crans Member 275 Member For: 18y 11m 18d Posted 05/12/06 06:56 AM Share Posted 05/12/06 06:56 AM Hey all,What sensors should I try and tap into for data logging and real time display for my carputer project.Should I install separate sensors or try and tap into existing ones.How many MAP sensors does the T have? and does anyone know there output voltage range?

I get all the sensor information from the cars OBD port into my Laptop Computer.The information is in real time. The software I use:Proscan v 4.0Digimoto v 4.03Pcmscan v 1.4.3AutoTap v 3 Edited 05/12/06 07:54 AM by 937 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30860-tapping-in-to-car-sensors/#findComment-472531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would have a +5v range, but I could be wrong.

( still CAN, and still read from the OBDII port )I also have a basic scanner, Autoenginuity but that's a bit more exxy than 937's. He has the shareware software ( just as good ) but they can't read as many sensors as the SCT/CAPA data logger.The best you get from BF is CAT temps, and general temps like ambient/coolant and air intake with the basic scanners....

Outside of the SCT product of course.This would be handy to have for fine tuning as well as displaying the data on the screen.
