use, but I think they use special connectors. The dynotunenitrous.com is a simple 3 wire connection (+12V, GND, signal.) The other perfect aprt about the dynotune unit is that it has a perfectly linear output (1V input translates to 10:1 A:F, 2V - 20:1, 3V- 30:1, etc.)

Once you hook up the gauge to the Tuner, you need to go into the tuner's menus and edit the parameters. In the parpameters section, you will see that you have the abilty to change the output of the analog output. Factory settings are 0V - 9:1 AF, 5V - 25:1 AF. They only give you these 2 parameters to change. but fortunately, you can set the these parameters to anywhere from 0AF to 50AF.

Basically, you will set the the 0V value to equal 0 A:F and then set the 5V value to equal 50:1 A:F.

pics coming soon...............

 

Another reason I chose this gauge is due to the construction. The entire case, bezel, etc, is machined aluminum. The body of the gauge is compeltely threaded so that you can mount it in an thickness gauge cluster. Also, these gaues are about .75" - 1" thick....that's slim for those that don't know. I wouldn't have been able to fit an autometer (or similar depth) gauge into my ashtray area and still have the door close. Fianlly, the LEDs are amazing....they never wash out even in direct sunlight!!!

 

That looks really good. I like the small size of the guages, makes it easy to hide them.

 

Yup...I like to hide the gauges when others are in the car.

In this pic, you can see my boost gauge, too ( to the left of the steering column).........The passenger can't see though.

 

seems like you are talking to yourself a lot on this thread andrew...

 

it happens from time to time. i think I must be the only one who gives a damn about this.

 

....... "i think I must be the only one who gives a damn about this."

not entirely true !!!
was thinking about the aem wideband a/f until i saw your set up, nice....
so, can u crank out a parts list? pm if you want..thanks.
only thing i see is that your 05 sedan ashtray is much bigger than my 04's, might have to get smaller gauge to fit.........

 

hmmmm..parts list........

TurboXS has the connectors in stock now.....I had to order molex connectors from a company called digi-key.

Give TXS a call and speak to jermaine. I have spoken to him many times about this....and he is aware that I got it to work!

then for the gauge, go to www.dynotunenitrous.com



this gauge will work if you need a smaller gauge. It is the same as mine, but in a rectangle instead...and thinner.

this one shoudl work too:

 

Great job! That looks very clean and helps make up for some of the money you spend between the UTEC and Tuner.

 

thanks

 

quad, just received the square boost gauge from dynotune......cant't believe how small it is when compared to the round gauges....like your fuel gauge...haha..and get this, on the install instruction, it says this gauge can be use to monitor fuel pressure via another transducer and a swith! i gonna call them up on this as their website contains no info on this.........

 

looks awsome Andrew, i really like the way you can hide it that easily
