I've been mucking about with the 'Dash' function of the AEM EMS and using it to monitor various parameters. It can monitor and display any sensor that is connected to the ECU.

One thing I've realised is that we don't have a decent oil pressure sensor. It is just an on/off sensor. I'm wondering if I add an oil pressure sensor and also an oil temp sensor can I feed their output into some auxilary input on the AEM and calibrate and display the result? I assume other versions of the AEM for other cars have this so it's probably part of the base configuration.

Has anyone done this or similar? Are there any recommended sensors and applicable calibration file?

 

Ok,

AEM is about to produce a multi guage. Capable of displaying any parameter that is fed to the AEM. It will run on the serial data line.

The AEM allows for 8 inputs i think, so yes.. you can put an oil pressure line and 'tell' the aem ( I thnk ).

 

Try this link.. for a read up..

I'll eventually get this.. but i'm deciding how best to do it..

You can add a oil pressure sensoe and use a avalible input. But unless you are really worried about it, I'd just run a gauge. The only advantage to running it into the EMS would be warnings and logging.

 

Thanks Scorpion.

As mentioned, I've been mucking around with the 'Dash' feature, so all my gauges are going to be digital images on an LCD screen.

 

You could use an AEM sensor. You should have the documentation in AEM\AEMPro\Instructions directory, the files you want to look at are 30-2114.pdf, 30-2115.pdf,30-2116.pdf. They cost about US$ 150 each.

 

Wow, bit steep for a sensor but might be the best option.
