Torque PIDs...Take 2

[ecoboostsho]

Can i use the already existing PID for intake air temp? Or do i need to create a new one? If i do what would the formula for that be?

Sorry for the late reply but I couldn't grab this out of the car. 

IAT1

PID: 22F40f
Equation ((A-40)*1.8 )+32

...and yes you can just substitute that in for the formula and calculate the difference.

Is the waste gate % supposed to be showing a value while under throttle? Seems like it's opening under boost...

Yes it will do that I believe.  It regulates the boost to a pre determined level based on throttle and boost level.  If it only wants 11 psi it will open under boost to keep that number.

Ok great! Thank you for the help!

It would make sense to moderate the boost that way. Under heavy throttle  sometimes I see 80%. Must be lots of boost left in these turbos.

Glad you are going to start monitoring! What are you going to run Torque on if I may ask?  I currently use a Droid Maxx but would like a little more screen real estate so I may move up to a 7" tablet.

AHRGH!!  What ever you got ......it's never big enough. I have a Nexus 7 and I wish it was bigger. Just like flat screen TV's I guess.

Just received free Samsung galaxy tab 2 (7") from Verizon last week with our new contracts...actually walked out only adding $7 to our monthly bill with cell service to both our tablets...we've had car for 3 months now and it's killing me to not be monitoring it...i see there's a couple different wires to hook the tablet up to car...haven't looked in last week so the names I don't remember. ..take it I need to buy the expensive one to achieve best results...was gonna order today but have been busy with sick animal to the vet all day...

Guy on another forum has decided not to do the tablet thing and is selling his MX dongle. That's the one to get in my opinion.  I think I remember him asking $50. If interested PM me for contact info. Only one wire really. Just need to hook the USB charger cord to a hot on ignition fuse if you want auto on and off. If you don't mind plugging and unplugging, and you are not going to stealth your cord, then you don't even have to do that. I did though!

Am I looking at wrong harness...obdlink mx

Larry, how tough was it to stealth the wire... i know it gets pretty messy under some dashboards

That's the one you want. It's not a harness though. It's a dongle that plugs into the OBD port and hooks to the tablet using Bluetooth.

I highly recommend the asus memo pad hd7. It's basically a nexus minus the google name.  Asus actually make the nexus.
I did a lot of reasearch before I made my decision last year.
One of the main selling points for me was the micro sd slot (up to 32gb) which the nexus does not have.

It's not bad really. It's pretty cramped under the dash drivers side where the fuse box is located. If you are young and flexible no prob. I'm not so I struggled.  I wired a female cig lighter connector to a hot on ignition wire I found on an unused fuse. Then I plugged in a car USB adaptor into that. Then ran the USB under the dash and the rest depends on where you decide to mount your tablet. I mounted mine over the Nav display so I came out with the USB cable from under the speaker grill.

My terminology will get better, I hope...so much to learn about these high tech rides nowadays. ..think I've just overstuffed my brain last few months with all the great info here...thx for all the tips and pointers, they are greatly appreciated...

Have the owners of torque approached you guys for job openings yet...lol

 

[SHOnUup]

That sounds doable. I have a 10 year old with skinny arms and a love for working with dad...sounds like a perfect job for us

I'd make a good cheerleader cause I really like and enjoy working and learning with it, but I'm not a nerd so it takes me a while sometimes to solve problems. I've been playing with my Tablet with torque for close to a couple of years now and the enjoyment keeps ramping up as I learn more and do more. ecoboostsho in particular has done more to expand the usefulness of Torque in our vehicles than I could have ever envisioned. So I do encourage you and if I can help with advice or info, I'm glad to repay what I have received.

 

[SHOnUup]

Thx for the advice glock-coma. Gonna run this freebie first.

The teamwork and selflessness in this thread is beyond words. I imagine that I will be a confused puppy looking for guidance shortly. Math I always loved, patience is still a work in progress. At some point I might have to offer up some drinks and dinner for a good tutorial! !!

 

[ecoboostsho]

Definitely a team effort!  I may have figured out a way to get the PIDs but everyone on this thread has helped in many ways - either through testing or coming up with great ideas or even contributing their own PIDs etc...  It's been a lot of fun!

I spent most of my initial efforts on the physical installation. Wiring and mounting because I'm fussy and I had a goal of how I wanted the tablet to work (auto on and off and self maintaining charge). Once I got that accomplished I thought I was done but I found out that Torque is pretty powerful and customizable so the work (or play) continues.
