Well, I got my Scangauge II back from linear-logic after sending it in to get the "x gauge" software update. On their site, one of the "x gauges" is horsepower. So, I put the scangauge back in the car and inputted all of the codes for this horsepower read-out. Low and behold I now have HP as one of my 'gauges'. At idle it reads between 4 and 5 horses. At WOT it was between 155 (Automatic, it shifted) and maxed at 170. Kinda cool. The other three gauges i have running is timing, volts (car pc), and air intake temps. The scangauge was quick to update the HP readings.

Is it accurate? I will prob. never know. BUT, if I make a change on the car, then I can be able to see a change. Wish I had this when my car was stock then I could 'see' the changes as I swapped/added parts...

btw, cost me 25.00 because I bought it before the cutoff date.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this function (the HP) does work, wished the MAP worked too...

 

Sounds cool! Another reason to look into scanguage I guess.

 

Ahhh phooey, I have to pay!

Course there isn't a way to do it on my own w/o them is there?!?!

Everybody wants money...... money money money.... wtf?



hmmm I could just say I bought it AFTER the 20th, muahahahah

thats only because I don't remember when I bought it....

 

i think its pretty accurate. im still trying to figure out which is the oil temp reading code.

 

i just ordered mine yesterday, i cant wait to test it out!

 

Let us know how you like it!

 

So is the hp readout already on the new scangauges? Im looking to order one within the week from 365 and wonder if it will already have this new software update?

 

You will have to add the code...sw will be new!

 

I just got the scanguage, what is the hp code? Or, better yet., a link to the codes list. I'm going to continue searching, but nothing for "xguage" came up.

 

You should grab the new manual... http://www.scangauge.com/support/pdfs/SGMan5_0.pdf

And here are the codes...

Good luck!

Ye,p I get them with a fresh load of software!
