My Big build Thread

[Texas Marauder]

I didn't fall asleep I promise I'll be getting to cool shit on the SHO in the future. Bringing it in to Ford for some tpms tomorrow and seeing if I can get my boy to learn how to code the right info screen on the dash so we can get read outs like oil pressure tire pressure coolant and oil temps iat etc. Had a chat with him today since he's been digging into forscan pretty heavy and we're gunna see what we can do to get us some car data we can easily see.

The IPC is not capable of displaying individual tire pressure. There is no oil pressure sensor for real oil pressure, only a light. The is no sensor or wiring for oil temperature.

welp looks like we'll have to add it in then and see if we can maybe just replace that whole screen with a data reader

SO after inquiring into the feasibility of hijacking the dashboard screens we've come up again to the fact that most info is inferred and you can't access it let alone view it in real time so we are left running our own sensors. So question is if I'm running my own sensors do I just ditch this pcm and go with something aftermarket ? We shall see where we go from here. Pics from the spring underbody giga cleanup before it goes to see my boy Brett at the local Ford dealership to put it's first set of tpms to rest lol

OBD bluetooth adaptor, small tablet (or phone) and Torque Pro will display every data point that you can monitor.

I did that and still have a whole seperate tablet for that using the mx+ with low latency I would just like to have something a little more integrated that actually tells me what I'm looking for like all the good stuff. Maybe I'm just spoiled that my other cars tell me things like tire pressure coolant and oil temps etc. (but no freaking oil pressure on a few!). I'll be doing this probably on all my cars so it's probably more of a find a solid solution and apply that across the other cars the best we can.

Hahaha, I was rolling through the first couple of pics and knew it was a Porsche. Didn't pick up on the AMG in the 3rd picture, and was like WTF by the 4th picture.....and I went back and laughed at myself. Nice fleet.

Yea we definitely have a certain taste but funny enough you might imagine the wife drives the Macan but I apparently "ruined it" so now she prefers the GLA lol (once all the bushing and poly* I poured finally settle in it'll be much better)
