Hey guys, just installed my interceptor. Amazingly simple, toughest part was trimming some of the plastic in the pillar I bought to fit part of the the airbag connection.

What I am wondering is what do you guys all set your interceptors to read? I don't have a SC so I can't measure boost. At the moment I am reading Throttle % and HP.

What you guys displaying?



Also, anyone know what "annunciator" mode is? When it turns on, it is telling me that this is not setup. Also, anyone know how to set it up to measure the 1/4 times and all that good stuff?

 

the 1/4 time setup instructions are in the manual. and the HP setting is rumuored to be inaccurate. what the gauge display's is really up to you. personally i would have one of them measure your longterm FT as that is a good one to keep an eye on. at idle you want it to be as close to zero as possible.

 

excuse my lack of knowledge, but what exactly is long term fuel trim?

any more opinions?

 

i'm still learning it as well but it monitors your fuel much like a wideband would this is a definition i found for the fuel trims

Fuel Trim
Fuel trim refers to adjustments being made dynamically to the base fuel table to get the proper ratio of fuel to air. Short term fuel trim refers to adjustments being made in response to temporary conditions. Long term fuel trim is used to compensate for issues that seem to be present over a much longer period. Fuel trims are expressed in percentages; positive values indicate lean (add fuel) and negative values indicate rich (subtract fuel). Fuel trim banks refer to the cylinder banks in a V style engine. Cylinder #1 is always in bank 1. Fuel trim is generally calculated by using a wide set of data values, including front O2 sensors, intake air temperature/pressure (or the more elegent air mass sensor), engine (coolant) temp, anti-knock sensors, engine load, throttle position (and change in throttle position), and even battery voltage can effect fuel trim. Long term fuel trim generally should not exceed +- 10%.

hope that helps ya. and like i said i'm still learning as well on all this stuff.

 

Morning Bump... wanna see what setting you guys are reading

 

Most guys with ss/sc's show iat2s and knock. Some have their widebands into them so they could show that as well.

 

theres an adjustment so say you go to the dyno and it says 250whp and the gauge will say like 260-270 you minus like 5% of the value untill it reads accuratly... mine was only like 6hp off when i dynod my car it said i was making 6 more hp than dyno reading
