I figured I'd keep everyone updated on what I'm doing with the Atom. Being a gearhead, I love to tinker with cars. The first step to any successful modification, is knowing what's going on. Is the modification actually useful, or detrimental to performance? To keep an eye on the vital signs, I've added an
Aeroforce Tech Interceptor scan gauge. This gauge will display two parameters at a time. It will log 0-60, 1/4 mile, display Miles Per Gallon, Boost, RPM, MPH, Coolant Temp, Throttle Position, Air Intake temp, Air Intake temp POST Intercooler, and a few others. IMO, the most helpful will be Boost Pressure and Air Intake temp 2 (post intercooler). When the AIT2 increases, the engine pulls timimg. Pulling timing = loss of power. Keeping an eye on this parameter will let us know the efficiency of the Intercooler.
Installation was easy. The gauge has one cable that plugs into the the OBD2 port, and another cable that goes to 12v switched power. This second cable also has inputs for two external analog sensors. I may add Oil Temp later on. I added a wire loom to the cables for a more clean look.
Mounting is up to you. I used tape to protect the frame, and zip ties.
There are a few different colors you can order. The blue one matches nicely with out standard dash. The illumination can be reversed for day or night driving.
