Any idea where ya tapped in the red wire ?

 

The car is providing continuous power to the Interceptor then. this issue is not the gauges fault its the cars. Where did you tap into the power at? You want to tap into a fuse that powers down when the car is off. Your radio doesnt stay on when you shut the car off does it? So if you tap into the radio fuse the Gauge will shut off with the radio. If you tapped it into your dome light, then it always has power going to it so then so would the interceptor. To me it sounds like you didnt tap it into an accessory switch and you need to tap it off somewhere else. Use the radio fuse or the stock boost gauge wire. both of these power down when the car is off.

 

i tried the radio and the gauges but it stayed on so i put it in an empty one here is a pic of where it is i used the add a fuse.

 

I installed mine today and instead of using electrical tape to hold the gauge in place, I used a rubber band. Works great.

 

i think this is a must have and it is soooo easy to install(compared to other modz)

 

will it do anyhting for a 2.2 balt? i like the HP display, but is it accurate and does it have to say SS edition?

 

i don't know about the horsepower accuracy cause i haven't installed mine yet...but i know the SS edition is only an option they make. they make universal ones.

 

anyone know about the hp and option and if there is a lag when it tells u the boost amount

 

nice write up for install. will be using your method very soon

 

for those wondering about the shift light....read the instructions :P

you have to go into your menu and turn your datarate up to its maximum (which happens to be 1)

your shift lights ONLY work when your guage is datalogging at its highest speed.

 

wow thats crazy i did not know the install was so ez i may wanna order my interceptor soon

 

Looks great! I'm gonna order one along with the AEM wideband gauge. I'm gonna get CA's 3-gauge pod and put the stock gauge, and interceptor, and wideband. Does the stock gauge fit in the CA 3-gauge pod? Also since I can't tap into the stock boost gauges wiring, I have to go to something in the fuse panel. Are there unused fuses in there or will something have to share power? Finally, is the wire easy to run(as in no drilling through firewalls or anything?) I'm no electrician so sorry about questions about basic stuff lol

Anyone?...please...

 

So am I reading this correctly that you can turn off the shift lights if you want because I already have a raptor and I dont really want them on too.

 

hey good write up, quick question because i bought this gauge but im some what noob. all the data it proclaims to read is purely plug and play? in other words, just by installing it like you did we'll be able to recieve all this data?

 

Yep, any of the 25 or so parameters...2 at a time.

 

Can I just tap the pink wire to get power? I want to keep the stock boost gauge and put this in with it on the piller.

 

this only took me 20 minutes and that inclided trying to figure out what size socket to use...... BTW i used a 9/32 (i think) socket to get the a-arm off. i did it all while sitting in my car and only having the light under the rearview mirror. now im gonna read the directions to figure out how to really sue it....

 

Where an you get these and how much are they? What functions do you have with this?

 

I WANA KNOW THE SAME THING!!

hey ss/scking, im almost positive that we can do that but i just wana make sure.

 

Yeah, that's how I have my interceptor installed...However, in my opinoin, and in a lot of other people's opinions, it would be better to get power from the fuse box. At the time I installed it, I wasn't really there.....I was kind of....tipsy lol

 

haha the way to go when it comes to your car!!! i actually installed mine today already. tapped into the stock boost pin wire. works great!!

dude idk how accurate this thing is but im pulling 229 horse power in 3rd gear pulls

 

The hp calculator isn't accurate, everything else is though. Oh and the 1/4 mile time is slightly off, the trap speed is about 3 mph high from my experience. But yeah, the best $225 i've ever spent in my life. The guage works wonders. I just wish it was able to calculate a/f ratios.

 

the info for the aeroforce interceptor says it can scan and clear codes could this product turn like low coolant light off? and or move up the rev limiter? and i heard something about data logging do i have to hook this to a computer?

 

I have had an Interceptor installed for a long time. That install is kinda getto. My gauge came with a metal bracket to go over the threaded studs on the back to hold it in place rather than using tape or rubberbands. Also, don't butcher your harness, run a separate power cable to the fuse block! HOLLA!

 

Once my car gets fixed...I'm ordering one of these bad boys!
