Trying to determine software for gauges...

I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly to search for to find my answer...

I have an Evo X MR. I have picked up the Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 Cable for logging. I also have a Windows CE device to capture the logs. What I want to know is if it's possible to monitor Boost, Wideband A/F, & Tranny Temps with software, on Windows CE device, instead of installing gauges.

I realize I'll need to get a Wideband Sensor and Bung in order to get Wideband capabilities, I'll also need to figure out a way to monitor the tranny temps, unsure on that part. What I don't know is if there are any cables and such that I can connect to my Windows CE device and software I can run to allow me to monitor through software.

Ideally I would like to not have to install gauges. I just want to make sure I've covered my bases before I start buying them.

Sorry, for bothering to ask I'm sure it's in here somewhere.. I just suck at finding it.

Why do you say this? Because it's easier or because it's not possible to do what I want to do?

Post in the ECU forums. I know you can log boost & such with an 8or9 so im sure it can be done with the X. Not sure what all can be monitored. Those would be the guys to know though.

Alright I posted where I think you were talking about...

This stuff just isn't clicking for me. I'm a very visual person and I'm about to lose it trying to imagine how all the parts connect.

Buddy sent me this link helping me out.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...n-m-1b-vs.html

Doesn't look like you'll save any money going the software route.

AEM Transmission Temp Gauge 100-300F - $150
AEM Wideband UEGO Air Fuel Ratio Gauge - $225
AEM Boost Gauge 50 psi - $200
A-Pillar Gauge Pod - $200

~750

vs.

~$600 (in a less ideal location)

Depending on where you live be careful of gauges. Also be careful of where you place them. We have been having a few customers harassed by the big man.

I'm sure you don't wanna drive around with a laptop EVERYWHERE you go do you? I know gauges may attract some attention but a laptop in the passenger seat... that would scream STEAL ME. Besides gauges are more convenient and in some cases more accurate. The AEM Uego is a very good choice. Also try looking at some Innovate products.
